Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received this mixer yesterday for Christmas from my kids. Then I read the above review and I got a little aprehensive. Today I telephoned this number 1-800-541-6390 to ask about the attachments for this model mixer. She answered several questions and she gave me the numbers of appliance models that are compatible with the K4SS mixer. The wire whip model number is K5AW. The attachments with model numbers KSM500 and K5SS will all fit the K4SS mixer. Hope this helps.

KitchenAid ProLine 6-qt. Stand Mixer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this stand mixer for a few months now and I was very excited when it came in the mail. It looks great in my kitchen - very sleek and a nice size. The mixer is very easy to operate and very powerful, I never really mix above speed 5 or so. The whip, dough, and paddle attachments (included with the mixer) secure very easily and stay secured when in use. After everything is secured in place, the lever on the right side (as pictured) is turned to bring the mixing bowl up and in place. The mixer works very well in mixing all ingredients together even if there is very little inside - but sometimes takes a while. The attachments mix all the way to the bottom of the bowl. A cookbook is included with instructions and recipes. The Kitchenaid brand is reliable and it compliments other Kitchenaid items in my kitchen!
The reason for the 4 stars:
The mixing bowl can be a little tedious to put in place, however. There's a little ding in the back that has to fit into a hole. Once it is secured, then the side holes go in. If the back isn't secured first, the mixing bowl is not in place and swings - and would shake loose while mixing. Also, some of the metal coating on the attachments come off (I had to peel back a little so it wouldn't get into my food). After soaking the dough hook (so I could wash it) for a couple hours, it stained with some splotches. When mixing dough with the dough hook for bread, the mixer works very hard (the bowl rattles and the machine gets hot). A few times while kneading dough, the mixer shorted out and stopped working. I had to turn it off, unplug it, let it cool, then start kneading again. The fact that it just stopped working is disconcerting because I'm scared it will just stop working one day.

KitchenAid KSM100PSWW Ultra Power Plus 4-1/2-Quart Stand Mixer with Pouring Shield, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I own this KitchenAid model, and it is the second KA mixer I have owned. This model does a good job, and was a great replacement to my older model K45 of 30+ years. To me, the splash shield is indispensible for adding liquids, which tend to splash out, even at lower speeds. I would never be without my KitchenAid mixer, and it has helped out with cookie dough, decorator cake frostings, breads, quick breads, cakes, and anything else that needs a thorough mixing. The planetary action cannot be beat for efficiency.

Combining a resilient 300-watt motor with a heavy-duty transmission, this powerful stand mixer can handle the heaviest mixtures and mix large batches easily. The unit's 10-speed slide control ranges from a very fast whip to a very slow stir, while its 67-point planetary mixing action moves the beater clockwise and the shaft counterclockwise, enabling the beater to reach every area and mix ingredients thoroughly with no need to rotate the bowl. In addition, the stand mixer's large 4-1/2-quart stainless-steel bowl features an ergonomically designed handle that is contoured for comfort, and its tilt-up head allows clear access to the beaters and bowl. The unit's one-piece pouring shield prevents ingredient splatter and makes it simple to add ingredients when the mixer is in use. Three mixing tools are also included for specific baking needs. The C-shaped dough hook makes mixing and kneading quick and effortless; the wire whip produces a light, fluffy texture; and the nonstick flat beater increases efficiency and reduces beating time. Dishwasher-safe bowl and beaters make cleanup a snap. Designed with a solid, all-metal base, the stand mixer measures approximately 14 by 9 by 14 inches and carries a one-year hassle-free replacement warranty.

KitchenAid K5SSWH Heavy Duty Series 5-Quart Stand Mixer, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a heavier mixer than the "Artisan" model, and the bowl raises and lowers on a lever rather than the head of the mixer lifting up. If you make heavy breads or a lot of bread for your family, this may be a better choice mixer with the stronger motor.
You can also add a grain grinder to the front of the device--there's a lid that flips up and you insert it into a hole with a positioning pin. The motor then turns the grinder, sausage stuffer or vegetable grater. The grinders work terrific; the vegetable grater/slicer is a variation on those cone slicers and not my favorite attachment. But for a one-stop heavy-duty device that mashes potatoes, kneads bread, whips egg whites, stirs cake batter or grinds wheat flour or rye flour, this can't be beat.

Viking Range White Stand Mixer 7 Qt. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The machine died after 3 months. I am just starting to bake and was enjoying it until I taxed the Viking with bread making - not multiple loaves but just one at a time. It died very silently - no smoke or ozone/burnt motor odor - just quietly died while making cream icing with cream cheese and cream. I hit the reverse and it just started to make a gurgling noise and then was no more.
I called the company - not really the company but a repair facility in Detroit and was told the best they could do was to mail me a FedEx slip and I was responsible for boxing the unit and they would repair it.
When I suggested that they send me a box or another motor unit (I would send the current unit back) I was informed that this was not company policy. When I attempted to call Viking and when I asked to speak to corporate customer service I was directed back to the repair facility in Detroit - this happened over and over.
I mentioned that I bought the unit retail on the website they still insisted that they couldn't help me.
Cooks illustrated rated the Kitchen Aid Professional 600 as their number one choice - the Viking did not even make it into the first three best choices - I strongly agree. The Viking is more expensive and the service is lacking. And more importantly the maching is inferior.
I am considering the Hobart or the Kitchen Aid and I will keep the Viking as backup. When you buy a mixer get it from a department store that offers guarantees that include replacement units. I am going to the Sears website now.

Factory-Reconditioned KitchenAid RKG25H0XWH 5-Quart Stand Mixer, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been doing a lot of research on KitchenAid Mixers. Below is some information I felt may be of use to others trying to decide on a new KitchenAid Mixer.
If you have questions regarding a KitchenAid Mixer or other KitchenAid product, the KitchenAid Forums are a good place to start. The questions are answered by users and KitchenAid Employees. KitchenAid Employees will have "KitchenAid" in front of their name ex. "KitchenAid_Sally"
To find the forums go to the KitchenAid Website, select "Customer Service" at the top, then select "Join KitchenAid Conversations" at the bottom of the page, then select "View all topics". There is a forum just for Stand Mixers. You can also try this address: forum.kitchenaid.com. You will find instructional videos and information on model numbers, accessories, features, adjustments, etc. There are user tips and recipes too. You must sign up for the forums to submit a question.
Is a standard model like the Artisan all I need?
The Artisan is good for basic mixing jobs (light bread doughs, single batches, etc). It is also easier to move around and store in a cabinet due to its size compared to a pro model. So, if you don't plan on doing any mixing beyond the basics in single batches and or need something compact that can be more easily moved around, the Artisan may be a good choice.

Why Go Pro?

The pro models have bigger motors, all-steel gears, and a more durable build that can handle large (double +) batches, heavy bread doughs, and certain attachments that could cause non-pro models to bog down and overheat while mixing or strip their plastic gears. The PowerKnead(tm) spiral dough hook is not recommended for non-pro models. The "Heavy Duty" features of the pro models do add some extra weight and noise. The pro models are bowl-lift which means the bowl moves up and down, but the mix head is fixed. This can be an advantage if you leave the mixer on the counter under a cabinet. The mixer can be operated from where you place it. A tilt-head may not have enough clearance when tilted up, and it might be more difficult to operate without moving the mixer.
What's the difference? Pro HD, Pro 5+ and Pro 600
The differece between the KG25 (Professional HD) and the similar KV25 (Professional 5 Plus Series), is basically just the mixing bowl design. The KG25 has a narrower and taller bowl then the KV25. The KV25 has the newer wide bowl design which is the same width as the 6qt bowl on the Pro 600 just not as deep. Other then that, there is not much difference. The Pro 600 is the Pro 5+ with a bigger motor and bowl. The Pro 600 and Pro 5 plus can even share bowls. They all share internal parts, so they should be equal as far as build quality. For more parts info, you can go to PartSelect and lookup Whirpool model KG25H-4 (Kitchenaid is a division of Whirlpool). Many of the parts are cross referenced as the same parts for the 5 plus, Pro HD and Pro 600. The site also provides the service schematics.
Personal Choice
I originally ordered the RKG25H0XWH, but I then decided on the Factory-Reconditioned KitchenAid RKV25G0XWW Professional 5 Plus Bowl Lift Stand Mixer, White on White for an extra $40. Basically I chose the KV25 for the wider bowl, a little broader selection of attachments, and the ability to use the 6qt bowl from the Pro 600. KA has released a 3qt bowl and whip combo(KN3CW)that fits the KG25/KV25/Pro600 - Note: this item is currently only available through William Sonoma. When I got mine I had to ask for it. There was no display in the store. Do a search for "combi" to find it on the website. The KG25 CAN NOT use the 5 or 6 quart bowls that fit the KV25 and Pro600.

(More customer reviews)So excited to use these new attachments. Easy enough in concept, but once I got the cone attached to the shaft, I cannot get them apart! So, I tried ONE. I am single woman so no strong man around to help me get it apart. Can't wait to use the others. I have sprayed them all with Pam now so I HOPE to not have that problem again...once I can get the one piece apart.

KitchenAid PRO 500 Series 5-Quart Mixers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This mixer is absolutely fantastic! The lift mixer is so much better than the stand style mixers in that the stand mixers get worn out and the bowl tends to jump around. I used to work with a stand style mixer and I would have to put all of my weight on the bowl while I was mixing stuff to keep the bowl from flying out into the kitchen! The motor is super powerful and I am very pleased with it. Since I started making everything we eat from scratch it is nice to have this great mixer to save me the labor of hand mixing stiff doughs and such. I noticed other people had problems with it. One person wrote that the bowl didn't stay in place at all, it needs to be snapped in, if you look at the back on the mixer you'll see a strip of metal where the bowl slides into, on the bowl where it meets the mixer is a metal nub, that's where it is supposed to snap in. They also said that they put the attachments in the dishwasher and they changed color. The instructions say to hand wash them ONLY!!!
It was an absolute pleasure just opening the box up that it came in. It came just as the seller described, brand new and shiny red. I look forward to years of use and everyday I admire it in my kitchen!

KitchenAid Artisan Custom Metallic Series 5-Quart Mixer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Only a true Kitchen Aid mixer fan would buy so many of these. I started out over twenty years ago with a cream one, traded, then got the 5 qt industrial gray and gave it to my sister, then a black 5 qt which my husband gave to a friend because he felt we didn't need two, and my favorite, this one. I also gave a cobalt blue 5 qt to my brother in law although he rarely cooks and often works in Belgium and Japan; and a bright red one for another friend. I sold commercial restaurant equipment for 17 years and their products were essential to our business so I write from more than personal experience.
For my home with cherry cupboards the rich copper mixer earns a place on my counter. This is a hard working and beautiful companion in the kitchen especially if you can't afford the space or price of its larger model. I will be getting the new sweep batter paddle for it next since I already have grinders, juicers and every other attachment.
Just remember these are very heavy and should go on the counter rather than on a shelf or in the garage. Use the paddle for mixing heavy batters and the dough hook for bread. Don't get stuck using just the wire whisk for everything. I keep all the paddles in the bowl.

KitchenAid Professional 5 Plus Series Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received this mixer as a gift, and honestly, it is so great that I almost feel guilty I don't use it every day. I have heard good things about the reliability of Kitchen Aid mixers, and this one is far more powerful than what I actually need it to do.
One especially great thing is the slow-start feature--I do a lot of cake batter and icings, and it's nice to avoid getting flour all over the cabinets after each round of mixing. It mixes very thoroughly, although I was initially suspicious since the bowl doesn't rotate. You do have to stop and scrape the bowl, as with any mixer.
The machine is also incredibly quiet--it makes less noise than the microwave does. I like the fact that the bowl and white attachments are dishwasher safe, too. It might seem trivial, but I also like the styling of the wider bowl that comes standard with this model, instead of the narrower one that comes with the Artisan.
At first I thought the bowl-lift thing might be uncomfortable to use, since I'm used to tilt-head stand mixers. The bowl has two tabs with holes that fit on either side of the mixer, plus a metal nub that rests in a slot at the back. Once those three points are secure, you rotate the lever to lift the bowl to mixing position, and it's very stable.
I've only found two minor inconveniences with this machine. First, it's pretty tall, so it won't fit on the counter underneath my cabinets--I have to move it back and forth from another shelf to use it, and it's heavy. Second, when you're done mixing and lower the bowl, it's hard to scrape all the stuff off the beater because you can't get a good angle. So you have to detach the beater and let it fall into the bowl and when the bowl is off the mixer you can scrape everything out. Thinner stuff like cake batter wouldn't be a problem, but for frosting or mashed potatoes, a lot of stuff is left on the beater. This is not a big deal--just a different thing to get used to after a tilt-head mixer.
I have the cobalt blue model, and I hesitated because I thought it might be too "loud," but it's beautiful and I'm so glad I got this one.
I'm not a professional baker, but I use my mixer frequently, and I'm delighted to have something that looks great and works so well.

Hamilton Beach 63220 Eclectrics All-Metal 12-Speed Stand Mixer, Sterling Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was a little skeptical buying a non-KitchenAid mixer, since they seem to be the mixer that every chef has. However, I really liked the look of this one, and it's less expensive, and it has a 3-year warranty as opposed to a 1-year, so I took my chances. Unlike the reviewer before me, I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled it out of the box. It was slightly bigger than I expected (bulkier than our KitchenAid Artisan), but it can still fit under the cabinets even when the head is lifted, and the finish is beautiful. It looks like brushed metal, but it has a glossy coat to make it smooth. The mixer seems very well-made. I had received a KitchenAid commercial style mixer previously as a gift and returned it, because the quality seemed really poor (the finish had numerous scratches and unfinished areas of metal) and it was really big and loud. I was amazed at how quiet the Hamilton Beach mixer was. It's quieter than our Artisan mixer - you can barely hear it at all when it's on lower speeds. I made a batch of cookies and it mixed up fine. I didn't have to scrape the sides any more than with the KitchenAid. One complaint I have is that the bowl feels pretty cheap and doesn't lock as securely as the KitchenAid, and I don't know if any other bowl will fit in it. I've only used the beater attachment so far, but I'm impressed with it. The white coating on it feels really nice and smooth - I was expecting plastic from the picture, but it's actually sturdy metal covered with some kind of glossy enamel. I'm still getting used to the quick-release button in the back as opposed to the lock on the side of the KitchenAid, but I think once I get used to it, it will make things quicker and easier. I was worried I'd regret going with a company I wasn't too familiar with instead of KitchenAid, but I don't regret it at all. It's gorgeous!

KitchenAid Burnished Aluminum C-Dough Hook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I first bought my Kitchenaid mixer the paddle attachment was getting the most use, but now that I have moved into breadmaking the Dough Hook gets a lot of use. What I love about the dough hook is that it makes kneeding all textures of dough easy. Whether I'm using it to knead a lighter airy-er dough or a stiffer whole wheat dough this hook does a great job. It makes light work of making dough and is also great when making seitan and other gluten-based meat substitutes. Though I sometimes appreciate the effort of kneading dough by hand I feel little need to to do it much anymore since this hook perfectly develops the gluten and creates evenly mixed, elastic dough. Highly recommended for anyone who often makes homemade bread dough.

KitchenAid K45SBWH Bowl for Pivot Head Stand Mixer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having an extra bowl (or two) is a good thing. So many recipes call for beaten egg yolks and whipped egg whites to be folded together. Without two bowls you have to take the time to pour the one you whip first into another bowl, clean the Kitchenaid bowl, and then whip the next ingredient.
I often make a couple of batches of bread at once. The extra bowl allows me to mix the batches of bread and leave them rise right in the Kitchenaid bowls.
Some cakes have a separate filling and a frosting. Two bowls makes that "a piece if cake."
The handle is especially good when the bowl is wet or greasy.
I cook a lot. The extra bowl I have is well worth the price. I'll be buying another (3rd bowl) soon.

KitchenAid KM25G0XWH Commercial Series 5-Quart Stand Mixer, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Purchased this mixer to replace an older one at my workplace. Seems to be every bit as good as the one it replaced, but really the true test comes in time after years of abuse in a professional kitchen. Initial quality is on par with other KitchenAid mixers.

The commercial 5 series stand mixer features an all-metal construction with a direct drive, and all steel gear transmission. The 5-quart stand mixer features a 450-watt motor for handling tough mixing jobs. The mixer can effectively mix up to 11 cups of all-purpose flour, and churn through double batches of bread dough with the included burnished power knead spiral hook, which replicates hand kneading with a forceful punching and rolling action. An electronic speed sensor helps maintain a consistent mixing speed, even when adding ingredients. The built in motor protection will shut the mixer off when overload is sensed to protect the motor. The mixer includes a 5-quart-capacity stainless-steel mixing bowl with handle, as well as a professional wire whip, a burnished flat beater, and a spiral dough hook. The unit's professional bowl-lift design raises the bowl into the mixing position, and its solid, truly seamless one-piece motor head design cleans easily.

KitchenAid Wire Whip Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)FINALLY! If you bought the K4SSWH Kitchen Aid with the bowl lift from Wal-Mart's black Friday sale, this is the wire whip you want. Strangely, the K4SSWH advertises as a 4.5 Qt bowl yet needs a 5 Qt attachment. Go figure. Don't make the same mistake I did and get the 4.5 Qt Wire whip, because it won't fit. This one, however, fits like a glove.
