Fantastic product, sturdy, works a treat. Well worth the money.
I have ached for one of these for a long time. I love it. I use it a lot and it looks great on the kitchen worktop. My only gripe would be that despite adjustment as directed it doesn’t mix ingredients at the bottom of the bowl – a design flaw you wouldn’t expect in such an expensive produc
I bought this product based on its name and reputation. 75 years of customer satisfaction and strong and very well built. SADLY NOT ALL KITCHEN AID PRODUTS ARE MADE IN THE USA-SO WATCH OUT.
Excellent value, extremely well built, sturdy, easy to use and clean.
We use it for cake making mostly, but there are multiple uses. Does everything we need. Really outstanding build quality to the actual body, though we have experienced breakages on the blades which was a little disappointing. Not really something you can move in and out of the cupboard easily due to the weight, so worth bearing in mind if you don’t have someone you can keep it out all the time and use a lot!
What can I say?! if you like kitchenaids then you know what I am talking about. Great machine!
For two of us this machine is just the right size. It is sturdy and very easy to use. Would recommend this mixer to add to the kitchen.
If you are considering a cheaper alternative don’t ! I purchased a cheaper model from another manufacturer within a month the bowl started to rust.
Yes, I had problems with my first KitchenAid as it wouldn’t turn the hook, beater or paddle. They quickly replaced it with one which works beautifully.
I am delighted with this gadget, I make bread rolls and my husband says that they are the best rolls ever. The KitchenAid May cost more but it’s worth every penny.
Only draw back was the bowl got stuck on the machine. Quite a common fault it would appear. A quick check on you tube a little oil, problem solved.
Can’t remember what I was thinking waiting so long to get one. Absolutely fantastic, will most probably out live me.
I was lucky to get this product on offer. Therefore I consider it value for money. I would have got the kenwood offer with loads of attachments but that particular model does not support a pasta machine; something I really want. And that is why I got the KitchenAid – and in time I hope to get it as well as other attachments. If you don’t mind not having a pasta attachment then I would consider getting the kenwood. Otherwise, the KitchenAid is better and definitely more stylish.
It does exactly what is should, works like a dream
It’s amazing. Very sturdy and the attachments are made of metal (not plastic). It’s also not to noisy when working.
O was afraid to buy cause in the description says 110 but it’s 220 and UK plug….so I’m really happy price and product perfec
This was a gift. We already have used one for many years. Good quality and reliable the best mixer available
cakes and meringue mixed in this mixer the best I’ve ever made so easy to use too.
Perfect for cake making (I’m sure it has other uses but I only use for making cake batters) and I can’t imagine making a cake without it!
Yes the kitchen aid but it is smaller than what I expected
Wow – was a good investment & will last for years. Great for cakes, batter mixes. Well worth the money.
he adjustment of the height of the beater is critical to a better produc
Arrived within the stated period. Very pleased with its performance so far.
It’s an excellent machine and if you can get it for under 300 it’s a fantastic deal. Just slightly smaller (and a bit less powerful) than the artisan, yet heavy and powerful enough for anything you wish to throw at it. I just wish the bowl had a handle, but you can get that separately (as well as pretty much any accessory it’s bigger brothers have).
The only issue I really have with it, is that it has a slight metal manufacture imperfection on the side that could harm you if you don’t just fix it before using it.
Aditionally, as others have noted, my machine also arrived somewhat dirty, or should I say, stained, but as far as I can tell, it’s brand new and unused.
The best kitchen appliances around. Last long and definitely speeds up cooking and baking
I use my kitchen aid almost every day for making bread and cakes with healthy ingredients.
bought this on a amazon warehouse deal and its a fab mixer very pleased with i

As described. Mixes cake batter perfectly. Looks amazing, well built and easy to use.
Very nice product but had to return it as it was bought as a present and she didn’t like i
Have always wanted a kitchenaid couldn’t justify buying an artisan as much as I would like one!!! Bought the classic at a great price (kept watching price for I don’t know how long). Absolutely delighted with it. I use it for domestic use, use it probably once a week, have just ordered and received a slightly bigger bowl with Handle as find need two bowls at times. Does all the jobs I need it to do and really happy from cakes, bread and the best mash ever (so my children say) if you can afford an artisan go for it… if not this will tick lots of boxes.
Kitchenaid Classic Stand Mixer in White. This Kitchenaid mixer does not disappoint. I run a small cafe/bakery from home, and have been using this machine almost every second day for over a month….no problems! Its smooth, it doesn’t struggle with power. It makes baking a dream. Easy to clean and wash the parts.
The only reason this is not a 5-star is because I think during shipping the adjustable/head section became slightly mis-aligned and I am not sure how to correct it…or whether it is actually mis-aligned. BUT, it is a GREAT product and I would highly recommend!
By the way, I live in Africa where power surges and cuts are frequent (okay so I don’t leave it plugged in while I’m not using it, but still….impressed); also making it a much longer distance for this machine to have travelled…and it has not disappointed! 🙂
Absolutely love this machine!! Cake making is such a breeze with this. Makes me wonder how I ever managed without it! Worth every penny!
What can you say, it’s a KitchenAid. It’s everything I ever wanted in a mixer.
It does produce a lot of heat when used for longer periods, for example when making Italian Meringue buttercream which requires mixing at high speed for up to 20 minutes at a time.
This is bulky, this is sturdy, and this feels like driving an expensive machine, as it is indeed expensive.
However, this is value for money. It does what it is meant to do, and it does it well.
Only thing I wonder about is how the promotional material talks about 10 speeds, as it shows on the machine itself.
To me, there are only 5 speed settings to move the handle to. Do you share the same experience?
This product is great. Makes perfect meringue and makes baking of any kind easy. Not sure I would ever need the more expensive model. This one does it all anyway. Don’t be put off by not having a handle on the bowl. Makes no difference.

A useful, durable, and beautiful Christmas gift from America to loved ones in Jersey – they love it!
Massively expensive, but feels a quality item. Got friends still using these after 20 years with no troubles along the way.

Is very good though I lost a small chipmunk when it climbed in but it turned into a nice cake
Best kitchen equipment I have bought so far, very pleased with it.
Superb machine, you get what you pay for and this is well built, rugged and sturdy. I expect to be handing this on to my grandchildren that have not yet been born!
I have been wanting to buy a kitchenaid mixer for years but always was hesitant because of the price. I stumbled across this classic design and I am so happy with it! It is just a fraction of the size of the artisan design which is available in most shops. The size does not make any difference, you can still make large quantities of mix no problem! Plus it takes up a little less space on your kitchen surface. The colour is not as clinical white as in the picture and for the price it is definitely worth missing out on the colourful designs of the artisan. As a budding baker I am very impressed with kitchenaid and would highly recommend to anyone.
I just love it! amazing! I always feel like I’ve got a car in the kitchen not a stand mixer. I would recommend it.
This is one of the best kitchen items I’ve ever bought. I’ve had it for 2-3 years now and its still like new.
I was worried about having something so big delivered but it arrived in perfect condition.
Also, it still baffles me how the white mixer is dramatically cheaper than any other colour, its exactly the same machine and the gloss white is just as smart as any other choice.
Love, love, love it’s made life so much easier and quicker. It’s such a good mixer.
Total bargain and the same as the artisan basically. My wife’s cakes are better than ever!!
Got this at a great price from the Marketplace. Highly recommend, does everything the more expensive version does. Recommended it to lots of friends. Still going strong after months of use. I never felt it couldn’t cope with the work. Bought a few accessory bits from Amazon US as it is cheaper.
HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND, however ensure you have free counter top space as it is too heavy to lift.
This is the only mixer that you’ll ever need! It comes with 3 attachments (whisk, mixer & dough hook) which will cover the vast majority of your mixing needs. You can buy additional attachments for the very specific jobs. This has been used loads of times and does not show any sign of wear and tear. The build quality is very good, and I believe that it’s worth the premium price tag.
Excellent stand mixer. Does everything I need it to. Has increased the amount of bread and pastry cooked/baked in our household significantly as it takes the work out of mixing. I also love the versatility of the attachments that can be purchased for this device. This feature, especially, has really turned the KitchenAid into a machine that is used every day for one purpose or another. Don’t regret buying this at all.
Great product, used everyday for over a year and still work and look as if it was just taken out of the box.
I always wanted the kitchen aid Classic. Now I have it and just love i
My daughter loves it and insists that nothing else compares. Trouble is now she wants to try the upgrade Kitchenaid Artisan….
I had it before, I know what I am getting. A good solid machine
A very tough food mixer, I make my own bread and dough which is a strain on this mixer but it copes easily.
This is a great piece of engineering, works well every time, wife is VERY happy after a good couple of years of service. My kids are very happy with mums cakes (etc). It really is the right bit of kit for the “Keen Amateur”.
The only negative point, or perhaps point to note, is that you need to purchase the “KitchenAid KN1PS Pouring Shield for KitchenAid…” as both flower and icing sugar go up in great blooms of dust if you don’t use melted butter.
(Other mixers have the same issue, but this device should come as standard with the mixer)
Brilliant piece of kit – just buy the classic, its all you’ll need – got mine from Amazon Warehouse with 38% off because of a scratch and tiny dent!
I don’t know how I managed to bake without this. I find I use it everytime I bake now, even pastry. Haven’t tried bread yet as it is the Classic model and the motor isn’t quite up to a full size loaf amount of dough. But other than that I really love using this
bought for my other half as a birthday gift – he loved i
I purchased this mixer over 4 years ago during the 2011 Black Friday and got it at an absolutely brilliant price.
Since then I have gone on to train professionally as a Baker/Patisserie chef and this mixer saw me through all of my training and beyond.
Over the last 4 years I have used this mixer to make pastry, cookies, breads, cakes, ice creams, custards, even things such as mashed potatoes and burgers. It is exceptionally versatile and it has survived almost daily use without any repercussions – I will say that I have looked after this machine and followed the guidelines of maximum capacities and I believe that this is why my machine (along with the high build quality of KitchenAid) has lasted me for such a long time.
I would recommend the Classic mixer over the Artisan any day as the differences between the two in the real world are not worth the additional cost in my professional opinion (I have used both).
There are a few things about the classic that I don’t like but these are trivial – the bowl doesn’t have a handle and the whisk attachment isn’t dishwasher safe, apart from that this is a brilliant machine.
I recently upgraded to the larger 6.9L bowl-lift mixer due to needing something with more capacity and therefore I gave this mixer on to someone else. I cannot recommend this mixer enough it has been brilliant and I would recommend it to anyone who wants something that will last.
Bought for xmas gift. Recipient loved it. However, not impresessed that item was left on porch in KitchenAid box with no outer blank box. It could have ruined surprise for recipient as obvious to anyone who came to house what it was.
Good mixer especially for making bread, on the heavy side for moving around, best kept out where being used. Pleased I bought it Artisan would be too big.
I finally gave in and stopped drea,ING of owning one of these mixers and everything you read about them is TRUE such a difference it has made to my kitchen skills !!!!!!!!!!very speedy service as well literally two days delivery time!!!!!
Even my kids mash the potatoes in it now and the bread hook does a PERFECT job
I’ve had this mixer for nearly 2 years and I’m still very pleased with it. I use it 2/3 times a week to make bread and it’s made it so easy. The enamel on the hook is starting to wear a little but it doesn’t seem to be a problem (and I could get a replacement). The mixer is nice and heavy and doesn’t ‘walk’. Very, very happy with this machine.
Bought this for the wife and never eaten so many cakes. Built to last!
Just wish we had purchased one of these years ago. I have been needing and mixing by hand for as long as I can remember. This mixer has taken all the hard work out of making bread and cake mixes. If you enjoy making bread, and have never used a stand up mixer. I would recommend you buying one of these. You can buy cheaper mixer’s, but I am a strong believer of you get what you pay for. KitchenAid has a very good review on YouTube and most other places I looked before buying this mixer.
This mixer is very easy to use and clean, I give it 5 stars especially for the price.
Great quality, robust and professional, easy to use mixer, solid and reliable.
Love this mixer.It looks good its stylish and works brilliantly.I bake a lot and haven’t yet found anything it can’t manage.Perfect !!!
Made a beautiful cake – am very pleased with it in fact so much so that I made it a little jacket to keep it clean.
Good product would have got 5 stars if price was bette
Bought for my wife. She loves it. Easy to keep clean. Powerful unit able to deal with all things. Beater and dough hook are solid build, the whisk is of a good size making light work of whisking anything. Bowl is a good size so do triple batches of cakes. Head unit tilts back allowing easy access to bowl
Bought this in 2011 and is still going strong today with little to no faults. In such a time-line there has been a need to touch up/tighten a few bolts here and there but all works well as it has from day one.
An excellent item of equipment, built well and easy to operate. A wide range of accessories also available at reasonable prices. I thoroughly recommend the KitchenAid range.
Happy wife=Happy life. My Mrs has wanted one of these for an age and kept dropping the usual hints. Took the plunge as it’s an expensive present (for me anyway) and she loves it. It get lots of use, is very well built and a perfect size for a medium sized modern kitchen. To date I cannot fault it in any way at all.
The quality is great I can not be with-out it now.
I spent a while thinking about buying one of these mixers, and was finally seduced by the competitive price of this one!
I absolutely love it. I keep it on the worktop, so that I can easily use it. It’s simple to use, easy to change the beaters and minimal washing up. My cooking has improved no end…..
A large and impressive piece of kit which works very well. Not modern in design it has a cool, retro feel with heavy clunky mechanical controls rather than electronic buttons. Partner is very pleased with it. It has featured on various TV shows.

Great mixer – makes lovely cakes and looks great in my kitchen too…..
Fab product quick dispatch and delivery. I know this product cost a bit but worth every penny.
This mixer is the best! I’ve never had any problems with it, it’s sturdy, efficient and easy to clean. I only have 3 attachments for it but plan to add extra gadgets when I can afford them!
One thing to note, if you don’t dry the recess where the bowl sits properly after cleaning, it can rust around the edge.
Bought this as a Christmas gift, on first use there was an issue with the motor at full speed, it didn’t seem to hold full power. On the Sunday evening I filled in a returns form, by Monday it had been collected and Tuesday I had a brand new replacement – Amazon Prime at its best! The replacement has been faultless for over a year. Oh and it mixes quite well. So I’m told.
Great product at a great price. Like other viewers my old Kenwood had died. I am so pleased I decided to replace with the Kitchen Aid Classic. White is good and not worth paying extra for the colours of the Artisan machine. This machine is easy to use,smooth and quiet. Just love it. Had an Amazon Warehouse deal so the price was brilliant too.
This is the most impressive mixer I have ever had, the controls are so easy and the tools are just as good too. I wish I had one sooner as this makes cake making easier, the whisk is beneficial and making bread dough is an exception. Well Done Kitchen Aid Classic.
Excellent product. Originally bought Kenwood Premier Chef but wasn’t happy with how ‘clunky’ it was. Sold it and bought this KitchenAid and haven’t looked back. The first KitchenAid that arrived had a chip in the base – Amazon promptly replaced it no problem at all. The design is actually quite sturdy. It looks fantastic in the kitchen, is easy to use and does the job perfectly – from bread to cakes to biscuits. Is used every weekend and still like brand new.
Now these aren’t the cheapest out there, but they truly take some beating (excuse the pun), Build quality is exactly what you would expect – feels robust and solid and does a great job. I’m am sure this mixer will outlast me – wonderful product!!

Great machine, now making bread and cakes like a pro!
My partner is a chef and was over the moon with this. Over the past while he has made some delicious cakes with this so I would definitely recommend! Kitchen Aids aren’t cheap, but you get what you pay for – quality and durability
Does everything I expected it to do. Good quality produc
lovely to use,a great addition for anyone who loves baking. needs its own place on work surface as it is heavy to move about, but looks good anyway
Bought as a present and they are very pleased, have tasted the excellent results! Arrived in the original box no extra packaging which I thought would be safer and hide its contents, so thing to think abou
Anything Kitchen aid do is great, and way better than all the other makes IMHO.
Sitting here with a smug smile upon my face and the wonderful aroma of baking christmas cakes. You guessed it, I’ve used my new kitchen aid classic for the first time and it’s fantastic, I followed the recipe in Mary Berrys baking bible (another great buy from amazon) just put all ingredients except the fruits in the mixer, blend for half a minute and stir in fruits, Done. Fabulous machine.
