KitchenAid (K45SSWH) Classic Series 4.5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer Reviews

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.

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.)

After months of saving to have this mixer. I was finally able to purchase. Was a dream come true! It has made my baking experiences so much fun and enjoyable. That I am literally making a trip every 4 days for another 5lbs of flour and butter. From cakes, to homemade bread, cookies and cupcakes..I couldn't imagine not having one. This is truly the best kitchen appliance since sliced bread! ☺
