I have been baking for years and this is the first product I have used that is so powerful yet easy to operate. I recieved my Kitchen Aid mixer a week ago and have already baked up a storm. Can't seem to get enought of this beauty! Thank you Yuppiechef and Kitchen Aid!

I was lured by the sexy curves of this machine but failed to actually look into what it is capable of doing! I would not buy this product if you are a serious baker. Look at the power outage, mixing bowl size etc. Not a value for money product in comparison with other brands. It does not cope with kneading of dough, wobbles extensively with heavier mixes, has a flimsy bowl cover and in my opinion the sales price is 70% the brand and aesthetic appeal. Not a fan at all and I believe there are other products on the market that offer much more bang for your buck! Read more

Review by Zulfah W. on 4 March 2013

My wonderful (then partner) husband surprised me with this gorgeous baby for my birthday. I was battling to decide between the Kenwood and the Kitchenaid, but husband took matters into his own hands and decided that because I LOVE pretty things in my kitchen, I would surely love this beauty sitting on my counter top. He even matched the colour to my Le Creuset pots (something which even OCD me didn't think of). BUT I need to point out that Charlotte (as my Kitchen aid is known), is definitely not just a pretty face. Cake batters and doughs are a breeze and egg whites stand no chance! I am definitely not sorry with this purchase and I am no idea what I did before I had her. My only wish is that I could have one in every colour (*sigh*). Read more

I don't know how I managed with out it. Making a cake mixture took me about 3min, normally almost 10. Clean up was so fast I didn't even know it was done. LOVE it!!!!! Everyone must have one if they love to bake as much as I do.

Fantastic machine however I made a 3 cups bread on the weekend and find the dough hook is not long enough to reach the bottom of bowl where I found some of the flour wasn't mixed in with the rest of the mixture — I had to complete the kneading of dough on my table.

other than that the machine is fantastic.

When our KitchenAid Artisan Stand was delivered it came in a huge box. My daughter immediately named it "The Monster" We only opened up the monster when the whole family was at home. We had to wait until the following day as my daughter was having a sleep over. Was the wait worthwhile? Absolutely! By the end of the day the kitchen was full of baked goodies that would have challenged "Australian Master Chef" What was the comment from my daughters? Why didn't you buy this 5 years ago. Oh well you can't please all the people all of the time. Thanks Yuppiechef Read more

Best present I ever got

Item reviewed: White - Gloss

Review by Lauren T. on 14 May 2013

Got this amazing machine for Christmas along with the pasta machine attachment. From bread dough to cookies, there is nothing the KitchenAid can't handle. I've never been great with bread but the dough hook does all the work for you. Pasta machine has also resulted in hours of fun in the kitchen, hubby just loves rolling out and cutting the dough. Everyone should own a KitchenAid.

Did you find this review helpful? Yes No

The KitchenAid Artisan is certainly a sexy new addition to my kitchen. The unit is heavy which means it doesn't slide around the kitchen counter even with a heavy dough mix on, the bowl grips nicely to the unit and the handle makes it easy to work with. The lift lever and power lever seem sturdy and are easy to adjust, even with cupcake mixture covered finge rs.

The motor purrs like a kitten, so with fingers crossed I hope that there is a tiger under the shiny red surface which will keep the machine mixing for years to come. Read more

After many years of drooling over KitchenAids and saving my pennies I finally got myself one of these beautiful machines! It is heavy, solidly built and looks lovely sitting on my counter top.

My biggest dilemma was choosing a colour. I would have liked to be able to see what the mixer looked like in the various colours. I was contemplating (trying to visualise the actual mixer and how large it would look in my small kitchen in a specific colour was impossible). So in the end I went with white, as I feared would be an expensive mistake if I chose the wrong colour. Not unhappy – the mixer is a dream and am looking forward to testing out the free ice cream bowl soon! Read more

I love baking, especially for my family and all my kiddies birthdays.

My first creation with my new KitchenAid was for my sons 5th Birthday this past weekend - I made a version of your yummy rainbow cake. We had a western province themed birthday, so had white and blue layers in my cake and he loved it! (it was a hit with the adults too hehe.)

Before it was a huge task to hand mix and I always had to get my hubby in to finish off my mixing lol - yes its true hahah... But with my KitchenAid it was a walk in the park - easy peasy - no mess no fuss. This KitchenAid is all the inspiration I needed :-)

Onwards I go to the next birthday coming up in February - this time batman inspired :-)

If you don't have one of these, you're sure missing out!

I bought a red KitchenAid stand mixer a week ago, and whilst I've only had time to use it once, its performance was fantastic! So easy to use, delivered great results very fast (made a very stiff meringue in under 5 minutes), the parts were all extremely easy to take apart and clean, and best of all, it looks gorgeous on my kitchen countertop. If you can find the money, I highly recommend it!

I absolutely love my new kitchenAid. I don't think you would fully appreciate this product unless you own one... I baked 3 different baked goods the first night i got it. The motor runs relatively "softly", and with the help of the lid which prevents the cloud of flour hitting the machine, it's a breeze to clean. I absolutely love this machine...

I used my mixer about 5 mins after I unpacked it to bake cookies. AND... I love it. It works like a dream. It is sturdy and strong, except for the splash cover everything is metal and you can see it is made to last. I love the fact that I can leave it to mix the butter and sugar while I waffle off to get the rest of the ingredients. I had only 2 items to wash and a quick wipe down and it was sparkling like new. My only regret is that I can't afford one in every colour. Read more

I love my candy apple KitchenAid Mixer. If I could, I would take a bite out of it. I love the colour, the way it looks on my new kitchen shelf but most of all the sound it makes when mixing gooey cake batter and soft peaked meringue. I waited 14 years before I purchased this little gem (and it took another 2 months to select a colour), it is worth every cent.

You will not regret purchasing the KitchenAid Stand Mixer - it mixes cake batters and cookie/biscuit doughs in very short times. It has changed my baking life for the better! It is very sturdy and easy to clean and use. It is quite heavy to move around, so position it near the place you wish to use in the kitchen. It makes the lightest buttercream icing ever, and again, does so very quickly, and functions very quietly. Your kitchen is not complete without it. A must have for any baker! Well worth the cost.

Still is. Whenever someone walks into my kitchen and, more importantly, tastes my bakes! Read more

I have wanted a KitchenAid mixer for ages and ages and when I could finally afford to buy it, I faced the agonising task of having to make a decision about what colour to choose.
They say that KitchenAid mixers last forever so you had better be happy with the colour you choose - mine was Grape.
I am totally in love with this machine - so much so that my son asked me whether I love it more than him (in case you are wondering, I love him more... maybe).
For someone who bakes so much, it is difficult to understand how I managed without it. It is a silent, wonderful machine that works brilliantly, is easy to operate and makes you feel like a pro.
Now, what to do with all of that cake?
