  • KitchenAid, built to last a lifetime!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 11, 2002
    Pros: Built to last quality providing superior service, in an easy to use product
    Cons: It's weight makes it impractical to move around.

    Summary: My wife and I had been waiting for a deal on a 4 1/2 quart and, after an lot of research we decided we really should have the 5 quart, but it was a little pricey. A regional department store sent out a flier recently and to my surprise they featured the ... read more

    Pros: Does so much
    Heavy Duty
    Attachments
    Keeps on working
    Cons: Weight (pro and con)
    Price (you do get what you pay for)

    Summary: I have owned the Kitchenaid Heavy Duty mixer since 1993, I believe that is the correct year.  I got it for a Christmas gift from my husband at a time in our lives when I have no idea how he afforded to buy it.  Anyway, it is the one item I ... read more

  • I'm Switching Sides

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 31, 2007
    Pros: Great attachments. Looks professional.
    Cons: Heavy but not heavy-duty.

    Summary: I grew up in a KitchenAid home, so when I received this mixer as a wedding gift, I was ecstatic, even though my husband's family were quite loud in expressing their opinions that Bosch mixers are much better. Not long after I received my mixer, my ... read more

  • KitchenAid--I'm sold!

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 13, 2007
    Pros: Easy to use, handles large quantities well, and easy to clean.
    Cons: It does require a rather large "footprint" on one's kitchen counter.

    Summary: I used an older Kitchenaid mixer when I prepared dinners for 150 people. I have a K-Tec in whose performance I am very disappointed. For my birthday last year my children gave me a KitchenAid 325 Watts K5SS Heavy Duty Commercial Stand Mixer which was ... read more

    Pros: easy to use design, very durable and reliable
    Cons: heavy, whisk attachment had discoloration after dishwashing

    Summary: I got this kitchenaid mixer 3 years ago. It is one of the best mixers I have ever used. It is still going strong after 3 years of abuse. I can use it all day during my christmas baking season. The mixer came with stainless steel bowl, three different ... read more

  • Beats the heck out of hand mixers!

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 8, 2007
    Pros: You'll continue to be amazed at what it can do!
    Cons: That the mixer doesn't already come with the shield and bowl lids.

    Summary: I received this mixer as a gift for an anniversary. My mother had the same type of mixer, a similar model having the same transmission, and said she wouldn’t have anything else. We have all battled with cookie batters that were far too heavy for hand ... read more

    Nov 26, 2006
    Pros: Fast, time saving, beautiful, and has it all. Luxury at it's best!
    Cons: Expensive. Heavy.

    Summary: If I only had four arms...I could keep up with the Christmas cookie bake off for all of my loved ones, I could whip up batches of homemade muffins and eggs florentine like a pro! Or maybe, my new expensive baby by KitchenAid will put me at the top of the ... read more

  • TOP OF THE LINE!

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 12, 2006
    Pros: Easy to use. Cleanup is a snap! Powerful and not bogged down by heavy doughs!
    Cons: Extremely heavy and quite a space hog.

    Summary: I love this mixer. I've wanted a KitchenAid mixer for several years now, but the price was always seemingly out of my budget. Every year, however, found me buying another mixer (or two) as they eventually would burn out with any heavy doughs. Since I ... read more

  • Major time saver mixer!

    Sep 28, 2006
    Pros: It lets you keep your hands free for other things while it mixes!
    Cons: It's very heavy and large...but what good mixer isn't?

    Summary: I Recently purchased this KitchenAid heavy duty mixer. I’m very excited to have it! I do cake decorating on the side of my full time job (as a mother and wife), and the mixer really cut down on the time I spend on making frosting for my cakes. Some ... read more

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 2, 2006
    Pros: A powerhouse of a mixer. Makes light work of many tasks.
    Cons: Only comes in white. Not easy to move.

    Summary: Got this mixer for a wedding gift. Always wanted one. Back then, I coveted my Grammie's 60 year old Sunbeam bowl mixer (which still works to this day!) So, I was thrilled to finally get one of my own. However, unless you're a regular baker (and I wasn't) ... read more

  • Wow!! This Machine is Still Made Like it Used To Be!! It's Still Reliable!!!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 12, 2006
    Pros: All-metal construction. Heavy duty transmission and planetary mixing action.
    Cons: Wire whisk not dishwasher safe. Very heavy. Not a mixer to be carried a lot!!

    Summary: WHY ANOTHER KITCHENAID MIXER? At first, I wasn't going to buy another KitchenAid mixer. I was thinking about buying the Electrolux. But then I thought I'd try this one out first. Also, the Electrolux has an 8-qt. bowl, which qualifies it to make up ... read more

    Pros: Solid construction, powerful motor, durable, easy to operate, timeless design
    Cons: Large, difficult to move

    Summary: This review was published earlier and it was mistakenly put under another model's number. This mixer has been around for quite awhile, and with good reason. It's strong and durable. I bought this mixer because of a family member's recommendation. My ... read more

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 16, 2004
    Pros: Does the work for me, well worth the cost.
    Cons: Heavy and large needs it's own space on the counter,

    Summary: I will start by stating that I have had my KitchenAid K5SS for 12 years now. I received it as a wedding gift so I am not sure what it cost back then. Now it sells for around $300.00. I was a cake baker for many many years, including making my own ... read more

    Nov 12, 2003
    Pros: Good for mixing general household mixing- cakes, pies, mashed potatoes.
    Cons: Not suitable for heavy dough kneading.

    Summary: I was given this mixer as a gift a few years ago and it always worked fine for a few years. Then I started using it to make bread. I made a six cup flour recipe, which is within the limits of the mixer. After many months of the mixer straining to knead th ... read more

    Pros: a workhorse. durable. easy to use.
    Cons: heavy. must use mixing bowl provided.

    Summary: My mother tends to continue working with whatever she has in her kosher kitchen until someone replaces it or the item dies. She inherited this trait from her mother who appears to have inherited it from hers. The result is that someday my sister and I ... read more

    Nov 19, 2010
    Pros: For some reason, KitchenAid has a good reputation.
    Cons: My KitchenAid K5SSWH was either poorly designed or had a defective part.

    Summary: I agree with most of the negative reviews on this web site. After several years of infrequent and usually light use, the composite gear stripped. I'm hoping the replacement gear (costing nearly $30.00) is made of an improved composite
