Costco had a 4.5 qt Ultrapower Plus mixer on clearance for $150, which I bought. It has a pouring shield and a bowl with a handle.

The weight of the bowl can be a problem for some. The SS are fairly
light for their size.

The mixer you have should get the job done. For at least some models KS
now offers a beater with a rubber side. If not available for yours, get
a Better Beater and it will do a great job of mixing anything.

I have the big one with a SS bowl and I love it.

I agree. See if you can find one on eBay that is a Hobart or from an estate sale and it was made in the 70's. I don't trust the new Kitchenaid products. They have plastic parts instead of metal parts and they are built to break.

Especially if you are a breadmaker, don't get a new Kitchenaid. Get a good old one and have it cleaned up and new brushes etc. It will last a lifetime.

Try here for the facts:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KitchenAid
Some Kitchenaid products are made in China. Much is made in the US
(see article). Kitchenaid mixers use die-cast parts.
My current KA is 10 years old and basically does bread dough and
occasionally it used to do cookies. The same was true of my 30 yo KA
that I gave to my daughter.
I haven't had any trouble with my machines.

Good to know, and thank you.

But for six years, Kitchenaid weas cheap Chinese JUNK!! And that terse article said they were moving only their mixer manufactiriong back to the U.S.! What about their Kitchenaid A9 Coffee Mills, which I had to buy an old 1940's model made in Troy Ohio off Ebay to avoid the cheap Chinese JUNK syndrome?

I got the 6 quart 2 years ago it is ok.

I would love to have the Professional one. Cost is a factor. Maybe Ill get it when my kids are older and I bake to give away 😉. Right now I believe this may be good enough. Although cost is a factor, I make a habit of buying the best quality for my needs. I do believe in buying quality and feeling the pain once, as opposed to buying cheap over and over. I have a Vitamix that was very expensive, but I dont regret the purchase. I use it often. I have a magic bullet that was cheap, but I do regret the purchase because it doesnt do what I want it to, and cleanup is tedious with all those rubber seals. Its wasted money because I rarely used it. I think this 4.5 qt is a good fit because its smaller size fits very well in my kitchen. The smaller bowl is easy and quick to clean. And finally, although the tilt head MAY not last as long as a professional, its ease of use may make it an appliance I wouldnt hesitate to use on a whim, especially small amounts of whip cream and such. I also feel since Im usually only feeding my small family, I would not WANT to make dozens of cookies or many loafs of bread at once. Fresh is best, so baking smaller amounts more often is better for my family... At least, this was my reasoning ˜º

I bought the 600w KA Artisan, it came with two steel bowls, the pour shield, bread hook, and the usual mix paddle $269. It's seen alot of use over the years, still using weekly.

I don't have one, but DD does. I wasn't impressed enough to go off
and buy one for myself after I used it, but it does keep flour dust
inside the bowl where it belongs.

Hello,

You can check this article: https://betterfood.co/which-kitchenaid-mixer-to-buy/
It is discussing exactly the same question..

I have the five quart one with bowl lift (not tilt-head) which I bought in the early 90s.
I used to use it quite a bit but not anymore since I am unable to spend much time
in the kitchen. But I wonder why all the cooking competitions use ones with glass
bowls, and when I tried to find a glass bowl like those, I couldn't find one. Not with
the KA brand anyway. But it would be just a wasteful purchase now, since my mixer
isn't used much.

They're pretty much everywhere, but I don't really see the point. I was
watching a holiday baking competition recently and one of the contestants
broke a large chip out of the KA glass bowl which ruined his recipe of
course. These days I don't make many large amounts, so usually just use the
hand mixer.

I don't do much baking anymore. I got rid of my stand mixer more than
ten years ago, it just took up counter space and was something to
dust. I get by just fine with a Kitchenaid hand mixer, used mostly
for my dozen egg omelets and an occasional cake.

Same here and when I make pastry, I just make 'rough puff' pastry. Easy
stuff and we like it.

I rarely get my big mixer out.

Mine sits under the counter next to the basket that holds the toaster etc
Easy to lift out if I need it but .... )

What I keep on my counter changes occasionally. Just now it is a small
rotisserie oven, a yoghurt maker and a air fryer; on the other side, my

On mine is small toaster oven, cuisinart fp, can opener, and Nutri-Bullet.
On the other side is KA, large toaster oven, halogen oven, MW (on separate
stand) and Power Grill.

Not really, I'm not big on things changed around in my kitchen. Sometimes at
Christmas to make room for a small tree etc. I will move things, but not
often.

On one side is a bread box, not for bread, for hiding stuff from the
cats... also a knife block, and an electric water kettle. On the
other side is the compost pail, a microwave, a cannister for wooden
spoons, the coffee maker, a bread toaster, and a wine bottle filled
with olive oil.

Not really, I'm not big on things changed around in my kitchen. Sometimes at
Christmas to make room for a small tree etc. I will move things, but not
often.

Mine has got a lot of use over the last few days as I bake stuff for my
son's family in BC. I made a batch of pastry this morning in the FP
where it's much faster and more thorough (I think).

I have a large bowl with cover that sits on top of the small toaster oven
for compost.

Yes, you're much more ambitious than me at the moment. Lucky son's family! I
do love using the FP for pie pastry, cookies, etc.

Mine is always out, because if I had to drag it out of storage - I wouldn't.
I don't use it everyday, but it does get used at least 2 or 3 times a
week, sometimes more.
