  • I have the standard kitchen aid mixer. I use it mostly to make sourdough bread 2-3x/month. I'll also make pizza dough and other sourdough products with it. It makes the process so easy. I have enough counter space that I can leave it out, which helps me use it without the excuse of it's too hard to get out... I do use it for other baking, but not as often. It will easily mix up cake batter or cookie batter. I like that you can use the whisk attachment and whip egg whites to make moist cakes. Someday I'd like to try some of the attachments like the pasta maker.

  • KitchenAid pasta maker attachments

    We have loved our kitchenAid mixer for years so recently I purchased attachments to make pasta. I was very surprised by the ease of the project. The whole family joined in. Looking forward to more pasta making!

  • I absolutely love my stand-alone mixer! It's lasted me many years and it still looks and works like brand new. I mostly use the main mixing attachment, but I do like that it comes with multiple attachments for a wider range of uses. The mixing bowl is easy to clean and stuff rarely gets stuck to it! I would recommend these mixers to anyone - highly recommend!

  • I love my kitchen aid mixer! It was given to me as a gift and I use it to make cookies for me and recipes for the pups! I purchased the pasta maker attachment and that’s wonderful as well. Definitely recommend this product, just remember to hand wash the bowl and attachments

  • Fantastic products!

    All of my KitchenAid products have lasted me for years without any issues. These products have also been used across generations with my mom and grandma; passing them down to the younger generations.

  • I'm obsessed with my KitchenAid! I'm not a huge baker but I love the Ice Cream attachment. Truly makes the tastiest sweet treats in such a short amount of time!

  • Excellent products. Durable and lasts the test of time. Love the color selection. Have great attachments for a variety of uses to include making bread, pasta, and even sausage.

  • With my KitchenAid mixer by my side, I've experienced countless moments of delight, from cooking up holiday traditions to passing on my passion for baking to my children and grandchildren. It's a vital part of my kitchen that never fails to bring a smile to my face.

  • I love it! I bought it because I wanted to start with the hobby of cooking, I especially wanted to prepare pizza and desserts. It is very resistant when I prepare a lot of dough, it mixes things very well and does its job properly. I could only comment that it starts to heat up when it has been working for a long time but without any problem. I totally recommend it. :)

  • Great replacement for my old unit, this model KOCE500ESS20 Built-in Combo Oven with convection in both the oven and microwave, was great this thanksgiving for cooking multiple items for the family dinner. The convection accessory was so easy to use and quick. Highly recommend.

  • It is brilliant for mixing and whipping. I have the juice attachment and it is awkward. A stand alone juicer is easier to use. But for what I use it for, it is perfect!

  • I absolutely love my mixer. I have made so many delicious meals and desserts with it.

  • Kitchen aid is timeless but $400 for a mixer is just crazy to me. Especially while we are all struggling to buy groceries.. idk an off brand mixer is cheaper and does the same thing truthfully.. do we need to pay an additional $200 for the kitchen aid name ?

  • My KitchenAid Heavy Duty and Classic stand mixers have managed to survive 3 cross-country moves and has been used heavily for over 10 years and still going strong! I stick to the basics with the whisk, paddle, and dough hook attachments and haven't gotten fancy with the pasta roller, etc. but it absolutely does the job and requires no cooldown time even for back to back batches of holiday cookies getting cranked out hundreds at a time. It's still here and going strong for a reason!

  • Never buy directly from KitchenAid. I’ve been waiting for a refund for two months and still haven’t received it. All customer support requests are a waste of time and full of empty promises. Today I contacted them again, and they claimed they had mailed paper checks almost three weeks ago — but that’s not true. I’ve been checking my mail carefully and haven’t received anything. Then they just ended the chat without any explanation. I’m not saying their products are bad, but returning them is impossible. And if their customer service is this bad at the purchase stage, imagine what it would be like if your appliance breaks. I simply won’t deal with a company like this again

  • A little on the pricey side but in today's world I have learned that you get what you pay for (for the most part at least). If you are looking for a high quality kitchen product that will last, KitchenAid is the way to go. Love thier stand mixer (my mom bought hers used and it lasted for years despite the fact that it was used before we even got it).

  • KitchenAid makes the best, long-lasting, and well-made kitchen appliances. Their stand-mixers are top of the line and make baking a breeze. These products should be on everyone's wedding registry. You can't go wrong with KitchenAid mixers. So many beautiful colors to pick from too. I have a cinnamon red one and I love it.

  • Not totally sure what I did without my KitchenAid that we go last Christmas! Like, everything must have been so clunky and poortly mixed. The KitchenAid has gotten easier to use (takes a sec to figure it out and decide if it's worth it to lug it out of the cabinet) and it also makes me feel so professional in the kitchen. Classic look.

  • Standing mixer is great, super heavy and a bit tricky to get the bowl in and out but it lasts forever. I would recommend getting a pad that it can slide on if its going to stay on your counter top
