Mixing it up in the Kitchen has never been easier with a hand or free standing mixer from KitchenAid. Breads, cakes, and cupcakes are as easy as pie – dough, and arms and hands are free for other daily workouts. The only real concern becomes, which type of KitchenAid mixer will best suite your needs.
KitchenAid Artisan hand mixer features a powerful motor to handle heavy-duty tasks with ease. It is ideal for mixing heavy cookie dough or any other dough you can think of. Easy on the arms, some of it’s features include, but are not limited to: 7 speeds including Soft Start and 2 Slow Stir speeds for greater control, heel rest provides stability when mixer not in use, and what cook wouldn’t be excited by the self-cleaning stainless steel Turbo Beater to help prevent clogging! If all that was not enough, you can choose the color to match your kitchen!
KitchenAid mixers don’t begin and stop at seven speeds. The Artisan is the middle child of available mixers. The Classic, for instance is the baby of the group at a mere three speeds while if it is “Ultra Power” you desire, the five speed of the same name could do the trick. If mixing it up in the kitchen is really your thing, the nine speed “Professional” mixer might be the best choice.
Economically hand held mixers tend to cost a bit less than the larger free standing mixers we will look at later. Three speed mixers tend to cost as much as 49.99, although KitchenAid appliances can be located for a less. The Price of subsequent speed increase, like your speed on the highway traffic ticket, goes up as you go faster. As you accelerate your kitchen appliance to a nine speed KitchenAid mixer, you could be looking at a price tag of around 89.99.
We all know cooking and baking can be a drag sometimes. Certainly standing over your bowl of ingredients and holding on to a mixer can take a bite out of precious time before others get to take a bite of your delicious end result. Free standing mixers are the solution for cooks who have better things to do than stand over their mixer, mixing. As with the hand mixers there are a variety to choose from.
Free standing mixers tend to come in sizes of 4.5 quart, five or six quart and offer a tilt-head, tip back for bowl retrieval or a bowl lift. Personal taste, preferences and needs are going to be the motivating factor behind which type is for you. The good news is that besides the varying sizes, free standing KitchenAid mixers also come in different styles and colors for that kitchen matching issue.
Price is always a consideration when purchasing any household item and if a free standing KitchenAid mixer is must for you the cost should be of no surprise. The tilt-head mixers tend to cost less than those featuring a bowl lift. In the 4.5 quart size range those prices tend to fall between 199.99 to the 280’s. Up a half size to the five quart we find the price shifting upwards from about 299.99 to 350 dollars. The higher end of the scale is of course the biggest of the bunch with the six quart weighing in at approximately 399.99.
When it comes to KitchenAid mixers it’s good to know there is a wide variety and anyone who can cook or back is sure to find the perfect items for their cooking needs. Knowing what’s available is the first step in mixing it all together.
