Stand mixers work wonders when you want to whip up baked goods such as layer cakes, cookies, meringue, or bread. But if you’re only an occasional baker—or just don’t have a lot of dough to spend on a stand mixer—do you really need a high-end model?

I burst out laughing when you guys got that mixer by the tail!
In the design portion when the Farberware got turned on, my cat went from chill loaf to WAT IN TARNATION WAS THAT NOISE mode-head cranked around looking back @ my phone w/ huge eyeballs.
biased review skipping the part where you have to scrape the sides of the KitchenAid but make a big deal about doing it with the hamilton beach. @2:08 "it isn't getting anywhere near them"
Love my Kitchenaid I got in 2004, works great. I saw a review video that shows it rocking when using dough hook. Clearly that person didn't know to lock the mixer head. ATK videos are great as they are by people who read the manuals and know how to properly use the equipment.
My wife likes her old Sunbeam two beater stand mixer much better than her Cuisinart.
How come the Kitchen Aid Classic is only 275W whereas most stand mixers are 800-1200W? I don't get how the motor is a quarter of the strength but it still comes out top in reviews?
Pro Tip: Be sure to use the adjustment screw to raise or lower the attachments to the proper height above the bowl after you buy a mixer. Otherwise, you can have problems with attachments not reaching down far enough. Or attachments scraping on the bowl.
So how were Ciabatta an bagel dough kneaded before automation?
Bought the classic plus based on this video…doesn’t cream butter and sugar without loosening the bowl and lifting and rotating it to scrape the sides. Try to incorporate an egg, it just sits at the bottom of the bowl on top the creamed butter without getting incorporated at all. More scraping, lifting and rotating bowl. It’s nearly worthless. Is ours defective? It doesn’t work at all like the one reviewed here!
Please do a review of the KitchenAid pro 600 … Read a lot of bad things about it such as metal shavings in the food, it sounding like a tank, it's so loud you can't stand to be next to it….
The kitchenaid model you are using in this test (classic) is the lowcost model.
Literally the base version with bare minimum possible. Like a person buying a house (usually small) in some HOA hell, in a residential street, with minimum yard in front and the back, just to say you own a house…
Minimum Kitchenaid mixer to use is the 300W Artisan range. Don't cheap out just to buy the barebone, the idea, to brag about owning one but finding out, you need to spend more to buy more stuff to be useful. (and thus ending up spending the same money as the Artisan range)
Besides the classic isn't recommended for dough. Once or twice in it's life time maybe, but this classic range is for whipping cream and soft stuff for your garden variety beginner that does light cooking in the kitchen.
Bowel lift is the ultimate unit. Tilt head is for the broke peasants.
I really love these videos! Thanks for detailed comparison.
my kitchenaid Shocked me this morning and died…why I am watching this
i am looking to buy 4.5-5 quart mixer that decent enough for bread dough. How is the KitchenAid Classic Plus compare to KSM90 or KS5SS? It seems to me the latest version wattage little misleading.
Seems like Kitchen aid may be paying for these YT mixer reviews …?
Don’t like this style of review. Didn’t help at all. I feel like I watched you make a decision for me instead of giving me all of the details from each machine to let me decide for myself. The bottom of the line kitchenaid is simply unaffordable. I needed to know what to expect from the cheaper models that are affordable.
Test the Ankarsrum!
I had (gave it away) a Kitchen Aid and it was too heavy, too tall, and too messy. Flour gets everywhere, the “guard” is clumsy and inefficient. I had to scrape the sides and the bottom. I don’t know what was different with my model but it doesn’t seem the same as the one in this video. It is all metal so I didn’t worry about overheated plastic gears and the attachments are handy. I bouht it because my old Osterizer Kitchen Center kicked the can. I miss the Osterizer, they don’t make those anymore.
Just an ad for KitchenAid . Smh
KitchenAid the best 🏆
i personally would do cuisnart over kitchen aid
I don't understand how this review works. You're using different machines to mix different mixtures. The only way to tell the difference between machines would be to use the exact same mixture and see how they each respond. To me, this is not a valid comparison between machines!
The fake “issues” in order to lead the watcher to the Kitchen-aid are over the top.
Hannah is a 🦊🔥
sad to say but here in Australia, Kitchen aid is high end, retails over $500 AUD. Am saving up to buy one after 35 years Kenwood supporter.
LMAO!! So what did y'all do with your checks from KitchenAid? ..cause that wasn't obvious or anything
This was one of the most incomplete comparison. It was obvious who the winner was going to be.
This seems biased.
Why are they not comparing the standard Bosch mixer that is so popular. Never even seen that Bosch before.
Wow, what an obvious advertisement for kitchen aid.🙄
There's a screw when you open the mixer where you can adjust the wisk height on Cuisinart.
I have a Kitchenaid Artisan. It’s very heavy and mixes great, but it “bleeds” oil into my food. Apparently, the company went to a cheaper way to make it that uses plastic instead of precision metal gears when this one was made. We paid a lot for it and it makes me angry when a company trades on its good name and makes products that aren’t nearly as high quality as they used to.
Good luck 🤞 to find parts to repairs it
I’m a classic so’s my mixer. Kitchenaid Classic does everything I need. Cakes, cookies, two loaves of bread (6 cup recipes). I paid $257 December 2021.
Time proven KitchenAid remains to be unbeatable. The original design from the 1930s didn't changed at all compared to the current models. Well, slight facelift/cosmetic design compared to the original "K" model. But still the original concept is still present on the newer models. It's an American icon.
They should consider shooting the entire video on a tripod. Not sure what the intention behind having the camera person constantly moving. It made for a nauseating watch for me.
I think they work for KitchenAid…lol
They talked about beater clearance. But they didn’t talk about the ability to adjust it. I know the Kitchen Aid mixers have an adjustment screw. On tilt head, you tilt the head up to see the screw in the things. In the bowl lift models you drop the bowl down and it will reveal the screw. Turn it one way and the beater is positioned lower, and the other higher. You put a dime in the bowl and it should move a little on every orbit. Do the other mixers have this adjustment. I can’t believe anyone would release a stand mixer that can’t beat two eggs. Something was wrong.
The link shows kitchenaid at $500! I just want to make bread, not open a bakery! The hamilton beach 7 is different and costs $100.00. I was hoping you compared KA with HB7
I just watch one guy showed how he used his stand mixer to make bread and it just melted. KitchenAid way to go. I had mine and I don't think it's gonna melt one me.🥰
Another point to bring up about the others is repairability. The KitchenAid is the only one I've seen parts for.
Hi can you guys make a new one 2021 I want to buy it one best cake stand mixer
Wow, l am disappointed i thought America's test kitchens would be honest. I have that exact Bosch mixer I know exactly what it can do and the only thing you showed was the blue lid shame on you that mixer can whip one egg white, well i won't be watching your reviews anymore.
I love you
