Customer Ratings & Reviews

Metal shavings fell into our food the first time turning it on.

I am from Italy, and I am working for a while in the US, so, I always wanted one of these mixers (Euro/Dollar change rate helped me a lot :) ) then it's the first thing I wanted in my kitchen. Best Buy had one of the best prices around, so... Let me say that when you open the box, the item is very very pleasant to see...well refined, all the things have glossy painting, very nice. But it has to work, as well, so I tried to do the thing I miss more here in the US: the bread (sorry guys, but we are used to another kind of bread, no offense :) ) I decided to try with a small amount, just to test the machine...well let me say that it's not the way this item is designed to work: the mix sticked to the hook, and it almost stop mixing, it just turn with the hook, so I had to stop the machine, tear it away, start again. A couple of times the mix divided in two parts, one staying in the bottom of the bowl, and, again, had to stop and put the mix togheter. Not that good, in my opinion. But keep in mind that this happened to me just for small quantities. When I tried to use it for some more bread, almost the full capacity (something like 4 cups of flour) the thing works great, the mix is perfect. A thing I didn't like is the speed: two seems to be too fast for bread making, one is somewhat too slow, you have to adjust it, because with two the mix tends to come up on the hook. But this may be just a question of adjusting my habits of using the machine. Anyway, I did mayonnase, whipped cream, beated whites, mix for pancakes and crepes, and bread and donughts and so on...just keep in mind that I had problems managing small quantities. Another thing I cannot understand is: if they sell a tool to make ice cream, why don't they sell a slow cooker? It would be nice to make soups, vegetables cream, rice, and a lot of other nice things, that is a great hole, it should be the first thing, with such a bowl. In Italy I have the worverk cooking machine which work this way and it is wonderful, it helps me a lot (and saves me a lot of times). In conclusion, if you bake, basically, and you make mixes (well, is a mixer, you are right) in the right amount, well, it's the right item: it does what is intended for, and nothing else. If you are alone, and you don't use it so often, or if you want something more versatile, well, you should try something else.

I love it for the most part as long as I don't have to move it very much!

Easy to use only complaint the lid doesn't fit that well

Got this for my daughter for Christmas and she loves it.

I received the kitchen aid and subsequently I found out some stains in the paint at the top. Contacted the support but they won’t replace the item nor offer a refund.

We returned this due to the fact you had to put the attachment on after yo get the bowl almost in place. and have to remove attachment to pull the bowl off. We bought the Artisan series instead and are very happy

Great machine and amazing style. Mixing of ingredients is bit hard if the bowl isn’t full half way. Overall great mixer does the trick and saves my arms from tiredness of using a hand mixer.

I got it home and it didn't work. I need to return it, don't have a box.

It is broken already, I need to return it. I used it four times. It won't shut off. Please call me. Charles Stevenson

I love this mixer! You can do so much with one of these. I use mine for scones, cookies, cakes, icing, cinnamon rolls, bagels, and even pie crusts to name a few. It’s powerful and cleans up easily. I’ve had mine a long time and it still looks and acts like new. The great thing about this model is you can buy fancy mixing bowls to use with it also.

Cheaply made, i have to unplug it to shut it off, the mtor gets hot mixing a cake.

Take out of box didn’t even work took back to store wouldn’t give me my shipping back. And they were out of stock on getting a replacement.

The price was nice but the machine just broke down on the second use. Would not recomend this to anyone.

not useful product. I thought it was a complete set.

I grew up using a Kitchenaid mixer for all my moderate cooking and baking needs. My mother had gotten her kitchenaid from my father and it's lasted nearly a decade and shows no signs of stopping! It has a wonderful array of uses with it's various attachments, from grinding carrots in the meat grinder for carrot cake, to juicing and cutting pasta. Kitchenaid is by far the best mixer on the market that is within a moderate budget for the average individual*. *I base this off a value under say: $500. You are making a very wise investment with a kitchenaid and I know you will love it for many, many years to come. The only "con" of buying a kitchenaid mixer, is choosing the color! It is nearly impossible! Regardless the color, this mixer is built to last, simple as that. And you're going to get a lifetime's use out of this spectacular product!

Rcvd broken item Curious to order but disappointed

We've had our kitchen aid stand mixer for 4 years now and I will say it is by far one of the best home appliances we have. We have used it for making breads, desserts, pasta, sausage and more. It is something you will never regret purchasing!

Ordered on line and wrong mixer delivered. The replacement mixer blew circuit breaker when turned on. The 3rd mixer has worked so far. Spent much time on the phone and 3 trips to the nearest Best Buy store to resolve the issues to date. No link to sent this review!
