Kitchen Aid mixer advice.

My wife is a hell of a baker.
She spends as much time baking as I do growing.
Her old gE plastic stand up mixer couldn't hang an died.
So I figured I'd get her a new kitchen aid mixer.

Anyone here know if they are worth the money over say a quisianrt?

Would the cheepo kitchen aid & 4 quart bowl be a good choice for home baking?

Can it Handel bread dough?

Or should I get a better model?

Is the pink colord one the best as she tells me?
Lol

thanks y'all.

Yes Kitchen aids are a great choice , They are industerial grade mixers and usually will outlast the owners when taken care off . They also have a ton of atachments that eazly atach to the machine makes them very versital

If you look into any commerical kitcken you are likely to see kitchen aid mixers -- I think that statment speaks for its self



The mixers will handle just about anything you can throw in their , just go check one out the machine is solid the bowl locks in securely , Bread dough will be no problem

The machine also makes a fine "bubble'' agigation device

i cant tell you how much i love my new kitchen aid mixer best thing ive ever gotten works wonderfully love the color choices and its awesome.
if she bakes a lot buy it.
you can also get several attachements the next one i want is a grinder for hops
it works great for bread and other doughs not much it cant do when it comes to mixing
the color of the mixer isnt any different than the standard white or black ones when it comes to how it works mines green cause well i love green

Alternatively, there is also the 'classic' model, that's not as heavy duty/ not quite as powerful, but will still take pasta attachments/others on the front, and is more than powerful enough for 99% of home bakers.

But if you can swing the extra money, I'd go with the artisan model like sunni suggested! They're pimp sauce.

my mommies bought it for me for my birthday lol

I got one for my daughter last year with most of the attachments, she loves it. Go to eBay and shop around, I saved about $200 and had a little fun bidding.

Buy it!!!!! I've had my Kitchenaid mixer for 24 years -- when it got it as a wedding present. It still looks and works perfectly. It has outlasted the marriage by more than a decade -- ha!

I also had a fancy Cuisinart (one of the old school types), and I found I didn't use it as much as the Kitchenaid. It wasn't as pretty, so I had it up in the cupboard, not on the counter, and all those accessories were difficult to store.

If she wants the pink one, get it! That's adorable.

Sunni -- I LOVE that light green color. When my dark green mixer dies in 20 years or so, I will certainly upgrade to the light green one.
