Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid KSM90PS 300-Watt Ultra Power 4-1/2-Quart Stand Mixer, Cobalt BlueCustomer Review: Can't live without it Summary: 5 Stars
This is the one appliance in my kitchen I could not live without. I use it for everything, and it has never failed me. I've had mine 17 years and it still works as good as the day I took it out of the box. I vaguely remember (it was a long time ago) using other mixers, and none can compare with ease of use or versatility. Pros: Can mix virtually anything. I use mine mostly for bread, cookies, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, or cakes/brownies. Frosting is a snap. Weight keeps it from bouncing around on the counter when mixing large batches of dough. Easy to clean. Looks. Not that I care, even if it was hideously ugly I'd keep it on my countertop, but it's not and at 17 years, mine still looks new. Ease of use. I don't worry when my kids want to use it that a part will fly off, or they'll stick their hand in when scraping the bowl (since you don't need to scrape the bowl). Cons: Not easy to move around, it's heavy. But look at it this way, you get a workout which makes it OK to eat what you've made. This model limits you to 2 loaves of bread at a time, and once you realize how easy it is to make delicious bread you may wish you'd sprung for the larger model. Accessory suggestions: An extra bowl. Comes in very handy when making something that requires several stages of mixing. The flour guard (I'm sure there is an actual name for this). Makes adding flour during kneading or mixing easier and neater. The only thing you really need to think about before making this purchase is which size you want and what color you like. Highly recommended, you will not ever regret it. Life is short, live it up!
Description of KitchenAid KSM90PS 300-Watt Ultra Power 4-1/2-Quart Stand Mixer, Cobalt BlueKitchenAid's stand mixer is a substantial piece of equipment: 300 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. This model also includes a pouring shield for guiding ingredients to their proper destination, and 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
