KitchenAid Reviews

I don't understand how people can overlook any major issue which is not present in much cheaper coffee makers. The spout on the carafe, regardless of how the carafe is placed, leaks steam which collects on the body of the coffee maker and drips all over the place. It sizzles when it contacts the warmer plate, which is an unsettling sound, and it collects on the counter top ... the more time the more water that appears. And the carafe looks just plain goofy to me. I also have the Bunn, which has coffee grounds coverage issues (you will see dry untouched areas if you make a very small pot), the Bunn is a superior product in my opinion.

Kitchenaid claims to have redesigned the carafe lid to reduce the steam, I've ordered one and I'll re-review if the improvements are significant.

I did extensive research before making this purchase (Coffee Geek as well as Amazon reviews) and decided to bite the bullet and spend the money. I am not disappointed, the Pro-Line is everything I hoped it would be. I have not experienced any of the problems a couple of reviewers have mentioned. The machine performs flawlessly, and makes excellent hot coffee. My wife misses not having the option of pouring a cup while the coffee is still brewing, but I understand the reason behind this. My experience with Amazon was excellent, the free shipping was fast, all and all I am very happy with this purchase.

We have found the KPSM100PM to perform as advertized. It's a very robust product that brews an excellent cup of coffee -- but at the premium price it's suppose to.

Overall we are very pleased with the product.

basically said this is an great machine for a good price. not some cheap plastic junk.

I got this mixer to replace a Hamilton-Beach hand/stand mixer I received as a wedding present in 1959 (still running, still working!) because of its good reviews and convenience. I was not disappointed. This mixer stands on my counter, is available all the time, is more powerful, mixes better, runs smoothly. I got some attachments this week for my birthday and hope they will prove to be as satisfactory.

I received this as a wedding gift, along with my Kitchenaid mixer, around 11 months ago. After reading all the reviews I decided I had better try it before my warranty is up if it was in fact going to destroy my mixer. I was extremely nervous about it sticking, about it burning up the motor, about making a complete mess of my kitchen, and about wasting time. Granted I did have my husband helping me, but nevertheless I think it was way easier than others described it, and in the future I think I could do it myself (just turn off the mixer when you need to separate the noodles). You have to follow the instructions exactly-sift the flour, lay the noodles down to separate, etc. But otherwise after a couple of tries we got the hang of it right away. I've never used any other type of pasta maker, and I haven't used the meat grinder, but found this attachment to be much better than others have stated.

The item in itself is quite wonderful with the exception that the wooden food pusher was missing from the food grinder attachment. A replacement was requested but the wrong set was sent, the pasta maker only and not the food grinder which contained the missing part. I gave up as going back and forth to the post office to mail returns is not straight forward. This is not Kitchen Aid's fault of course but the suppliers - Amazon.

That said, the actual pasta maker is excellent, easy to use and clean and makes really good pasta. I prefer to use an Italian cook book for the pasta recipes rather than the booklet which came with it as those recipes seem to be a bit dry. The food grinder part grinds meat quickly and efficiently and again is easy to clean. You do need to make sure you follow the manufacturers instruction and allow any excessive fluid to drain before proceeding. This can cause liquid to work its way into the motor and short it out if ignored.

I bought this product because of its dual function of grinding food and extruding pasta. The thought of having the ability to grind my own meat (always better tasting!)had great appeal to me as well as being able to make fresh pasta. I have used this item for both several times and I am completely satisfied with the grinders ability to grind meat. I have read reviews from some that this function of the grinder was not worth the money or the effort. I disagree. I have had NO PROBLEMS grinding meat. The key is not to overstuff the grinder itself. Cut the meat in strips (not cubes) and, one at a time, place them in the feeder chute and the grinder will feed itself. There is not even any need to "stuff" the meat down into the auger. In other words, follow directions and the grinder plastic housing will not break (no need to even put weight on it!), nothing will back up into the mixerr housing itself, and the meat will not become clogged in the feeder. A little patience will go a long way to adding life to this product.

The pasta plates are a little different story. While it is fun to make different kinds of non-flat noodles, and the dough extrudes just fine through the plates, it is difficult to keep the noodles from sticking together as they come out. I have to say, however, that I had the same problem with my manual pasta roller and cutters. Maybe making homemade pasta is quite an art? I'm starting to think so.

Want to grind meat?? Get this. Want to make pasta?? Beware.

I've had two of these. Despite a great design, the quality is unfortunately seriously flawed.

The coating on the first started to come off after a month of use, despite using appropriate utensils and only hand-washing. I replaced it, and the second was even worse. Since I don't really want Teflon in my food (or bloodstream), that was it. I'm back to All-Clad stainless steel and Calphalon hard-anodized roasters.

I have had my eye on this particular roaster for a couple of years but have never seen a price that even came close to the one I got. I have already used it and love it.

This food processor has a very powerful motor, and can handle all of your chopping needs. It is also very easy to put together and use. I purchased this for the dough making capability and was disappointed because the dough blade was made of plastic and the threads stripped out after 2 months, making it useless. The plastic dough blades do not seem to hold up to the power of the motor, and the kneading action puts a lot of stress on the blade insert where it attaches to the base. Great for chopping, not so great for dough.

This is our first food processor and my wife and I have been sitting on the fence on what size to get. She wanted smaller to save counter space, I wanted larger, just in case... We could not be happier with the 9 cup. It provides the larger motor and greater power that I wanted, yet doesn't take up near the space of a 14 cup. Does everything we want and more. I could not recommend a better choice for a first food processor.

I am prompted to write as a result of what I feel to have been an startlingly good experience with Kitchenaid customer support. I bought the KitchenAid KFP740WH 9-Cup Food Processor seven months ago. I use it regularly but not frequently, and have been quite satisfied with its performance (quiet, powerful; minor overflows with liquids). Yesterday I noticed that the handle was breaking at the bottom of the bowl where it clicks into place. I called Customer Service (ID and phone number were easy to find on the processor; reasonable wait), and within minutes she'd requested a new bowl for me, along with a prepaid label to return the broken one--at no charge. Granted, this is what we all feel should happen when such things happen, but it when it actually did, I was very surprised and relieved and impressed. I am giving it 5 stars: four for the processor, one for the promise kept.

This corer's grip is slippery if your hands are wet. (How often does this happen when you're working in the kitchen?) Also, because of its thin handle, turning the tool is not as easy as it should be.

This is worth the money I have put out for it....very reliable and sturdy

When you're in a hurry, you want your apples coring fast, and this excellent corer from KitchenAid won't disappoint. Made from highest quality faux-enamel the grip is firm, and won't slip. The cubic zirconia sharpened corer blade makes short work of any kind of apple you throw at it - even Coxes Orange Pippins don't stand a chance. The KitchenAid Apple corer will even work on pears!
Higly recommended.
