Pros: Great Performance, Great Customer Service

I recieved this mixer for a gift approx. 6 yrs. ago. Ok, you caught me, actually I took something back, exchanged it, and purchased the mixer.
There thats off my chest LOL

When I bought the Kitchen Aid I knew based upon what I'd heard, it...

Pros: Durable, nice looking, does the job well!
Cons: Heavy so it needs a permanent place on your countertop

I love my Kitchen Aid mixer. I first got it because it was THE mixer Martha Stewart and every other cooking guru used on television. Quite smitten with its design and as a symbol of a top-notch kitchen, I purchased one right after I got married.
...

Pros: quick and easy
Cons: kinda heavy

Buying this was a major dilemma for me. Was it worth the money? Did I really need it? Would something else work as good for less money? Well, I saved my pennies and bought it and it was one of the best investments of my life. I save a lot of time and my...

Pros: Useful for large portions, money worth spent
Cons: Handle with care, not as durable as it should be.

I purchased this Kitchen Aid about three years ago. It has worked wonders. Especially when you need to prepare large portions of meals. The reason I purchased it was to hopefully get a better performance than my hand held mixer. I still have a hand held ...

Pros: The power!!!!!
Cons: It weights a ton

I have to admit that the only reason that I wanted a Kitchen Aid mixer was because Martha Stewart had one.

Fortunately, I was dating someone at the time that wanted to make me happy!!!! So, that's how I got my Kitchen Aid. I will always have...

Pros: You just can't go wrong with this kitchen workhorse.
Cons: Don't wash the wire whisk...ever!

My Kitchenaid mixer is handsdown my favorite small appliance in my kitchen. I even made it a cozy cover, so it will stay nice and clean all the time. I've had mine for 9 years (using it at least 3 or 4 times a week) and she's working just as well as the ...

Pros: 30 Years of use. Powerful. Can handle anything. Easy to use. Easy to clean.
Cons: There isn't anything I don't like about this mixer.

I bought this mixer 30 years ago when the model number was just K45. The mixer only came in white at that time and other than commercial sized mixers for restaurants, you did not have different models to choose from that you have today. The only thing I ...

Pros: You can make so many things with this one mixer
Cons: Cleanup is a little difficult

I got this kitchenaid mixer as a present for christmas, from my boyfriend who knows that I love to cook and bake. So far, I am not the least bit disappointed.

This mixer comes with 3 attachments, and a stainless steel mixing bowl. One...

Pros: Sturdy, powerful and heavy-weight mixer is more than capable of doing the job!
Cons: Heavy duty can also mean heavy weight. Take care when lifting the mixer.

I wanted a new mixer last Christmas for one reason: To mix up quadruple batches of cream cheese frosting for the holidays. Pumpkin bars need cream cheese frosting. When you make the bars to give away, you make several batches. And that requires a ...

Pros: Durable--20 years and still going strong, easy to clean.
Cons: No complaints after all these years.

Mine was made in St. Joseph, Michigan. I don't know where they make them now. I am amazed that they still have the same model Kitchenaid, the K45SS, after I have had this for more than 20 years. We purchased this approximately 4 years after we were ...

Pros: Does a great jobs with thinner and medium batters.
Cons: Too underpowered for bread kneading.

background: I have been making bread for 20 years. I stopped 5 years ago when I entered grad school and used a breadmachine as a time saver. Now free of school I celebrated by buying this Kitchenaid mixer, planning on making more of my food, especially ...

Pros: You should taste my bread.
Cons: A little underpowered for some dough. Dough hook isn't perfect.

I could not live without my Kitchen Aid.

Um, maybe I should revise that. I couldn't make extremely fine bread without my Kitchen Aid. I'm simply too lazy to knead and knead and knead and knead. But with the Kitchen Aid, I'm able to shock and...

Pros: It lasts forever, and made in the USA!! Does everything...and it's MADE IN THE USA!!
Cons: Heavy, pricey, blah blah blah. Who cares? It lasts forever! It's made here!!

My mom got this KitchenAid Classic mixer as a gift from some co-workers. Well, she definitely could NOT have asked for a better gift. Seriously, this is the best appliance in our kitchen, not even the stove or the microwave comes close!It mixes ...

Pros: Great sturdy, versatile mixer. It stands up to everyday use with few hiccups
Cons: Wish it came in all the colors, too weak for some heavy jobs.

I received my KitchenAid Classic Stand mixer a couple of years ago as a gift. At the time, I was kind of sad that I had not gotten the 5 quart Artisan KitchenAid in a pretty color (my eye was on the green, to match my food processor), but now I can say ...

Pros: Heavy duty, fast,big mixer bowl,long lasting
Cons: expensive,hard to pour things into it when running,large

When i was growing up in my parents house to make cookies or anything that was bigger and had to mixed we had a big red bowl,we called it the cookie mixer. It was fun using it when my mom had to do the mixing but as soon as i was big enough to make...
