“Is it really WORTH the extra money for the 300W motor? I will be making breads, pizza doughs, etc at times, not too often though.....will the 275 Watt motor suffice or SHOULD I get the more powerful 300 watt? There is a $50 price difference for the extra 25 Watts, so I would love an honest answer here..thanks!”

The Kitchenaid Classic 275 Watt Motor does just fine with making dough for bread or pizza. I believe that you will be very happy as I am with the Classic Mixer. I have not had any issues with the motor size. And you can take your extra money to purchase some other interesting attachments! Happy Cooking :)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I just returned my classic plus because I couldn't even make 4 cups of flour dough with it. The bowl is too small and the motor isn't powerful enough.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you're not baking daily the 275 watt will be enough for you. Watch for deals though because we got ours for under $200 during the last sale. Great buy for a great product!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.For an extra $50 I would get the 300watt. i needed to make that decision too and chose to get the higher watts for a few extra dollars. Glad I did. Great investment!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, i normally use to make bread and pizza dough and that is the moment when you need more power to mix.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Honestly I don't think it's worth it. I have the 275 watt and I've made breads and pizza doughs many times with no stalling of the motor. Save the $50 and buy yourself an attachment that you want.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It's worth it. I've had issues with the artisans motor sounding like it was pooping out just making two loaves of baguettes. But this was also a pretty old model my boss had. But I've read that if you're making breads of any sort you want the more wattage
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you have the money to spare go for it otherwise 275 watts will get the job done as well.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have the 275 Watt model and make homemade biscuits all the time. I would say the consistency of the dough would be comparable to pizza dough, so I would think you would be fine with the 275 Watt.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have the Professional 5 Plus bowl lift, it is 525 Watts maximum
