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 spiral-bound guide with instructions, mixing tips, and 67 recipes, from crispy waffles to a caramel walnut banana torte. --Betsy Danheim

 I've had mine for 20 years October 4, 2008
D. WELDON (Carnation, WA USA)
I bought this mixer 20 years ago when my children were little and there was lots of baking to do. I am not a bread baker so I can not comment on that aspect. This mixer has never failed me. I've used it for everything from fruitcakes and double recipes of cookie dough to simple cakemixes and it has always done an excellent job. The weight of the mixer keeps it in place when you're mixing a heavy load. I'm sure it will still be working beautifully when they haul me off to the home. Buy it, you'll enjoy it the rest of your life.

I bought this mixer 10 years ago at a garage sale for 40 bucks and thought I had died and gone to heaven! Seriously I had wanted a KitchenAid mixer for years but the ole budget just could not afford a new model.
It's still going strong.
We use it on a daily basis and the family rule is that if you leave the mixer a mess you invoke mom's wrath! All kidding aside it's a workhorse and worth ten times what I paid for it.
The whisk attachment is great for beating egg whites and whipping cream (put the bowl and whisk in the freezer for 15 minutes prior to whipping). The motor is so strong that if you start out whipping cream on a fast setting you will end up with cream all over the walls and yourself!
I use the dough attachment and do not notice any problem with the motor. I will say that you do need to watch when using it to knead dough as it will move across the counter and end up on the floor.
I love the fact that the bowl and mixer head are designed so that I do not need to be constantly scraping the bowl.
If you enjoy making your own sausage get the grinder attachment. You can experiment with your own sausage seasonings and also add less fat than what you can find in store bought sausage.
It's telling that there's already been a heated discussion as to who gets the mixer when I leave his earthly abode. I've already deeded it to my daughter and I have no doubt she will use it for many years herself. She's kept us in cookies on a daily basis and deserves her reward for her efforts.

The Only Mixer You'll Ever Need July 26, 2008

The KitchenAid Classic 4 1/2 Quart Stand Mixer
This is the only mixer you'll ever need to buy. I'm not kidding.
My husband bought me a regular mixer for Christmas in 1980. Within a few months, I had a spoon stuck in between the beaters and the mixer was ruined.
The next Christmas, 1982, he bought me a KitchenAid Mixer. The only thing that didn't hold up was the egg beater. I have a regular beater, and a dough hook.
I have made bread, cakes, mashed potatoes and you name it with this mixer. I have had my KitchenAid for 26 years, and taught four children to cook. I am now using the mixer to make cakes with my grandchildren.
I have never had any maintenance done on my mixer. It still works as well as it did the day I took it out of the box.
I have recommended this mixer to everyone.
If you buy this mixer first, you will never need to buy another mixer.
You couldn't jam a spoon into the beater, if you tried.

Received the product in a timely manner, and am more than satisfied by the operation of the mixer. Seems to perform with all the power that the average homeowner wouold ever need. Performs as advertised.
