Kitchenaid Classic Stand Mixer Keeps Getting Better
The Kitchenaid classic stand mixer has been the workhorse appliance in many kitchens for so long that it has become symbolic. Other companies have been trying to compete with in recent years, but Kitchenaid has not stood idly by. They have expanded their range to compete at the higher end on both style and function.
If you only need a stand mixer every once in a while, then the entry-level Kitchenaid classic stand mixer will almost certainly meet every need that you have. The machine comes in either red or white, has a 4.5-quart bowl and a 250-Watt, 10-speed motor. The mixer comes with a wire beater, flat beater and dough hook. For basic cake making, cream whipping and occasional bread kneading, this mixer will do just fine.
You don’t have to settle for the limited choices of other mixers. The Kitchenaid artisan 5 quart stand mixer has a bigger bowl capacity than you will find in most stores, and the powerful motor can even mix bread dough. And there are so many colors to choose from, you will be able to match any kitchen decor. It costs about $75 more than the classic Kitchenaid mixer, but if you are a daily user of your stand mixer, you will find this one worth the extra expense.
When it comes to baking some people take it really serious. If this is the type of person you are, then you may consider investing in a Kitchenaid professional 600 mixer. For an additional $125.00 – $150.00 more than the Kitchenaid artisan 5-quart stand mixer, you will receive a 6-quart bowl and a beefy 575-Watt motor. The motor sports have a number of great features such as soft start to stop splattering and it also has automatic shut-off. The Kitchenaid professional 600 mixer comes in about 12 different colors, which include a few metallic finishes, so you should have no problem finding something that goes with your taste.
One thing that all of the Kitchenaid models have in common is extensibility through the addition of various attachments. These include a meat grinder (which I can tell you makes great country sausage), an ice cream maker, a pasta roller and a citrus juicer. Using the Kitchenaid attachments for these tasks saves valuable counter and closet space. It also means that you don’t have to worry about burning out the motor on a countertop device when you have a reliable stand mixer to drive things.
Whether you are an occasional baker or a semi-professional pizza maker, the range of stand mixers offered by Kitchenaid will have something for you. The Kitchenaid classic stand mixer is a great machine that can do a lot for you, but if you can find somebody else to pay for it (there’s a reason to put these things on your wedding registry), then one of the more expensive models make a great investment.
Although other companies have tried to duplicate and compete against the Kitchenaid classic stand mixer, they haven’t been able to match the power and reliability that this mixer provides. For those who want a little more out of their mixer, the Kitchenaid Artisan 5-quart stand mixers offer a little more bowl capacity and a more powerful 325-Watt motor that can handle pizza dough with ease. There are individuals who take baking very seriously. If you count yourself among them, you might wish to treat yourself to a Kitchenaid Professional 600 Mixer. This motor turns on gently to avoid splatters and has an automatic shutoff as well.
