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 spiral-bound guide with instructions, mixing tips, and 67 recipes, from crispy waffles to a caramel walnut banana torte. --Betsy Danheim
Kitchen Aid mixer
I am very impressed with the quality of this mixer. When I made homemade cookies, I had to hand mix them. With this mixer, it took all the hard work out of making cookies and it was a joy to bake again. Anyone interested in a mixer, this is the brand to get. I give it 5 stars. It is one of the best kitchen products I have bought!
A Stand Mixer that creates lots of treasured memories
I bought it for my daughter and had to give it to her before Christmas. She and my two grandaughters made lots of cookies, and pasta, and had a blast making memories, we took lots of pictures, measuring, and mixing, and scraping. Great price too.
KitchenAid mixer K45SS Classic
I have seen this mixer it the stores for 9.00/0.00. Got mine at Amazon.com for 9.00 Top of the Line mixer. I have wanted one for years. Now I have one.
Best Mixer Ever
I have had this mixer for over 30 years and it is still working as good as the first day I got it. I purchased 2 for my daughters.
They don't make 'em like they used to
We made the mistake of using the included dough hook to make bread. It didn't make it through the second batch, and while it still works it hasn't been the same since. It's leaked an oily substance ever since, and it's struggling to do some simple mixing jobs. The last time we had it out, the motor started to struggle while whipping egg whites for meringues. It's only 2-3 years old now, but I'll be surprised if we get 5 years use out of it.
