We've been wanting one of these for ages but the price (400.00) had been way too prohibitive, so to get this for less than half was a deal we could not pass up. It's a wonderful addition to our kitchen. It's beautiful and functional. So far we've made cookies and hamburger buns and it's unbelievable how easy this makes the whole baking process. I will actually bake more now.

With 450 watts of power and a 5-quart bowl capacity KitchenAid's Professional 5 Plus stand mixer tackles big jobs. This factory-reconditioned machine prepares food for a crowd and ably handles tough mixes.

I received this mixer yesterday for Christmas from my kids. Then I read the above review and I got a little aprehensive. Today I telephoned this number 1-800-541-6390 to ask about the attachments for this model mixer. She answered several questions and she gave me the numbers of appliance models that are compatible with the K4SS mixer. The wire whip model number is K5AW. The attachments with model numbers KSM500 and K5SS will all fit the K4SS mixer. Hope this helps.

Viking Range White Stand Mixer 7 Qt. Review

Viking Range White Stand Mixer 7 Qt.

The machine died after 3 months. I am just starting to bake and was enjoying it until I taxed the Viking with bread making - not multiple loaves but just one at a time. It died very silently - no smoke or ozone/burnt motor odor - just quietly died while making cream icing with cream cheese and cream. I hit the reverse and it just started to make a gurgling noise and then was no more.
I called the company - not really the company but a repair facility in Detroit and was told the best they could do was to mail me a FedEx slip and I was responsible for boxing the unit and they would repair it.
When I suggested that they send me a box or another motor unit (I would send the current unit back) I was informed that this was not company policy. When I attempted to call Viking and when I asked to speak to corporate customer service I was directed back to the repair facility in Detroit - this happened over and over.
I mentioned that I bought the unit retail on the website they still insisted that they couldn't help me.
Cooks illustrated rated the Kitchen Aid Professional 600 as their number one choice - the Viking did not even make it into the first three best choices - I strongly agree. The Viking is more expensive and the service is lacking. And more importantly the maching is inferior.
I am considering the Hobart or the Kitchen Aid and I will keep the Viking as backup. When you buy a mixer get it from a department store that offers guarantees that include replacement units. I am going to the Sears website now.

One thousand watts of power and planetary mixing action ensure supremely efficient mixing and beating. Not only can this heavy duty stand mixer knead even the toughest whole grain bread dough into submission, it also has a sufficient range of settings, allowing it to tenderly beat a meringue. Locking pop up heads make clean up snap. A special stirring speed helps prevent flour pouf, and liquid splatter during the initial mixing stage. Max speed is engineered for whipping custards, cream, and meringues - in other words when you want to incorporate maximum air. There are numerous attachments available for this unit to increase its multi-tasking capabilities. If you've become a fan of Viking's reliability, quality and style, no doubt this stand mixer would be a most welcome addition to your kitchen.

Hamilton Beach 64695N Power Deluxe 6-Speed Hand/St Review

Hamilton Beach 64695N Power Deluxe 6-Speed Hand/St
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had this set for over a year now and couldn't be more unhappy with it. The mixer does not reach the bottom of the glass bowl so regardless you still have to mix by hand to get all the flour and other ingredients off the bottom of the bowl. The mixer gets bogged down easily and between speeds of 3 and 4 it just stops. There's apparently a short between those speeds but if you giggle the switch it will work again.
The bowl is extremely heavy glass so once you've mixed your ingredients it's very difficult to man-handle the bowl to tilt it to get the ingredients poured in your pans. The beaters come out while mixing. I've pushed and pushed them in but once you lift the head the beaters often stay in the bowl. Not every time but enough that it's aggravating to have to dig your beaters out of wet cake mix.
I don't have a recommendation for something better. I'll keep using this one because I just can't afford another one. But I do recommend you pass on this one and find better luck with another brand.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been doing a lot of research on KitchenAid Mixers. Below is some information I felt may be of use to others trying to decide on a new KitchenAid Mixer.
If you have questions regarding a KitchenAid Mixer or other KitchenAid product, the KitchenAid Forums are a good place to start. The questions are answered by users and KitchenAid Employees. KitchenAid Employees will have "KitchenAid" in front of their name ex. "KitchenAid_Sally"
To find the forums go to the KitchenAid Website, select "Customer Service" at the top, then select "Join KitchenAid Conversations" at the bottom of the page, then select "View all topics". There is a forum just for Stand Mixers. You can also try this address: forum.kitchenaid.com. You will find instructional videos and information on model numbers, accessories, features, adjustments, etc. There are user tips and recipes too. You must sign up for the forums to submit a question.
Is a standard model like the Artisan all I need?
The Artisan is good for basic mixing jobs (light bread doughs, single batches, etc). It is also easier to move around and store in a cabinet due to its size compared to a pro model. So, if you don't plan on doing any mixing beyond the basics in single batches and or need something compact that can be more easily moved around, the Artisan may be a good choice.

Why Go Pro?

The pro models have bigger motors, all-steel gears, and a more durable build that can handle large (double +) batches, heavy bread doughs, and certain attachments that could cause non-pro models to bog down and overheat while mixing or strip their plastic gears. The PowerKnead(tm) spiral dough hook is not recommended for non-pro models. The "Heavy Duty" features of the pro models do add some extra weight and noise. The pro models are bowl-lift which means the bowl moves up and down, but the mix head is fixed. This can be an advantage if you leave the mixer on the counter under a cabinet. The mixer can be operated from where you place it. A tilt-head may not have enough clearance when tilted up, and it might be more difficult to operate without moving the mixer.
What's the difference? Pro HD, Pro 5+ and Pro 600
The differece between the KG25 (Professional HD) and the similar KV25 (Professional 5 Plus Series), is basically just the mixing bowl design. The KG25 has a narrower and taller bowl then the KV25. The KV25 has the newer wide bowl design which is the same width as the 6qt bowl on the Pro 600 just not as deep. Other then that, there is not much difference. The Pro 600 is the Pro 5+ with a bigger motor and bowl. The Pro 600 and Pro 5 plus can even share bowls. They all share internal parts, so they should be equal as far as build quality. For more parts info, you can go to PartSelect and lookup Whirpool model KG25H-4 (Kitchenaid is a division of Whirlpool). Many of the parts are cross referenced as the same parts for the 5 plus, Pro HD and Pro 600. The site also provides the service schematics.
Personal Choice
I originally ordered the RKG25H0XWH, but I then decided on the Factory-Reconditioned KitchenAid RKV25G0XWW Professional 5 Plus Bowl Lift Stand Mixer, White on White for an extra $40. Basically I chose the KV25 for the wider bowl, a little broader selection of attachments, and the ability to use the 6qt bowl from the Pro 600. KA has released a 3qt bowl and whip combo(KN3CW)that fits the KG25/KV25/Pro600 - Note: this item is currently only available through William Sonoma. When I got mine I had to ask for it. There was no display in the store. Do a search for "combi" to find it on the website. The KG25 CAN NOT use the 5 or 6 quart bowls that fit the KV25 and Pro600.

West Bend 12-Speed Stand Mixers with 2 Mixing Bowls Review

West Bend 12-Speed Stand Mixers with 2 Mixing Bowls

(More customer reviews)
I have owned and used several different mixers, including the expensive one which I gave away because I didn't like it at all. Another Famous Brand I owned was so lightweight, it would move around on the counter while in use and would not turn the bowl, therefore, I had to stand there and continously scrape the bowl.
I am only giving the West Bend 41135 four stars because it is not perfect but it does come close! The bowl turns, there is room to add ingredients without stopping the motor, and raising the beaters, it is heavy enough to stay in place, it can be used as a hand mixer, and it has all the speeds anyone could want or need. If the mfg. had just color coded the beaters and the holes they belong in, they could be inserted quickly and easily. But that is no big deal--only a minor thing. I have color coded them myself so now, it is my dream machine! I am a proud and happy owner of this West Bend mixer.

Equipped with a powerful motor and 12 easy-to-set speeds, this convenient stand mixer can handle any mixing task. Knead dough or stir ingredients on the lower speeds, smooth batters or mash potatoes on the medium speeds, and whip cream or prepare frosting on the highest speeds. An electronic sensor detects how large the quantities are and adjusts the speed up or down automatically to accommodate larger or smaller loads. The mixer comes with a 1-1/2-quart and a 4-quart stainless-steel bowl, which rotate on the mixer’s turntable during operation for more even blending. Two heavy-duty dough hooks also come included for making bread, along with two beaters, which, thanks to their large size, leave little batter on the sides of the bowl to scrape down. Other highlights include a two-position bowl rest, a top handle, and a release button that ejects the beaters or hooks. Dishwasher-safe parts make cleanup a snap and a handy mixing guide comes included. The 300-watt stand mixer measures 12-2/5 by 10-4/5 by 14-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

(More customer reviews)
I have this refurbished model in the Imperial Gray. It is a nice-looking addition to my countertop. For most projects, it does an excellent job! HOWEVER, the manual was excessively optimistic in its claims that this mixer can knead two loaves of wheat bread dough! Be aware that the gears are all NYLON, and the motor is plenty strong enough to strip the gears when it lugs down on stiff wheat dough. I have done so THREE TIMES now. Kitchenaid is now marketing a 6-quart "professional" model with all steel gears and a circuit breaker ... If you are going to buy a Kitchenaid mixer for real bread, go the extra mile for the tougher model. ...

KitchenAid K5SSWH Heavy Duty Series 5-Quart Stand Mixer, White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a heavier mixer than the "Artisan" model, and the bowl raises and lowers on a lever rather than the head of the mixer lifting up. If you make heavy breads or a lot of bread for your family, this may be a better choice mixer with the stronger motor.
You can also add a grain grinder to the front of the device--there's a lid that flips up and you insert it into a hole with a positioning pin. The motor then turns the grinder, sausage stuffer or vegetable grater. The grinders work terrific; the vegetable grater/slicer is a variation on those cone slicers and not my favorite attachment. But for a one-stop heavy-duty device that mashes potatoes, kneads bread, whips egg whites, stirs cake batter or grinds wheat flour or rye flour, this can't be beat.

Factory-Reconditioned KitchenAid RKG25H0XER Professional HD 5-Quart Stand Mixer, Empire Red Review

Factory-Reconditioned KitchenAid RKG25H0XER Professional HD 5-Quart Stand Mixer, Empire Red
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Here's a review I wish I had read prior to buying my KitchenAid:
First, the not-so-good: I bought the stand mixer, model number RKG25HOXER. This type of mixer mimics in design what you see in professional bakeries inasmuch as it has a handle on the side of the mixer that you raise in order to bring the bowl to the beater level. This, in my opinion, is the drawback and I would never consider buying this model again. The level of inconvenience is tremendous and annoying. To be specific, it is very difficult to add ingredients with this design. Imagine you are mixing a batter and you must slowly and gradually add flour. You can't fit a 1/4 cup measuring cup within the bowl circumference (which is very small). To add ingredients, you must stop the machine; lower the bowl; add a the ingredient; raise the bowl; and begin the mixing process. You have to do this as many times as you need to add something to your batter. I couldn't imagine that someone had not thought of a solution for this problem, so I began my research. I found that in order to add ingredients, it is recommended that you purchase a special KitchenAid plastic apparatus that fits the lip of the bowl. This apparatus has a spout or chute in which to add things. I believe KitchenAid calls it a splash guard, but I could be wrong. So, add this $20 to the price of your mixer, because you will need to buy it. The apparatus is not the solution as your ingredients stick to the plastic spout/chute (imagine adding an egg, then having to add a bit more flour). The bottom line with this machine is that the design is NOT convenient.
Now, the good: It's a KitchenAid and you will never find a better motor or quality mixer. I adore the durability! What a less pricey brand would struggle to mix, a KitchenAid simply plows through. Doughs, any batter, kneading, you name it; the machine does it. The optional attachments are quality made (graters, grinders). A KitchenAid will do everything short of birthing your children. While I would never recommend the design I ended up with, I could never recommend anything BUT a KitchenAid. I suggest buying the model where the head of the mixer lifts, just like your Mom's did. If I was a rich woman, I would go out today and buy that model design, but alas, I am stuck with what I am stuck with.
Bottom line: Buy a KitchenAid, do not buy anything else. Buy the head-lift design and you will be happy for life. I wish I had known!

Electrolux White Assistent Stand Mixer 8 Qt. Review

Electrolux White Assistent Stand Mixer 8 Qt.
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm prompted to write this after seeing another review that stated that this machine is only good for making bread but not for other mixing tasks. In fact, it will do everything any other stand mixer will do, and it will perform most tasks better than other stand mixers. I use it a couple of times a week to knead bread dough, at which it excels, but I've also made cakes, whipped egg whites, made cookies, and just about anything else you can imagine.
The thing is, as you can see from the picture of the machine, it is different from mixers most Americans are used to. There's a learning curve involved, so you must be prepared for that, or you'll be disappointed. I got the hang of it quickly, within a couple of weeks or so, but after a year I'm still refining my knowledge.
I should point out that Cook's Illustrated magazine, in their November 2005 issue, gave this machine a poor rating. I have to believe that they did not attempt to learn how to use it properly. I also have their top-rated mixer, the KitchenAid Professional 600, which I found very disappointing. It now sits in a basement closet after it stripped a gear.
If you make bread, especially if you make it frequently or in large quantities, chances are you'll grow to love this machine. For a single loaf of bread now and then, any good stand mixer will do, and you'll probably be happier.
If you don't make bread at all, a good sturdy hand mixer such as the Braun M880 Multimix would be something to consider. If you make bread, you can rest assured that the Electrolux will do that and anything else you need it to do.

Whip cream, crush berries, knead dough, mix batter, and more with what some call Sweden's greatest kitchen machine. It puts 450 watts to work, along with a variety of attachments to quickly process numerous foods. Its superior motor design automatically adjusts torque to the load and as a result strains less and is far less likely to "walk" across your counter too. The timer allows you to start the mixer, set a time, and move to a different task while the machine goes to work. The unique roller and scraper design produce smooth, silky, elastic dough quickly and easily, effectively mimicking hand kneading. As the stainless steel bowl rotates, the deeply fluted roller perform like "fingers" while the scraper acts as the palm of the hand, scraping and massaging in a rhythmic motion. The white stationary bowl can be used to beat up to 18 egg whites for a gorgeous meringue or to cream butter and sugar for baking. When this bowl is used the whisks drive from below via a center column in the bowl, and this arrangement permits unimpeded access to the top of the bowl, with no overhead motor drive to get in the way.

Sunbeam 2350 Heritage Stand Mixer White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When my old Sunbeam mixer died, I decided to purchase this model. I am very glad I did. If this one lasts as long as my old mixer, we will retire together!
The Heritage model is quiet and powerful. At first I thought the mixer was slow, but not so. It just quietly beats, whips, and kneads along. I was pleasantly surprised when the dough hooks would really knead bread dough. My hands appreciate that, and I even make homemade bread more often.
The beater release button and mixer button to raise mixer were stiff at first. However, they have loosened up with use and that is no longer a problem. Due to the height (nearly 16"), I cannot put the mixer in my kitchen cabinets. I have to let it set on the counter top. This might be a problem for some folks. Basically, what it does for me is make me keep it cleaner!
The mixer is quite heavy, but I consider that a plus, as it shouldn't tip over. When the mixer is raised, it will not come down without depressing the button, so there is no danger of it falling when you don't want it to. All in all, I am well pleased with the mixer.
