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

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.

I had a roommate who owned one of these back in the 90s. I fell in love with it then, but didn't break down and buy my own until two years ago. I wish I'd spent the money five years sooner. If you bake, it's essential. And the ice cream maker attachment has opened a whole new world to me. This is the model I have. I might like one of the higher end models even better, but this one does everything I need for now. I use it probably 10 times as much as the Cuisinart.

Didn't understand why a product would still be on your web site for availability when product was already sold.
