KitchenAid has been the top name in stand mixers for as long as there have been stand mixers. Really — the brand produced the very first commercial stand mixers back in 1919, and even before that, KitchenAid’s mixers were standard issue on every ship in the US Navy, so it’s designed to take a lickin’ and keep on mixin’.

This stand mixer offers 10 different speed settings and multiple different attachments including a Flex Edge beater, coated dough hook, flat beater and wire whip. Add ingredients using the convenient bowl-lift feature, just like you see in commercial kitchens. If you want to add items while it’s mixing or avoid the annoying drip from tilt-back mixing heads, you can use the included pouring shield to avoid stray chocolate chips bouncing back at you.

With a premium metallic finish and elegant mixing bowl, the iconic KitchenAid mixer is sure to add style to your kitchen. Choose from nine fun colors, including contour silver, dried rose, blue velvet, empire red and more.

The KitchenAid mixer isn’t just flexible (both in design and options), it’s also thorough. Its planetary mixing action means it’s designed to hit 59 distinct touchpoints in the bowl to ensure complete and even mixing. No stray traces of flour lingering on the edge of the bowl!

Customers can't stop raving about the KitchenAid mixer, adding that these machines "nearly last forever."

Pros 👍

One five-star reviewer said, "This is my first stand mixer. I bought the KitchenAid because upon asking friends and family, they all said without reservation a KitchenAid. The quality of the mixer is great. It feels solid and well-made. It makes less noise than my hand mixer and is more powerful on lower settings. I was able to choose a color that fits my kitchen color scheme perfectly."

Added another fan: "I love the color! It is so elegant looking in my kitchen. I love the lift head feature. It is so much easier to put ingredients into and get the beaters out. You will love the power this has! I love the ease of mixing cake from scratch. I can’t wait to make more with my new KitchenAid mixer."

This shopper is passing the KitchenAid love to her grandchildren. "I bought this for my granddaughter and she loves it. I have this same model and have been using it for many years. If you love to bake, you need this mixer. It will give you a lifetime of good service!"

Cons 👎

It's not 100% flaw-free, though. One purchaser noted that she was disappointed in the bread-kneading function. "The mixer head bounced around when doing only one loaf of dough. ... I've used my mother's 50-year-old mixer with no problem."

"I bought this newer mixer to replace my older model. I twisted the mixer bowl on and now I can't untwist it to remove. The mixer isn't as heavy as my old one and just slides around," said a buyer.
