A:AnswerHi, mohammed, The 120 volt (U.S.) appliances are not compatible with 220/240 volt requirements of other countries (as well as vice versa).
What many consumers are not aware of is the potential danger that differences in cycles/second can create. Where in the United States electricity is delivered at 60 Hertz (Hz), most other countries deliver the electricity at 50 Hz. Running 60 Hz appliances in a 50 Hz environment forces the motor in your appliance to run at a slower speed, and can potentially cause immediate motor or operational failure. Not only is this failure not covered by any manufacturer's warranty, but has been known to result in electrical shortages and/or fires.
Additionally, KitchenAid does not recommend the use of a transformer for any KitchenAid countertop appliance. Doing so could cause damage to your appliance or the home electrical system, as noted above.
A:AnswerIt will if you purchase the grinding attachment. (Sold separately) I have the attachment and processed a deer with it and have also ground several pound of beef.
A:AnswerHi Bkm, The KSM155 model stand mixer is capable of mixing at one time 9 cups of all purpose flour of 6 cups of specialty flour. The mixer can be used for making different candies.
A:AnswerThey say that they are "not dishwasher safe". But, I have thrown mine in the dishwasher for over a decade and it still works great. Aluminum tends to oxidize so there will be a slight change in the looks of the coloring. It sometimes leaves a very light mark on my hands when I touch it. It does not leave any coloring in anything I mix.

A:AnswerI believe it is all metal. The machine itself is VERY heavy, the only plastic I think would be the ring in which the mixing bowl is attached at the bottom.
