A Great Asset to Any Kitchen
I've had my KitchenAid mixer for a couple of years and can say that it has been reliable and a great asset to the kitchen. I've had a stand mixer for years, I had another brand before my KitchenAid, and I can say they make all the difference in the world. Hands-free mixing is wonderful. The KitchenAid mixer is a beautiful mixer that looks great in anyone's kitchen since it comes in a vast array of colors. It's powerful enough to make bread dough and huge batches of the thickest cookie dough and never gets bogged down. It whips egg whites in tall peaks effortlessly. I deducted one star because it can be aggravating to scrape the bowl during mixing. The deep, narrow bowl means you have to turn the mixer off and lift the head to scrape around the bowl. And be sure to scrape around the bottom because the shape of the bottom of the bowl can leave some unmixed batter if you don't scrape. There is a screw that can be adjusted if you are experiencing too much unmixed batter on the bottom. If you do any mixing or whipping more than just occasionally then you are sure to love a KitchenAid mixer. If you make a cake from a mix just a few times a year then a hand mixer would be a more affordable choice but for anything more, you'll love a stand mixer and of course, KitchenAid has become the standard for stand mixers in the everyday kitchen. Be sure to check out all the different colors that you may be interested in, they usually run different prices and you may find a great deal on just a certain color. If you are a serious baker, you NEED a KitchenAid! I received my KitchenAid stand mixer as a housewarming gift three years ago and I don't think a week goes by when I don't use it. I use it for EVERYTHING, but it has especially helped me to improve my baking. It's a lot easier to make egg whites or fluff up a cheesecake when you're not trying to balance a hand mixer in one hand and a cookbook in the other! This mixer is sturdy. The bowls and mixer blades are easy to remove but don't feel flimsy. The bowl is easy to handle, and everything cleans up easily. I would recommend ordering another bowl, because if you use your mixer as much as I do, you'll always want to have a clean bowl at the ready! excellent product The wife loves her new mixer.It was a surprise birthday present.Not only did she get something she really wanted,but I get to feast on all the things she wants to try with it.So far everything is good. My red, red Kitchenaid I finally, after many years of waiting, took the plunge and ordered a Kitchenaid mixer. I read multiple reviews and decided on a 5 qt Artisan. I was delighted to find a great deal on Amazon with a rebate also. It was free shipping and arrived before the expected delivery date. I love the mixer and of course wished I had ordered one years ago. Amazon did a fabulous job making it affordable, easy to order and had free delivery for a product in great shape. I highly recommend Amazon and Kitchenaid. For daughter I have not tested this mixer its a Christmas gift for my daughter. I had purchased this same model 3 years ago for myself and love it. Does everything it says it will and more. Works perfectly. | |
