A:AnswerHi MK, The 120 volt (U.S.) appliances are not compatible with 220/240 volt requirements of other countries (as well as vice versa).
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.
A:AnswerHi Sadie, KitchenAid does offer a 4.5 quart bowl with a handle for purchase, part number K45SBWH. The 4.5 quart Ultra power stand mixer does come with the handle on the mixing bowl.
A:AnswerAll of the attachments that use the front hub of the mixer, as well as the Ice Cream Maker Attachment are universal on the K45SS model stand mixer.
