One question! At 5:10 when testing bagel dough you have one slow speed when showing the KitchenAid mixer and a really high speed testing the Cuisinart mixer. If you apply the same speed for the KitchenAid mixer, it will also not stay in place (also not the intended speed for mixing bread dough according to the manual). Don´t get me wrong (I own a KitchenAid mixer and it is great) but is this test funded by KitchenAid, and therefore misleading?
Awesome , torque should be is top priority while purchasing dough maker
Kenwood is always the best!!!
I have the kitchen aide classic. I’ve abused the shit out of it for about 10 years now. It’s a champ. However, the tilting head is probably the weak point. I’m always having to pound the retaining pin back in. Small price to pay for my little burro.
.
Kitchen Aid made in Ohio!
Kenwood Chef, tried and tested for over 3 generations in my family, absolute quality!
Give a stand mixer who broke in a review the best choice…huuumm by I got a cook’s illustrated ads in the box of my kitchenaid
I would have liked to see a list, best to absolute worst, and what they failed on 🙁
If you love to bake bread you need a Dough Mixer 🙂
My list (Not based on ATK/America’s Test kitchen)
For Occasions: KitchenAid Classic/Classic Plus 4.5 Qt. Mixer.
For Many Batches: KitchenAid Commercial 8 Qt. Mixer w/out Wire Guard
For Having Multiple Accessories: Breville Bakery Boss 5 Qt. Mixer (BEM825BAL)
For Cheap Price: Hamilton Beach Stand Mixer (Not sure what description is but it is a great deal)
For Home Use: KitchenAid Artisan Design 5 Qt. Stand Mixer (The Bowl doesn’t have any issues unlike the stainless steel one.)
What to Avoid:
Breville Scraper Pro (Not recommended for kneading)
Cuisinart 5.5 Qt./ 7 Qt. Stand Mixer (Loud, Bad Bowl Handle, Bad Beater Quality)
KitchenAid Artisan 5 Qt. Stand Mixer (Bowl has lots of issues)
Vollrath Commercial 8 Qt Stand Mixer (Unlike the KitchenAid Commercial, this mixer is frustrating to use, bad design, small puring chute, and loud)
KitchenAid Pro 600 Design 6 Qt. Stand Mixer (Attachment can’t reach the bowl and noisy.)
I used the Artisan, yes, the bowl is pathetic, but you can buy another bowl.
This was so helpful
What is the best hand mixer?
Those kitchen aids are very different, the small one has an account motor big one has a DC motor and is overall a better built machine, for probably twice the price. Both are great.
She looks like Darlene from Roseanne
Yeah I bought a Pro 600 a few years back. Love it to death – and I paid I believe $339 for it.
Hate KitchenAid mixers! Very expensive and clunky to use. I bought a Kitchenetics K11 or Wondermix. 900 amps, comes with blender and costs about have the money for half the power. I can make 6 loaves of bread at the same time with my mixer! They are sold on ebay… Thats where I bought mine!
What I’d like to see is a face-off btwn KitchenAid 600 Pro and the mid-sized KitchenAid Artisan.
Ankarsrum is expensive, but I only heard excellent comment. That’s what I’ll buy in the near future. You might wish to test it.
As a chef I recommend the KitchenAid.
I love these reviews. I think it needs an update though. I bought the Bosch Maxximum a couple of years ago when I’m special because I read good things about it in German reviews. It’s so good, it prompted me to gift my old Kitchenaid (Artisan) to my brother. He was happy, but I don’t miss it.
While I loved the Kitchenaid and still prefer some things about it, primarily the whisk, the Bosch is so well designed. Importantly for me, the meat mincer attachment is the best mincer I’ve ever owned and the bowl is better and bigger. I don’t really get why this isn’t a more popular machine.
Well! You know which one i’m Buying!?
She may like the Kitchenaid… but I’ve worked on them and the gears in these units are not nearly robust enough and WILL STRIP OUT too often. Look up repairs on Youtube and see for yourself.
3:50, just SHOOK
Anyone else find her delightful and really want to bake with her?
Plastic attachments suck..if you do a lot of bread or dough mixing ide go with her too choice..the little Kitchenaid has a nylon gear that lasts only a couple of years… but still a strong little guy..
I bought the Kitchenaid Artisan since I’ll be mostly using it for myself but i was wondering if i should return it and get the Kitchenaid Pro for $84 extra. America’s Test Kitchen, advise?
Do not buy new Kitchen aids pre1986 ones only better reliability!
OK, a wee bit of back story.
I am the second, of 7 children. Mom had the
old style Bosch Universal, with the larger
stainless steel bowl. (She also had the smaller
bowl, but rarely used it. Did you see 7 kids above?)
The motor is beside the bowl, and has connections
in the base, to drive the attachments. (NOTHING on
the top, to get in the way.) The top was made in 2
pieces, a 2 inch ring on the outside, and a cover that
went in the middle, to cover the whole thing. If you
are making bread, and don’t dump ALL the flour in at
once, you won’t make a mess, using just the ring.
That mixer lasted her, 20 years or so, and I had it
for another 5. Worst thing that happened, were the
whip style beaters getting ruined by making cookie
dough with them, (they got replaced) and the numbers
by the control knob wearing off. Low was about at the
2:o’clock position, high at about 4:00. Momentary on,
backwards at 11:00.
I’ve used Kitchen Aid mixers, from 5 cups, to a commercial
Hobart model. (Army mess hall.) Still, I prefer the Bosch.

El Breville está sobre una base no uniforme por ello tiene más movimiento tiene que estar puesto en una base lisa, así como pusieron las Kitchenaid. mala Review comparativa
what was your opinion of the BOSCH UNIVERSAL PLUS? I’ve been thinking about buying one, my KITCHENAID the one with has the bowl that moves up and down. if i put it in high speed when trying to make bread i have to chase it down and lower speed.
$549? Saw one today online with free shipping for $479 EXCELLENT mixer!
I love this woman! So smart and informative!
3:48 rofl
fantastic video!!!! I love this lady!!!!!!!
thank you i’ve started looking for a stand mixer
Missed Kenwood stand mix.
When you find out yours is their favorite, down to the color! Sigh.
I have the kitchen aid pro. It works great. But I got it on sale for $300 something. I think it was around $360.
I’ve had my KitchenAid mixer for 22 years. My mom has had her KitchenAid mixer for 42 years. Never an issue and it’s takes on everything., and worth every penny.
DO NOT get the kitchenaid mixer – terrible customer service and horrendous build quality, broke in less than 3 years of seldom use
Hey Tuck, About a month ago The US Army in Syria was attacked by 500 mercenaries. The result 200 mercenaries who worked for the Russian firm Wagner were killed. Unfortunately the Russian reporter who interviewed survivors has just been killed by falling off his balcony. Can you please report on this. Thanks

I have had a Kitchen aid 6qt pro lift bowl stand mixer for just over a year now and was so happy when I got it. “wow the things I can do now” I though. well it started hitting the bowl the bowl and adjustments by turning screw on back of mixer did not help. and there is NO ONE close to me who can fix it???? some one told me it may be the the part that hold the rod that spins the paddle has loosened up and needs replaced??? hELP
thank you, we were just looking to replace our stand mi9xer with something a bit bigger. my wife and I bake bread and need a good mixer.
Why not test the Ankarsum?
