I love my KitchenAid. I’ve got an Artisan mixer, without any of the attachments yet. But the machine is brilliant. My cakes turn out so light and airy now. I recommend it 100%.

I love my Kitchenaid mixer. I have had mine for 10 years and it is still going strong. I also have all the attachments (grinder, pasta maker, shredder, juicer, etc.) You usually have to buy these separate unless you get a package deal

Don’t go cheap on a Kitchen Aid. Go to a restaurant supply store and get the commercial grade with a lifting bowl. It comes with a dough hook, mixer blade and whip and everything else is an add on. They will last for 25 years or more even in a commercial kitchen. The add ons can quickly cost more than the machine since they have meat grinders, pasta machines and all kind of other stuff. They add-ons can be over $100 each.

The Kitchen Aids in most stores are very cheap compared to the good stuff. Check the bowl. it should be heavy. The twist off base kind are crap and can break faster.

Make sure it is 650 watts or more. And yes you can by attachments.

Both KitchenAid and Hobart are made by the same company, they are the best.

I have the kitchenaid and I love it. I have the 600wt. it was about 300.00 dollars but it was worth it. The other best mixer is the Viking. I think it is a step or two above the kitchenaid .

The Kitchen Aid is the best as it is the most versatile and yes it does have a meat grinder, pasta machine, etc. Many different things.

I lkke kitchenade. They are heavy, good powered and worth the money. They will last for ages and ages.

They don’t come with those attatchemnts but you can buy them seperatly. The pasta roller is pretty expensive, but the meat grinder isn’t to bad.

They should all come with 3 mixer attatchments. This whisk, bread paddle, and bread hook.

I’ve had a Kitchenaid mixer for 35 years, and it still works as well as the day I bought it. I do dessert catering, so some days it’s in constant use too. I don’t have any “gadgets” with it (not even the splatter shield) - just 3 paddles. Kitchenaid is well worth the cost, since it will last a lifetime. I DO have a great Cuisinart 14-cup food processor though, that does whatever my mixer doesn’t do. That is also worth the extra investment
