KitchenAid Classic Series 4.5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer K45SS, White

The KitchenAid Classic Series 4.5 Quart Stand Mixer is a kitchen staple for a reason—it’s built like a tank and can handle almost any dough you throw at it. However, the "Classic" entry-level model lacks some of the refined stability found in the more expensive Professional or Artisan series. Why the experience feels a bit rough: - The "Shaky" Factor: One of the biggest issues is that the mixer can get shaky at high speeds. Because it’s a tilt-head design with a slightly lighter base than the bowl-lift models, it tends to "dance" or vibrate on the counter when you're whipping at high velocity or working through a particularly stiff batch of cookies. - Noise Level: It is definitely noisy. The motor has a very mechanical, high-pitched whir that becomes quite prominent as you dial up the speed. It’s a loud reminder of the 250 watts of power under the hood, but it’s far from a quiet kitchen experience. - Solid Construction: Despite the noise and vibration, the all-metal construction is incredibly durable. This is a machine that feels like it will last for decades, even if it isn't the smoothest operator in the room. - Perfect Entry-Level Size: The 4.5-quart bowl is the "sweet spot" for most home bakers. It’s large enough for a standard loaf of bread or a dozen cupcakes but doesn't take up as much precious counter space as the massive pro models. It’s a dependable, legendary tool that gets the job done, but you’ll have to tolerate a bit of noise and movement to get those perfect results.

The price matches the quality of this stand mixer, and once you have one you'll finally understand why they're so expensive compared to other brands (it's the attachments, really.) It's very easy to clean by hand. It has several speed settings and can mix basically anything whether it's pie filling, cake mix, biscuit mix, brownies, chicken dip, etc. I haven't used any of the attachments like the pasta maker etc. but I'm sure they work well. I've had experience using one for a few years before this so it feels intuitive to me, but there isn't a lot to learn. There's a control to lift the mixer head and one to put it back into position. Each of the included mixer attachments (dough hook, wisk, etc.) attaches simply by just locking on to the stand and comes off the same way. After having one, I can't ever go back to using a hand mixer or mixing things by actual hand - no way. It even makes the prep times listed on recipes look slow.

Great mixer machine. I use it to knead light bread doe and it works well. Recommended.

Solid buy. Gotta a great deal. My wife and I have already put it through its paces. I made 9 batches of very heavy roll out cookie dough in it before a Christmas party and it churned right through. I also have an artisan that is a bit more powerful but this seems just as capable. Love my kitchen aid.

I have waited a lifetime to buy this mixer! I LOVE IT!! I chose the classic because of reviews and from doing my own research. I thought I wanted one from the Artisan collection, then I talked with a few friends that have the Artisan style and they each had different reasons of not being totally happy with the mixer 🤔 back to researching. I discovered the differences are: the Artisan has a 50 watt motor difference, bowl size w/ handle, a pouring shield and the beautiful colors offered, not a must have for me as I chose basic black to accommodate my appliances. My blender is gorgeous, heavy weight, glossy black and a workhorse! I made a 3 layer 9in cake and a double batch of buttercream and everything turned out simply beautiful. Well mixed the batter and the buttercream was silky and so pretty. Totally impressed with the mixer it is a solid machine that I would give10 stars if I could. The motor is not loud, there was no shaking or wobbling the highest speed I had to use was medium which I set on 4. The tilt head is solid just do go lifting it and letting go as it is heavy and may tear something up. Clean up is super easy and fast, I’m going to order a cover just to keep protect her even further. I walk by it and smile proudly because I made a great choice. The price point is great, couldn’t be happier.

For me, this mixer is as good as you can get without going total professional grade. I love that it comes in Black. It matches everything in the kitchen except the dishwasher. I had to make a choice. I got the mixer, lol. The parts come off easily, and I can easily keep them clean. And now, I can mix anything I want. No problem with that molasses sweetened gingerbread. The hand mixer I bought in a hurry for a meal was so loud I had to contemplate if I actually wanted to cook! The steady hum of this mixer comes no where close. The easy manner of setting up, the effectiveness of the tools, and the assortment of the tools available! If you are dreaming of this mixer sitting on your counter, don't give up! The product lives up to the dream. Gotta go now, Peanut Butter cookies await me in the kitchen....I can smell them, now.

Best on the market! Quiet.

Although in the question section says it's support 220V it's not. Now I'm stuck with this unit

I reveived the ıtrm almost after 1 month byt it was did not working. Whenever start to work all electricity system was shutring down. Even though seller said me I am allowed do send product to them with any of courier they insist on the not pay my courier cost which is Aed 2537. So I paid that amount and I don t have any product currently. So recommend you do not buy anthing from that seller and amazon and Kitchenaid.

La llegado de Amazon Prime a Mexico literalmente ha cambiando mi vida! Vivo en un pueblo de 10,000 y aqui no hay nada. De vez en cuando pedia cosas de Amazon, pero el envio era $$$. Cuando vi este producto - tania anos con ganas de comprarlo - en un precio muy acesible decidi coprarlo. Ya lo he usada varias veces y funciona perfecto. Nada que ver con batidora de pedestal mas economico. Lo hago pan 2 o 3 veces por semana y con esta maquina todo es mas facil. No es la version de lujo pero hace todo lo que tiene que ser! Estoy muy, muy contenta, no solo por el producto sino el precio y el excelente servicio que brinda Amazon!

In summary, the KitchenAid mixer has become an integral part of our culinary adventures. It's a reliable, versatile, and beautifully designed appliance that my wife simply can't do without.

For years I tried to convince my wife (A great baker) to get one but she always refused. I finally decided to buy it for her (as a surprise). At first she asked me to return it, but I insisted she tries it at least once. As they say, the rest is history, she loves it and wishes she listened a long time ago. Great machine, easy to use and clean She now makes baked goods twice as often as she used to. Negative: i gained a couple extra pounds 😀
