Kitchen aid mixer
This is my second Kitchen Aid mixer I have purchased. My first kitchen aid mixer lasted 28 years. Yes. That is the truth. That is why I purchased another one just like my first one. Head tilt is the best. I'm a hobby baker and I bake 2 to 3 times a week. The kitchen aid mixer is strong enough to mix bread dough and fast enough to whip up a creamy dessert.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clearly the best for the price, and more than adequate even for heavy dough
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2015

KitchenAid has three main models of stand mixer: the 4.5 quart Classic tilt-head ($188, or $226 for the slightly more powerful "Plus"), the 5 quart Artisan tilt-head ($298), and the 6 quart fixed-head Professional ($359). The prices are Amazon prices; MSRP is considerably more, and B&M retailers have trouble matching Amazon even with Black Friday sales.

I'm sure the bigger mixers are, in some ways, better, but don't underestimate what an enormous step up even the lowly Classic model is from a hand mixer or plastic food processor. This is a very solid product. And most of us, while we value the convenience of a big stand mixer when baking things, don't exactly use these things every day. Even if you think that at some point in the future, you have reason to get a bigger one, remember that the bigger ones take up a lot more space, and these things actually have decent resale value, so if you want to upgrade later, your previous investment isn't necessarily lost altogether.

I bought this because I'd been baking Dutch-style appeltaart a number of times, and people really like it, but it was a lot of work to make. At some point, I looked into how to make it faster, and I ended up getting a $20 peeler/corer/slicer for the apples, as well as this mixer. Appeltaart involves a heavy shortbread pasty crust (what the Germans call "Mürbeteig"), which is a challenge for a lot of kitchen equipment and traditionally has to be kneaded by hand, so if I was going to get a device to make it for me, it would have to be a pretty heavy-duty one.

The dough has a 3:2:1 flour/butter/sugar ratio (by weight) and just a little bit of egg. Usually, I'd cut the butter into small pieces to make it easier, but to put this mixer to the test, I just dumped in the ingredients and pulled the delightfully solid-feeling lever to the slowest speed. It wasn't a small amount of dough either; the bowl was filled pretty much to capacity and a little bit of flour spilled out initially. At first, it looked like the dough was never going to come together, but I just left it running for a few minutes and before long I had a perfect dough. I had worried that maybe the dough would be too crumbly because the mixer can't do the typical squeezing motion that you do by hand to really make the dough cohesive, but it turns out that once everything is thoroughly mixed, it only takes 10 seconds of hand-kneading to make the dough really come together. The hard work is really in the mixing and the mixer does it extremely well.

It's clear that these things have been on the market for a long time and a lot of minor issues have been worked out over the years. The shape of the attachments and the shape of the bowl, for instance, are well matched to each other so the thing will beat even a single egg or a small amount of whipping cream just fine, and doughs don't stick to the bowl when using the paddle attachment. The bayonet type bowl attachment really locks the bowl in place without making it hard to remove, things don't splatter into spots that are hard to clean, etc.

Two nit-picks:

1. The mixer works if you don't lock it in the down position. I can't imagine this is good for the internal gearing, though then again the head is heavy enough that it might not matter very much. Still, it would be good to have some sort of interlock so that it didn't operate when you don't lock it down. Meanwhile, just remember to double-check that you have it locked down before turning it on.

2. The whisk attachment oxidizes a lot when you put it in a dishwasher, especially if you use a copious amount of strong detergent (e.g. Cascade brand). This leaves a black powdery residue that rubs off easily. I don't think it's particularly dangerous if it were to end up in your food in small quantities, but it has a metallic smell and taste and it's unsightly. I'm sure it says somewhere in the manual that the whisk attachment shouldn't go in the dishwasher, but it would be nice if the manufacturer could either make it so this doesn't happen in the first place, or alternatively attached a label to the thing with a warning so you can't miss it.

I will be cleaning up breakfast. Throw an egg and some milk in the mixer bowl. Preheat the toaster oven. Dry the dishes and when I'm putting them away, grab some blueberry muffin mix, cornbread mix, brownie mix. Put it in the mixer with the egg and milk. Turn on mixer. Wipe counters. Turn off mixer. Scoop into to a pan. Clean silicone spatula, mixer attachment and bowl. Oven beeps saying it is preheated. Wait for cornbread, brownies, blueberry muffins, whatever...to be ready for tomorrow. IS SO FAST. So easy. Make breads sooper easy also but my love is cornbread, muffins and brownies while doing breakfast dishes.

We originally had a different, cheaper mixer that broke on us pretty quickly. We waited awhile to buy a new one as we didn't know if it would be worth the money spent. Let me tell you, this is 100000% worth the money. My partner loves to make homemade breads and cakes and other yummy foods and this mixer has made it soooo much faster and easier for them. It's sturdy and well built and hopefully will last us for years to come. :)

What can I say other than I love using this mixer. I have always wanted one. This thing is sturdy and weighs a bit. Even with thick cookie dough it won't slow down. I used to use an electric hand mixer that always sounded like it was going to give up making Toll House cookies.
One recommendation is to get the mixing paddle with the side scraper. Not that is absolutely needs but it will save time by not having to stop and lift the mixer top to get to the sides of the bowl to scrape thing into the batter your mixing with a rubber spatula. That is going to be the next accessory I add to it.

I am sure the newer versions of the Kitxhen Aid mixer are wonderful. But this mixer has been around forever for a reason. It’s great at what it does. Plenty of power, tons of optional accessories. Quite frankly as great as this product is, I don’t use it enough to justify buying the newer model. I can almost guarantee you can accomplish anything in this mixer that you can in the newer versions. Quick set up, all attachments are useful, looking forward to the pizza dough recipes and using portable mixers less!

This thing is FANTASTIC. If you do baking of any kind, this thing will save you a lot of time and effort. Some people said this wouldn’t be able to handle a tougher bagel dough… it does, while also making a loaf of bread and 2-4 dozen cookies.

But it doesn’t stop there, there’s attachments too! Truly an invaluable tool in the kitchen. Worth every cent.
