Amazon.com Review KitchenAid's stand mixer is a substantial piece of equipment: 250 watts of mixing power make child's play of creaming butter, kneading dough, and whipping cream. The kid in you will appreciate how quick and easy it is to mix up a batch of cookie dough; the 4-1/2-quart bowl can hold up to 8 cups of flour, which translates into as many as 192 sweet treats. This model comes with three attachments: a flat beater for making batter, meat loaf, and all textures in-between; a wire whip for egg whites, mayonnaise, and more air-infused creations; and a hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs. All three are solid in construction and easily secured to the beater shaft with a simple twist; untwisting them is a bit trickier because the attachment stems are short and can be hard to grasp, especially if they get the least bit greasy. The bowl itself locks tight to the base. Standing 14 inches high, jutting out a foot, and weighing more than a grown woman's bowling ball, this stand mixer isn't the sort of appliance you'll wipe down and put away. Better to find a square foot of free counter space for easy access; besides, this machine is as pretty as it is rugged--you'll want to show it off. To complete the package, KitchenAid includes a bonus spatula and a spiral-bound guide with instructions, mixing tips, and 67 recipes, from crispy waffles to a caramel walnut banana torte. --Betsy Danheim

Polk I finally decided to take the plunge and buy when the price fell to $ 115 and shipped free. "You can not beat, acting in this mixer!" The same mixer is heavy and not exactly something you can easily get in and out of the kitchen counter and store it in each enclosure. Check the size and make sure you have room for ... or to make room as I had to do. When using the mixer really does not have to scrape the sides of the bowl well. Good stuff ... there is not much room to do it! The bowl and mixer unit (whisk, dough hook and whisk are all included) and lock into place easily and instructions are very simple and need to try different recipes. Use of this mixer makes me realize what I missed. There is power, and all equipment is available for versatility. The design is superior and the price is right said: Buy this! 27 of 28 people found this review helpful. Why pay more? Theodore O'Neill It's built like a tank, could last forever and cost $ 119 (well it did when I wrote this in 2005). Other than a shovel or a hammer, I can not think of anything else this cheap I could convey to my children. Sure, you can pay more to get this with a larger bowl or a designer suit, but why bother? Once you start using this mixer, you'll wonder how you did without it. It is an excellent gift for anyone who cooks. 26 of 27 people found this review helpful. A very versatile device Through milss This is undoubtedly one of the best things I ever bought in my entire life. The price is unbeatable. With the Amazon promotional code, was $ 114 and free shipping. You can not beat it. Now I see they are offering it for only $ 99! It's a no brainer! Delivered and received on time, very well protected. You need to have a space to put the mixer, since it's really heavy and not too easy to take on and off constantly The instructions book is very clear. Once I had the mixer with me, I used it right away. The results have been more than satisfactory. The speeds work beautifully with any kind of mix, the three attachments are the most important to have, from my point of view. Maybe other useful attachment would be the pouring shield. Usually we use it to mix batches of cookies, cakes and pies. What's wonderful is the mixing bowl has a coating that allows al mixes to slip without scraping the bowl. Certainly the bowl could use a handle, but it's not really necessary if you know how to work with your hands. Highly recommended. See all 121 customer reviews....
