KitchenAid Stand Mixers – K45SS Classic 250-Watt 4-1/2-Quart

KitchenAid’s stand mixer is a substantial piece of equipment: 250 watts of mixing power make child’s play of creaming butter, kneading dough, and whipping cream. The kid in you will appreciate how quick and easy it is to mix up a batch of cookie dough; the 4-1/2-quart bowl can hold up to 8 cups of flour, which translates into as many as 192 sweet treats.

This model comes with three attachments: a flat beater for making batter, meat loaf, and all textures in-between; a wire whip for egg whites, mayonnaise, and more air-infused creations; and a hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs. All three are solid in construction and easily secured to the beater shaft with a simple twist; untwisting them is a bit trickier because the attachment stems are short and can be hard to grasp, especially if they get the least bit greasy.

The bowl itself locks tight to the base. Standing 14 inches high, jutting out a foot, and weighing more than a grown woman’s bowling ball, this stand mixer isn’t the sort of appliance you’ll wipe down and put away. Better to find a square foot of free counter space for easy access; besides, this machine is as pretty as it is rugged–you’ll want to show it off. To complete the package, KitchenAid includes a spiral-bound guide with instructions, mixing tips, and 67 recipes, from crispy waffles to a caramel walnut banana torte. –Betsy Danheim

KitchenAid Stand Mixers – KSM100PSWW Ultra Power Plus 4-1/2-Quart with Pouring Shield, White

Combining a resilient 300-watt motor with a heavy-duty transmission, this powerful stand mixer can handle the heaviest mixtures and mix large batches easily. The unit’s 10-speed slide control ranges from a very fast whip to a very slow stir, while its 67-point planetary mixing action moves the beater clockwise and the shaft counterclockwise, enabling the beater to reach every area and mix ingredients thoroughly with no need to rotate the bowl.

In addition, the stand mixer’s large 4-1/2-quart stainless-steel bowl features an ergonomically designed handle that is contoured for comfort, and its tilt-up head allows clear access to the beaters and bowl. The unit’s one-piece pouring shield prevents ingredient splatter and makes it simple to add ingredients when the mixer is in use. Three mixing tools are also included for specific baking needs.

The C-shaped dough hook makes mixing and kneading quick and effortless; the wire whip produces a light, fluffy texture; and the nonstick flat beater increases efficiency and reduces beating time. Dishwasher-safe bowl and beaters make cleanup a snap. Designed with a solid, all-metal base, the stand mixer measures approximately 14 by 9 by 14 inches and carries a one-year hassle-free replacement warranty.
