My KitchenAid Stand Mixer Review
The KitchenAid Stand Mixer is probably my favorite appliance in my kitchen!
There's no doubt about it, KitchenAid makes AMAZING stand mixers that are made to last a long, long time. Plus, all the colors available are just plain FUN.
See all available colors here.
Let's take an in-depth look at this stand mixer from KitchenAid, watch some video reviews, talk about colors and prices, get some KitchenAid Stand Mixer Recipes, and talk best prices (yep, you guessed it - there is most likely a kitchenaid stand mixer sale going on somewhere online at any given time!)
I picked the KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer because it has amazing reviews (read them all here) and is perfect for my cooking needs. We'll also talk about a KitchenAid Professional Stand Mixer, too, in case that is what you need.
OK - let's dig into a KitchenAid Stand Mixer!!
Quick Question
So, may I ask.....
The Features
This KitchenAid mixer is no joke! It's a serious appliance boasting 325 watts of mixing power!
That kind of power makes creaming butter, whipping cream, and kneading dough a breeze (way better than doing it by hand, right!?!)
Want to make a batch of cookies! Easy-peasy! Even large batches are a breeze!
What's really amazing about this stand mixer is that the beater moves to 67 different points around the mixing bowl. This guarantees totally thorough mixing every time you use it.
There are also 10 different speeds so you're never without the perfect speed for your mixing needs.
What About Clean Up?
If it's one thing I HATE about a kitchen appliance, it's when it is a nightmare to clean!
These stand mixers ares super easy to clean. The mixer head just tilts back so you can easily remove the bowl and beaters and/or attachments.
Oh, and speaking of attachments....
KitchenAid Stand Mixer Attachments
Now, let's first talk about what attachments come with this stand mixer -
This model comes with 3 attachments (shown on the right)
All of these attachments hook on and off with a simple twist.
Other KitchenAid Stand Mixer Attachments
Now here's the beauty of this stand mixer....
There are a LOT of other specialty attachments you can get!
Want to make home-made pasta? There's a pasta attachment for a KitchenAid Stand Mixer for that!
Food grinders, sliver/shredders, ice cream makers, sausage stuffers, grain mills, and on and on.
The possibilities and options with this stand mixer are endless! (however, it still won't do your dishes or fold your laundry....lol!)
Want to make juice! Yep, there's an attachment for that too!
See all specialty attachments available here.
Impressive!
"This mixer is as sturdy as a tank, and you can hear the quality as it mixes. Although I had previously purchased a KitchenAid mixer for my daughter as a gift, I would never have splurged on one for myself.
I am so happy my husband thought I was worth it!"
