KitchenAid draws raves for performance and longevity, with reviews calling its stand mixers “workhorses” that last decades and elevate baking, meal prep, and pasta-making—yet they also flag real drawbacks. Many praise the powerful, versatile attachments, sleek design, and easy cleaning, while critiques cite heavy, bulky ergonomics, noise, occasional poor bowl reach/mixing at the bottom, hand-mixer cleaning hassles, and inconsistent durability for certain large appliances and accessories.

    Same power with head-tilt model and bowl-lift models

  • I bought myself a Kitchen Aid Stand mixer last October for my birthday. I knew I would use it a lot but I use it more than I thought I would. I don't know how I lived without one for so long.

  • I have had my stand mixer for 10 plus years. It is a 6 quart with three attachments. It’s easy to clean and mixes better than any type of hand mixer.

  • I’m a real fan of kitchen aid. To be honest I’m a new user of this fantastic device and I don’t understand how I lived without this device. It’s classic, stunning and makes its work in baking process properly

  • TERRIBLE… TERRIBLE… TERRIBLE LARGE KITCHEN AID APPLIANCES! BUY GE!! Mixer is top of the line but all other Appliances are CRAP! Highly encourage NOT to buy Kitchenaid large appliances. Can’t get anyone to service under warranty. They only have a few “ Authorized Techinisions” I have to wait 2 weeks just for them to diagnose what the problem is and then if I need a part or new oven it will take another 2 weeks. SERVICEIS TERRIBLE AND APPLIANCES NOT RELIABLE My unit has been serviced 4 times in less than 2 years!! DO NOT BUY KITCHEN AID LARGE APPLIANCES….GO WITH GE!!

    NO
  • I got my first Kitchaid stand mixer about 16 yrs ago. It is still going strong. I use it at least 3-5 times weekly as I am a baker. Highly recommend this product!

    Very loyal customer!
  • I love this brand, the products have great quality.

  • It’s a little too heavy but it always works top notch!!

    None
  • Please save your $$ don’t waste it on any new kitchen aid products. Worst customer service, every appliance since 2020 has broken at 2 year mark… warranty is only 1 year. Repairs cost $700 or more!! They offer you a 20% discount on purchasing a new product.. like someone would want any of their products after this experience. 5 appliances since 2020 all but 1 needed repairs within 2–3 years. Not wear and tear issues. Water lines being misaligned, chips malfunctioning etc.

  • I have had one bad scale purchased from them, however it also purchased replacement washing machine coupling which was sufficient for my needs

  • I love my kitchen aid mixer. I love that it has multiple attachments so you can use it for other things besides mixing. I wish it wasn’t quite so heavy but it is definitely durable.

  • My mixer is amazing, it can handle a wide range of meal prep choices. Love it!

  • I love how much easier my stand mixer makes baking favorite desserts for my family. It is also great for other tasks like shredding deboned chicken, mashing potatoes and kneading bread dough. SO easy to use and clean up is a breeze! I do wish the bowl had a handle. I think that the larger size has a handle but the slightly smaller Classic model that I have unfortunately does not have a handle.

  • I love the versatility of the standing mixer. There are so many attachments which make it easy to have one machine that does almost everything. I use them for all my home organizing clients to cut down on clutter. Also love the colors and bowl options.

  • Pricey but worth the money as you won’t need another one and it gets used all the time. Downside…it’s heavy so I leave it on the counter and I wouldn’t recommend spending money on the attachments.

  • This is a heavy duty machine that goes the mile and then some. It delivers every single time and is dependable as you could hope for. This is a purchase that will last a lifetime.

  • I just love my KitchenAid mixer. There isn't anything it can't do. It makes it easy to make bread and pasta dough. It does so many things that I can't even begin to tell you. It is a wonderful mixer and it can mix whatever you need to have mixed. This mixer is a wonderful and sturdy mixer. You only need to buy one . It is a once in a lifetime investment. They are a little pricey but you will only buy one.

  • I have a KitchenAid mixer and it works great. It is significantly more powerful than my last one and the paddle attachment does a great job at mixing things even at the bottom of the bowl which my last didn't. It takes a lot of the manual work out of the process. I also love the range of colors, I have one of the light blue/aqua colored ones. I have no desire to use any other brand of mixer.

  • As a baker the kitchenaid mixers make baking so much easier and faster!!
