Cons: too heavy to store in the basement if you use it often

When my sister and cousin chipped in to buy us a KitchenAid Classic Stand Mixer for Christmas a few years ago, I politely thanked them and secretly wondered what the heck I was going to do with the thing. I was a novice cook and certainly not ...

Review of the Kitchen Aid Classic Mixer (October 30, 2001)

My wife is a gourmet cook. She loves baking and she is one of the best bakers in the world (I have a small spare tire around my waist to prove it!). One of her big secrets to...

Pros: Heavy and durable, will last longer than you!

First I want to thank my family for really thinking about what I really wanted and what I would really use for a long time while they were shopping for my gift.

How did I fall in love with the Kitchen Aid?
Well, where do I...

Pros: Durable, multi-use
Cons: None

Looking back, I wonder how I ever got along with my ancient hand mixer that was a "hand-me-down" on top of everything.
My husband, being a practical type of guy, gave me this for Christmas about 8 years ago. It was a very appreciated gift, and one...

Pros: Lasts literally a lifetime
Cons: Darn heavy-- not easy to move around

My parents have been married over 50 years and they still have their original Heavy Duty Kitchen Aid mixer. My mom is a heavy duty baker-- everything from scratch. The poor, deprived child I was, I didn't know what a Twinkie was until I could purchase...

Pros: Does the work of many hands
Cons: A bit heavy to move around a lot

Over the years there are many gifts I have received but the one I find myself using most is my Kitchen Aid Mixer. After many countless different types of hand and stand mixers, we finally made the investment and purchased a Kitchen Aid. We wanted...

Cons: Stand back on Speed 10....

I received my The KitchenAid’s Classic 250 Watt 4 ½-Quart Stand Mixer as a "hand-me-down" from my sister-in-law who moved up to the "Industrial Model" of the same brand. I still feel like I won the lottery. I had never had a “stand“ mixer before ...

Pros: it's a stand mixer, mixes very quickly, doesn't require a lot of scraping the bowl, easy to clean, and very stylish
Cons: I can't really find any, except that it's a little expensive but it's well worth the price

Ah, my Kitchen Aid Classic Mixer! What a lifesaver it truly has been. I just received mine about three weeks ago from my mother. Actually she gave me hers because she went out and bought the new and improved version. The bigger one with more power as...

Pros: This machine will last you forever and its so easy to use.
Cons: Takes up valuable counter space and is heavy, but is well worth it.

This Kitchen Aid 4.5 Quart Stand Mixer was a wedding present that I received from my Mother over three years ago. My mother has loved her Kitchen Aid appliances for years and she gave this to me along with Kitchen ...

Pros: Powerful, dependable, looks good, doesn't walk away
Cons: None except bowl doesn't have a handle

My Kitchen Aid 4.5 Quart 250 Watts Classic Stand Mixer was a housewarming present that likes to purr and exercise. I love the power and control that this mixer offers. It makes cooking as much fun as driving a Porsche on winding country roads. ...

Pros: Well designed powerful tool for the family cook or the bachelor
Cons: Weight

What in the world would a guy do with an industrial strength mixer? Well, consider the point of view of a bachelor whose cooking skills are far from elementary, but who doesn’t have a great deal of time or will to craft the salubrious, delectable,...

Pros: Quite, Heavy Duty Mixer
Cons: none

After over 20 years of marriage and countless different hand and stand mixers, I finally broke down and purchased a Kitchen Aid. When we first set up house my wife said it would be nice to have a good stand mixer but I was pinching the dollars and got...

Pros: Incredibly durable, easy to clean, doesn't look like a monstrosity on the kitchen countertop
Cons: Sometimes doesn't quite mix all the way to the sides

I received my Kitchen Aid Classic Series K45SS stand mixer for Christmas a number of years ago and have become so attached to it that I would rather do without a dishwasher than do without my mixer. Sound implausible? It's true! I still don't have a...

Pros: A great mixer; kneads bread perfectly, you can walk away from it running!
Cons: Expensive and heavy, attachment accessories are almost as expensive as another mixer

I remember growing up, hearing my mother talk about how badly she wanted a Kitchenaid. No specific mention of the product, but we all knew what she meant. The countertop stand mixers. As I got older, I realized that I, too would appreciate a permanent ...

Pros: Powerful, long lasting, saves time, money and hassle!
Cons: Some people say it takes up too much room, but well worth it to me!

I am finally the ecstatic owner of my own Kitchen Aide mixer! I had to wait to have this luxury, because I never could afford it, until now. It is an investment, but really worth it. I have probably beat into the ground 10 cheap hand mixers in my 20...
