Classic Series 4.5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer K45SS, Onyx Black

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.

Satisfied with this purchase, 4.5 qt is big enough for 1-6 people when you’re doing serving, it’s a lot quieter than my old sunbeam. This does take up a lot more space , almost double. Heavy compared to my sunbeam which I’m happy about. Very well made. Has been used a lot since I’ve purchased it and it’s going strong. I do wish I purchased another color than white.

Arrived in perfect condition and works well! Made homemade butter as soon as I got it set up and cleaned. The mixing ability is as expected, but I did notice the lower-level settings were louder than the higher settings. No one I know has a KitchenAid mixer (or a mixing stand in general), so I wasn't sure if this was normal. It does not take away from its usefulness nor my overall satisfaction. I've had it for a few months now, and there are no signs of rust or wear, and the color is still holding up with no chips or visible scratches. It is INCREDIBLY heavy, so I will eventually invest in something I can use to slide it forward and backward when needed.

Nice mixer. Have wanted one for a while. Nice and heavy so won’t slide off counter during mixing. Not too loud. Made ine cake so far and mixed well. I liked:)

It's pricey. It's heavy. It's metal. It's quality and has a plethora of awesome attachments. The shape and paint job look very oldschool American. Everything about this unit is and feels industrial, down to the satisfyingly click-y switches. A bit on the expensive side, but it has a powerful motor and the modular attachments are no slouch either. If competitors and cheaper brands are like Shark vacuums, then this is the equivalent to a Kirby. Fantastic addition to a kitchen and opens up a lot of possibilities

I always wanted a kitchenaid mixer. Works great. It was on sale. I'm so happy with it. I bake alot, this makes it easier.

I ordered this mixer for my son & fiance for a partial wedding gift since everyone in our family has a KitchenAid mixer. The mixing attachments seemed a little lighter, but still good. The disappointment was that the mixing bowl did not have a handle on it. Now, I will have to follow up and buy another bowl- with a handle! When KitchenAid products are a little less expensive, there is a reason. I still love KitchenAid! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Awesome mixer. Wish we had purchased one sooner.
