KitchenAid K45SS Classic 250 Watts Stand Mixer

Pros: Quality product, easy to clean, versatile!
Cons: Bowl is on the small side if you make large batches of cookies, etc.

I use my Kitchen Aid mixer more than any other appliance in my kitchen. While I don't have any of the extra attachments (I've been eyeing and am sure if I had the ice cream maker I'd use it!) I bake a lot and this mixer does such a great job and is so ...

Pros: Durability, quality, clean classic style, versatility
Cons: Grating attachments are not easy to use

I've had my classic Kitchen Aid mixer for 15 years and it still looks great on my counter and it works perfectly! It's my most used kitchen appliance and I use it for just about everything from making pancakes to mashed potatoes to sauces. It comes ...

Pros: Terrific, heavy duty and long lasting
Cons: heavy

I love this mixer- it is fabulous. My mother has trouble with her wrists and also with keeping a mixer for long. We do a lot a baking and cooking in my house and so so used to go through little hand mixers very fast, they would always burn out. We bought ...

Pros: None
Cons: Poor factory attitude, limited capability, a shadow of the original Hobart design

After reading the glowing reports, I must conclude that the manufacturer is loading the results. Two Kitchen Aid stand mixers in ten years. One with motor failure, one with a stripped plastic worm gear. In both instances, the company offered no ...

Pros: It's a mixing brute
Cons: It's heavy!

I bought a Kitchen Aid mixer about 20 years ago and it was not cheap (about $185.00). But it is a true workhorse, especially if you are into mixing pizza, bread or cake dough. It still looks like it just came out of the box after 20 hard years of mixing....

Pros: durable,reliable,sturdy
Cons: heavy,kind of expensive

The mixer works pretty well. They are rather large and heavy so it can be difficult to move. Kind of takes up a lot of space and pretty expensive. To me it does just about what any other mixer can do. It can handle a lot of dough without too much ...

Pros: Heavy Duty, versatile.
Cons: Attachments are expensive

I love this machine. It is very versatile it can make anything you would like; candy, bread, and cookies. This machine is about $250.00 and sometimes you can find it on sale around the Holidays for under $200.00 I bought this machine because it is ...

Pros: Variety of uses, classic style, abundance of colors
Cons: Choosing a color

I received the mixer as a gift. I started asking for it years ago, after I worked in an upscale kitchen store that sold Kitchen Aid products. I was always impressed with its durability and the attachments that enable the user to do more than mix. The...

Pros: Easy to use, lots of attachments
Cons: The larger bowl model is nicer

As a professional chef, I occasionally find it necessary to mix small batches of sauces and confections. This mixer fits the bill perfectly. I use the wire whip 90% of the time and it has the ability to mix well and if you're beating egg whites it adds...

Pros: Very Durable, mixes the heaviest doughs without slowing down. Attachments are easy to change out.
Cons: Is a little pricey - but well worth the money, and it'll last forever!

My husband won this mixer in a contest, and tried to convince me to return it for something else. The best thing I ever did was not let him talk me into that! I've had this mixer for 7 years and completely LOVE it! It mixes cookie dough like a snap,...

Pros: Mixes quickly and completely. No effort required.
Cons: Takes up counter space.

I can't say enough great things about this mixer. It takes all the work out of stirring or holding a handheld mixer. It mixes in bullet speed and everything is blended. I didn't used to bake that much but now that I have this mixer I do it more often...

Pros: You will always be pleased with it's smooth operation and great wonderful presentation.
Cons: Attachments are a little expensive but very easily found.

The Kitchen Aid is definitely a great mixer! It has a very impressive reputation of durability and professional quality. My sister in law has even borrowed it for her catering business when her mixer breaks (not a Kitchen Aid). I have had my mixer for a ...

Pros: Tough and durable
Cons: none

I received this product as a Christmas gift several years ago. I really didn't think I needed a stand up mixer. I had actually suffered with a hand mixer for 30+ years. I didn't know I was suffering until I used this beauty!
Since this was a...

Pros: Handles the stiffest dough easily and is so easy to use
Cons: can't think of any

My mother had a kitchen aid mixer that I grew up using and when I got married I neglected to put one on my bridal registry. I didn't get one but did get a hand held mixer. Every time I made cookies I complained that I wish I had my mom's reliable...

Pros: It has multi-speeds and can handle large batches.
Cons: Takes up alot of space and is kind of heavy.

My mother has always had a Kitchen Aid and I loved it. But being a housewife and mother of 3 beautiful boys, I wasn't able to afford one. Last Christmas my mother bought one for me and I have just loved it. I use it all the time. I decorate cakes on the...
