A classic mixer with plenty of modern touches
This Classic Series mixer focuses on durability and thorough mixing, so you can trust it with both thick doughs and lighter batters. The all-metal frame features planetary mixing action, meaning the beaters travel across most of the bowl. Instead of dry pockets clinging to the bottom or sides of the bowl, the ingredients are drawn towards the center, allowing you to spend much less time scraping the bowl and providing a more consistent texture overall.
The 4.5-quart stainless steel bowl offers enough room for large batches of cookies or multiple rounds of dough without frequent stops to wash and reset the bowl. The smooth stainless finish cleans up quickly at the sink, and the bowl is also safe to put in the dishwasher, making clean-up a breeze after sticky doughs or frosting.
The speed control on this stand mixer uses a single dial that offers a full range of speeds for common tasks. Low speeds offer gentle folding and stirring for delicate batters, mid-range speeds for cake mixes, quick breads, and frostings, while higher speeds provide for whipping egg whites or cream when you desire loft and a finer texture. Additionally, the mixer maintains a constant speed throughout each task, ensuring your favorite baked goods always turn out consistently.
The accessories included in the box make it easier to start baking right away. You get a flat beater for general use, a dough hook for kneading yeast dough, and a six-wire whip for jobs that require more air to be incorporated. The attachments are dishwasher-safe for easy clean-up, while the whip requires only a quick hand wash before returning to the storage rack.
One of the best aspects of the KitchenAid Classic Series 4.5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer is its expandability via the power hub at the front of the mixer. This hub, sold separately, accepts attachments that convert the mixer into a base for grinding meat, rolling pasta, or spiralizing vegetables. Since you are utilizing the same motor on your counter, you are adding capabilities without taking up extra space. The current sale price of $280, rather than the standard retail price of $400, makes that added versatility a more economical option.
