I have waited a long time for one of these and I did not disappoint. Fantastic robust mixer my cakes are light and fluffy. Arrived promptly packaged well.
Loved this – we haven’t used it as much as we would’ve liked but are moving soon so hope we will in our new place. Meanwhile it looks great on the worktop.
I love this machine. It’s easy to use, looks great and is the perfect size for domestic (family of five) use.
It is very quiet but sturdy. It cleans very easily and I am delighted that we purchased it. My husband has made bread dough with it and I have made numerous cakes and some ice cream in it!
Absolutely love my kitchen aid! It’s very robust and you can do
So much! It’s a great investment of you’re really into baking:)
Great item unfortunately diet now out of the window as it makes such lovely cakes!
Probably. These are good, but a lot more expensive in the UK than a Kenwood Chef. I’ve used both and I think they are equally effective, at least for bread making. The plastic covering on the dough hook peeled off prematurely, but Amazon – God Bless them! – replaced it without a murmur. I’ve no idea about the longevity, as I’ve only had mine a few months.
Go look at them both, and make sure you think this is worth the extra money
I must admit I waz sceptical that this would be the genuine product as id wanted one for so long and coukdnt believe the price
Oh my goodness its amazing and wish id bought one years ago
Would definitely recommend and what am unbelievable price
Love my new mixer, perfect in every way no dislikes or faults at all, well worth the money 🙂 A very happy customer.
Decided to get this as I wanted a robust mixer, which this certainly is. Its easy to use and the results are very good. Will enjoy lots more cake and bread making. It arrived very quickly and in good condition.
I’ve wanted one of these for ages, as I’m keen on baking. This is a very good quality mixer, very heavy base which is great for stability. Still exploring the different tools that came with it, but very pleased with the look and quality of the machine and it does what it’s supposed to effortlessly. I was lucky enough to get it at a very good price, so pleased all round with this purchase.
This is in constant use in my kitchen and I can’t do without it! Only wish the bowls with handles had been standard at the time but the price was such a good deal how can you complain. It is met with many a jealous look when friends visit.
Bought this for my wife and she was over the moon.
The cakes that she bakes using this have been awesome.
It’s a heavy thing and all the parts seem high quality.
It takes pride of place in our kitchen : )
That comes from a chef… My daughter thinks this is just fantastic. Now she wants all the accessories to go with it… That covers next birthday as we’ll …..
I fell in love with this mixer while watching QVC and was ready to buy one from then – until I looked on Amazon and saw the price of this one – incredible! I haven’t been disappointed, my new KitchenAid is just wonderful.
Wonderful machine, can’t believe that the fitting of my mom’ kitchen aid of 50+years ago still fit a new machine (th motor finally gave up the ghost). Proof enough that a KItchen Aid is and has been such an excellent product there is no need for a complete make over that renders all past models obsolete. Thanks.
Bought as a birthday present for my son who loves to cook.
He was very pleased with the mixer and immediately got to work on baking some bread – delicious!
The machine is well made and does everything it says it should do, but my only concern is that the top can be lifted up whilst it is in lock mode. I don’t know if there is any easy way of rectifying this problem.
The dewalt of the catering world real quality piece of kit all metal construction and it is really well made
This is a very good mixer. The build quality is excellent. It is quiet and handles every mixing task we can throw at it. Although it is tempting to go for one of the pretty coloured ones, the price that Amazon offered is very competitive. This classic white model is so much cheaper with more or less the same accessories (the bowl is slightly smaller without a handle) and fitted within my budget. It also looks great in the kitchen.
Overall,we are happy with the purchase and the speedy Amazon service.
The best reviews when researching alternative food mixers. Very stylish solid mixers value for money. Choice of additional accessories available.
I wanted this mixer for a long time. Dropped lots of hints running up to Christmas and someone finally noticed! It is fantastic. My cakes are lighter and so quicker and easier to make. It’s a very solid piece of equipment so put it out on the work surface and leave it there.
As it was a Christmas present I don’t know how good it is, but my daughter who was given it is very pleased with it and has always wanted one and has used it several times already and thinks her cakes are even better than previously!!
Very difficult to find out which model is suitable for 240V operation. Kitchenaid could make it a bit clearer by including this info in their specs.
Nice solid bit of kit, feels realy well made in an old fashioned klunky sort of way( not flimsy plastic)
Classic piece of equipment, looks stylish while being functional. Makes baking a breeze just wish I had one years ago when the children were growing up, I know I will use it for years and loved it so much I got this for my daughter.
An excellent gift for my daughter-in-law. Value for money. I will be recommending this product to all my family and friends.
The only issue I would point out is that on the neck of the mixer you will see a pin (clear in the picture also). This pin works it’s way out when you turn the settings up with the vibrations clearly move the pin which is responsible for keeping the neck together. It’s easy to push back in but I still find this annoying considering we paid the amount we paid for this.
Other than that, I love it and it should last a lifetime!
I’ve wanted one of these mixers for a long time, but was put off by price. Saw it for 260 and decided to go for it. I love baking, and this just makes it so easy. I use it several times a week, so am getting my money’s worth from it. Would definitely recommend.
Why would anyone buy the Artesan for 200 more? This does everything an avid baker could wish for. The bowl size is more than adequate for my family of 5. It’s pretty quiet, mixes and beats to a high standard – merengues were a dream and bread is lighter than ever. And it looks smart left out on the work top.
I have brought this as a wedding present but they already have one. Same colour and model. My son and daughter also have one and love it. So will not have any problem find this one a home. It has been suggested that I keep it. I know this product is very tough and easy to use. Havent turned it on yet but sure it will be fine..
The motor sounds ridiculously powerful but it’s NOT noisy, you can feel the power of the machine. The attention to detail is superb, really I cannot fault this machine.
I wish I could have bought the top of the range, but that’s not because this one is lacking. It’s just that as I’m so impressed and love this, I’d love to experience what the best of the best is like!!
Mixes, kneads and whisks to perfection. The machine itself is solidly assembled and comes with a set of basic mixing implements – whisk, beather and dough hook. The range of accessories available is wonderfull and for those who watch Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry in the great British Bake Off – KitchenAid is the de facto standard.
Love it to bits
p.s. – her name is Olga….
Very pleased with my purchase, have wanted one of these for about 5 years, but the cost of it put me off and I knew I would be eating lots of fattening things!!! But now I have lots of grandchildren make THEM lots of things, looks great on the side and works like a dream.I have bought the bigger bowl to go with it as I find the smaller bowl good for mixing cream, and liquids, but have to say flour mixtures can fly all over the place.
I got this as a present for my daughter’s birthday as she is a very keen cook and she loves it. It makes fantastic bread and does all the hard work for you!
I absolutely love my mixer, I never ever buy pasta from the shops now, I think there’s something in dried pasta that upsets my stomach, so being able to make fresh pasta very quickly is a god send as I love pasta! I have the pasta making attachments too which makes the task quick and simple to do.
Cake making is a breeze too, I’m no good at bread making although its not my mixers fault, it does its job wonderfully.
The price of these kitchenAid mixers put people off, but I think they are worth the money. The build is very strong, being made of metal, they are heavy and sturdy and the motor is very reliable mixing and kneading without effort. When I’m using my pasta attachment the motor can be on for half an hour if I’m making a big batch and there’s no sign of over heating it just goes on and on and I’m confident enough with my machine that I let it work for as long as I need it.
I wasn’t sure how much I’d use it and would it be worth spending so much when I could buy something cheaper, but I use it a lot and yes it was worth spending the extra dosh, I know it’s going to last.
I have been wanting to buy a Kitchen Aid for years but the price hust doesn’t seen to budge.
This is the best price i have found and the prodcut is amazing. Worth waiting for!
The buttercream also seems to be smoother and shinier in this bowl (not sure if that is a scientific fact!) I would really recommend this.
Also dont be fooled byt he artisan model, yes the bowl is bigger and it has a higher WATT, but it really isnt worth the extra 200.
his is my dream come true,the best and only mixer for a professional finish to any cake makeing,it has taken me along time to afford but the wait has been well worth it.this product will go on to my daughter,and she will still be using this mixer for many years.
very happy with this easy to use and clea
It is very heavy but I think thats a good thing as it shows to me that it is a solid well made piece of equipment.
I thought that I would try my hand at breadmaking with my new KitchenAid, was amazed at the results, beautiful soft lovely bread first time. So easy,just chuck in all the ingredients and let the mixer do the work. I will never use my breadmaker again, the results just dont compare.
It is very white but will fit in with most kitchens I think.
Very retro looking and absolutley feels bulit to last. I would have liked a black one but I was not willing to put up the best part of another 200 for a colour. I agree with other reviews that the Classic does the job perfectly so i think it is better value than the Artisan.
I will be using this at least 3 times a week for my bread and the odd cake, oh and I believe it does killer mash so will have to try that.
BTW, I got mine as a warehouse deal, damaged box so 236, nothing wrong with it at all! Thank you Amazon.
LOVE IT!!!
Absolutely love this, wish I’d bought it years ago!!!!!! Now the large glass mixing bowl and perhaps the ice cream maker is next on the list.
Best item i have bought in a long time. It was an early christmas gift to myself, well worth the money
I,have been using my kitchen aid every day for the past couple of weeks now and absolutely love it! Best mixer I have ever had! I love baking and this has just made it a whole lot easier.
Solid, clean lines and heavy duty, the Classic mixer is all I need to enhance my daily baking. No plastic so feels really robust. Expensive but will last a lifetime.
So happy with it I wish I’d just done it sooner and saved a lot of money, time and frustration. Very sturdy, mixes wonderfully, great for pastry (makes the whole process even quicker). I use it at least 5 times a week for something or other. It’s easy to clean and looks great. Part of the family now and will probably last forever.
Only slight down is that I had really wanted the gorgeous deep blue colour but definitely could not justify spending the extra 100+ just for the colour, shame. Not sure why a different colour should increase the cost by so much.
If you’re wavering about purchasing this mixer because of the price I feel that it is a false economy to buy cheap, save a little longer and go for this one! Happy cooking…
Excellent piece of equipment. Looks well and is very very solid and does what it says on the tin. We have used it for well over a year now and are very happy with it.
It is really quite an amazing machine, makes wonderfully light dough, and for cake making it brings an end to curdling eggs when added on the lowest speed.
I am in love with it and it is very easily cleaned.
This is a great machine, and does make first class cakes and bread.
Also on time delivery, well done Amazon.co.uk
I have three small boys and as you can probably imagine, I don’t have time to waste! However with my beautiful KitchenAid Classic mixer, it is so easy to whip up some pancakes for breakfast, fairy cakes (and buttercream icing) for the boys to decorate, a lemon meringue pie for dessert and bread. Lots of gorgeous home made bread. I have the mixer do all the hard kneading work, then I put the dough in the oven to prove while I pick up the boys from school. Then when I get home, I can shape my loaf, get the kids organised with their homework while the bread proves a second time and then in the oven to bake for their tea. Who needs a bread machine? It’s really easy to clean after use, too.
I’m sure most of us would love to choose a trendy colour but let’s face it, white is neutral so will go with most kitchen decors and the price is well worth it.
Keep an eye out for when Amazon has this on sale. I got mine for half price and free shipping Christmas time 2007. Then a couple of weeks later got the KitchenAid spatula for half price too. What a deal. 🙂
