I saved for this mixer for six months. Everytime I went to Wal-Mart I would walk down the appliance isle and pray for a sale. My mom had one when I was growing up, so it was a must have for me. Finally after six months of saving my pennies I got to walk down that isle and actually put it in the shopping cart, rather than just admire it on the shelf.
Now that I have it at Home
The minute that I got it home I took it out of the box, washed all of the pieces, and put it together. For dinner that night needless to say we had real mashed potatos. In this house instant just won’t do, and I found it to be a real hassle to make real potatos with my hand mixer because of the bulk. With my new KITHCHEN AIDE STAND MIXER I can make potatos very easily. The head of the mixer locks down as well as the bowl. This is convenient because with the weight of the potatos with a non-locking mixer the bowl can go off balance leaving me with an awful mess to clean up. This feature is great.
I also enjoy the hands free ease this gives me. Now I am free to finish preparation on other dishes while the mixer is mixing. This is a great time saver and has cut down on having to use the microwave as much.
Kitchen Aide has incorporated 10 different levels of speed for different jobs. That is twice as many as my hand mixer. I am not quite sure what i will use the tenth level for yet, but I am working on it.
There are three different attachment heads for the mixer. One is flat, I am not sure how to explain it but the design always reminded me of a stain glassed window in an old church. It also includes a dough hook, I use this for bread and pizza dough. The third selection is a wire whisk, this is perfect when I make a merangue, eggs, or for anything that is mostly liquid.
WHAT ISN’T SO GREAT
As with most anything there are things that aren’t as good as we had originally planned them to be. The bulkiness of the machine is to be expected and I knew that upon purchasing it so that isn’t a huge complaint.
The fact that it is almost impossible to add ingredients while the mixer head is locked down is a drawback. I have overcome this hurdle though. I have a flimsy cutting board that folds to make it easier to pour cut ingredients into a bowl. I simply use this as a “slide” for ingredients that have to be added slowly while mixing. I recommend that you buy something like this if you are thinking of purchasing this stand mixer it makes things a little easier.
Other than that though this has been an excellent addition to my hoard of small kitchen appliances .
