KitchenAid Reviews

Mr. Coffee is average in my book. This remake of the notorious "pause and Pour" Kitchen Aid model (pause while I pour coffee all over your counter)is slightly better than Mr.C.
I am shopping for another coffee pot because:
a.) this one is messy.
b.) the carafe never yields your measured amount of coffee since a good portion of water remains with the grounds.

Perfect for the bachelor or college student. You can cook anything you want on the grill and the toaster is a must. The only drawback is the size, but if you're cooking for yourself this should be perfect.

This set usually only comes around once a year and every year I grab it as it is a quality deal. For a gift or personal use this grill does it all. Hold 2 average sized burgers and grills everything else reasonably well. The toaster is an average good one and having the water warmer is an extra plus although I only use it once a year. The big deal here is the price so go for it.

This set is great I bought it for a gift and I wish I had ordered two sets I am waiting for it to go on sale again so I can order one for myself and a few as gifts.

I've read a lot of kitchenaid mixer reviews complaining about the gears being made of plastic and getting messed up pretty easily. I've noticed recently that all of the tags on these in the store make a very visable point that the gears are steel. Has anyone had any gear problems with the all steel model?

After using an Artisan model that finally died after more than twenty years of service, we only considered KitchenAid for our next mixer and "stepped up" to the Professional series. The initial problems we encountered when first using the new mixer were all because I failed to fully read the instructions. The customer service person on the toll free number was very kind, despite the fact that the answers to the questions I asked were in the manual. The gear issues mentioned by others have not created any problems after a year of use. Here's to hoping we get another twenty years out of a KitchenAid.

I was given this mixer for Christmas after yearning for one (apparently rather loudly) for many months. I pulled the beautiful machine out of the box (good workout) and looked at it reverently, then set about mixing up a loaf of bread. Normally I'm the sort of person who reads directions, etc. I did read and follow the directions on mixing bread dough, but for some unknown reason the bowl rocked and bumped and banged on its hinges, and I thought, "what a ridiculous design! This can't be right!" I was getting ready to call up the company when I thought to read through a few of these reviews and got to one MANY reviews down that sighed over the fact that people blame the machine for loud noises coming from the bowl when in fact they simply have not read the directions properly. Ding! The bowl does fit down over two knobs on the sides, but this does not hold it stable. There is a simple locking mechanism at the back, in the middle of the bowl. After reading the review, I ran into the kitchen, snapped the thing into place, and now it's as solid as you please. Needless to say, I'm feeling quite silly, but I am generally a relatively intelligent person, so thought perhaps others could use a tip on this point. Sigh.
