Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid KSM90PSWH 300-Watt Ultra Power 4-1/2-Quart Stand Mixer, White

Customer Review: I love this mixer
Summary: 5 Stars

I loved the fact I could get it in blue. Silly thing like color but I wanted to leave it on my counter and I like blue.

I bought mine on sale and I thought was pretty pricey then, but since I have opted to leave it on my counter, it gets alot of use, much more than one that would be stuffed in some cupboard that was tricky to use.

One thing that makes it such an attractive feature on the counter is its design. It has no fussy little buttons or features that would be hard to keep clean with frequent use. You have two levers one for speed and one to lock the bowl down. There is easy cleaning of its smooth lacquered metal surface.

I use my mixer at least 2 times a week. Usually for mashed potatoes and cookie dough. Occassionally, I have made bread in it and [supposedly] that is the real test of a mixer. It worked fine for me, but I'm really not a judge when it comes to bread.

This mixer works without the threat of wobbling off the counter. You can leave it at high speed without concerning yourself that it will self-destruct. I broke another brand big mixer about the same price as this one, by not holding it down while mixing chocolate chip cookie dough. I turned for a second and it rocketed off a counter and broke on the floor. Not just the bowl but the cheap plastic mixer housing. I think this Kitchaid mixer is a tank of a mixer and I would bet I'll be making cookies for my grandkids with it.

I feel this mixer is well designed because of its efficiency of mixing. It never has spots on the bottom it misses and if it is a dough it effectively gets all the ingredients involved. You have to do very little scraping down.

I have never used any of the other attachments out there, but I think it is really neat to have that option. I plan on trying some in the future. They have a pasta making one and a grinder one, I'm interested in.

I had to buy the pouring shield separate for my mixer, but it is is worth every penny....

I am also considering buying an extra bowl as mine are often in the dishwasher due to the often use.

If you are considering this mixer, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Description of KitchenAid KSM90PSWH 300-Watt Ultra Power 4-1/2-Quart Stand Mixer, White

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
