everything that you ever needed
I bought my classic mixer over 12 years ago. There isn't one bad thing I can say. I have so many things wrong with my hands and this mixer saves me every time. I have the old style attachment for shredding etc., works fantastic. Especially when making carrot cake or lasagna.

Disappointed in new CHEAPER KitchenAid Mixer
Kitchen Aid was the premier in kitchen mixers. But now to make them cheaper in price, to sell in 'Big Box Stores' they have changed a few things. 1st. There's No Handle on the mixing bowl anymore. (But for $60.00 extra you can purchase one with a handle). 2nd. They don't include the plastic shroud/filler for the top of the bowl anymore. BUT again for extra you can purchase one. And I can only GUESS at what they have done to the insides, ie : Motor and gears. Although its still a great mixer, the missing handle and shroud really do make a difference. I had wanted/planned to purchase one for myself, And the 'Black Friday' price seemed to good to believe so I purchased one. Had I known about the changes I would NOT have purchased from a 'BIG BOX Store' but instead would have purchased form a kitchen store with ALL the bells and whistles. I purchased one 20 years ago for the wife, still works, no problems and one for my son 2 years ago. So this one is the 3rd one in the family, So you can see why I'm disappointed with this purchase.

    Great addition to my kitchen!
    I have had my new mixer for a few weeks now and really like how easy it is to use and to clean. So far I have used it to mix cookie dough, cake batter, bread dough, and a ground beef mixture for patties. Each recipe mixed well and I could let the mixer work while I measured and added ingredients to the bowl. No more juggling a hand mixer along with other utensils. I am very pleased with my purchase and recommend the KitchenAid Classic mixer as a great addition to the tools in your kitchen

    A longtime coming! KA arrives.
    I have been wanting a kitchen aid mixer for 20 years and I finally got one for my birthday in November 2021,from my son. I have been using it nonstop making yeast bread cookies,bourbon cake,cinnamon rolls,and bought grinder to grind my own beef. The KA Classic mixer works like a champ very precise mixing. My previous mixer was a Hamilton beach stand mixer,kitchen aid is better.

    Works perfect so far, making using it so easy. I plan on buying the meat grinder too. I prefer the tilt head mixer over the drop in bowl mixer due to osteoarthritis in my hands. The white mixer looks beautiful in my kitchen and fits in nicely without breaking the bank. Definitely satisfied with my Kitchenaid after wanting one for over a year.

    A Dream Come True
    I've wanted a Kitchen Aid stand mixer since I was a child! I grew up watching cooking shows with my mom and although we made amazing things by hand, I wanted to have the help of a Kitchen Aid one day. And FINALLY I have one! I bought the black one to match my kitchen, and on the day it came I was so excited that as soon as I opened and cleaned it I made chocolate chip cookies. It was so easy to learn how to use the mixer, and it made mixing the dough quick and simple. I've used the mixer several times over the last few weeks and every time it's done everything I needed it to do perfectly. I love it and I'm genuinely ecstatic to call one of these classic appliances mine!

    Love this Mixer
    I bought this mixer last month to make cookies for my great grandsons birthday. I've never been one to cook or bake much, but let me tell you my new mixer took the burden of mixing ingredients away. It was so easy to whip up a batch of sugar cookies that I ended up making 80 cookies and and they were a hit. I've never used anything but a handmixer before. It has opened a whole new love of baking for me and I am so happy

    Very heavy but good
    I have been waiting to buy the Kitchen Aid all my life. Product does an amazing job but is extremely heavy. Is not an appliance that you can move all the time.

    Easy to use
    I'm not kidding when I say that this stove made me a better cook. It's the easiest stove I've ever used. The control of the heat settings versus the size of the pan you're using is a fantastic feature. Most glass top stoves I've used simply adjust heat and size at the same ratio, meaning it will overcook whatever is on a larger skillet. With this, I can slow cook large dishes at a lower temperature, and even let it simmer with the "simmer" feature. Baking is also a breeze, and incredibly user friendly, so that even my nine year old could use it to bake cupcakes for Father's Day!

    Powerful!
    After going through 5 hand mixers and 3 Sunbeam mixers. I decided to take the next step and purchase my first kitchenaid.I've never been disappointed. It's a powerful mixer and I must say I look forward to baking more! (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)

    No surprise...it's great!
    This was given to as a wonderful surprise gift about a month ago. Now I look for any excuse to use it. I bake and decorate cakes and cupcakes a lot and this mixer has made it like 10x easier make all the elements I need. It also has freed up my hands so I can clean up my kitchen as I let things fully mix. (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)

    Best kitchen gadget award
    I received this mixer for Christmas and it is the perfect addition to my kitchen. I am an avid baker and I've been able to make so much. It is so easy to use, easy to assemble, and easy to clean. I have had no problems with it at all. I have not used the bread dough accessory yet but look forward to trying it out.

    Never thought I needed it until I got it!!!!
    I never thought I needed this piece of machinery until my kids have it to me for Christmas, and then I still wasn't sure UNTIL my husband actually used it to knead the pizza dough we make every Sunday night. It's been great for any kind of mixing tho. Easy to use and easy cleanup. Love it!!!!

    OMG It is awesome
    My husband bought me the mixer for Christmas because I tell him for every holiday and anniversary that is what I want. Of course he had to wait until he afford it. But I GOT ONE!!! WOOOHOOO. Use it whip up lucious mashed potatoes. Even made some home rolls and cookies. Cant say enough good about it. I would love to be able to afford all of the attachments as I love to cook.

    I just love my KitchenAid mixer!
    I received my KitchenAid mixer a couple weeks ago. I have made cookies twice, and a cake. I can't wait to make other dishes! I guess my old beater was not working as well as I thought, because everything has been delicious that I have made with this! I love it! (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)

    Good bowl size for home baking
    I bought this mixer to replace a larger model. The bowl is a much better size for mixing smaller quantities and the beater works efficiently to to make sure everything is well mixed. The larger mixer I had left some unmixed ingredients at the bottom of the bowl.

    Really Nice Range
    Very stylish in our new kitchen. The cook top is nice with the adjustable burners to pan size. Heats quickly. Paid up for the convection model, but not convinced it was worth it - doesn't save that much time. Bakes everything perfectly and the lowest time setting. Happy with it.
