r/Kitchenaid

I’m looking for stainless steel tools for my kitchen aid but I’m not willing to trust the sketchy Amazon options. my coated attachments are already chipping from light use and the dishwasher. so I want something truly dishwasher safe. I don’t want to pay for the expensive 200-180CAD 3 attachment set when I only need the dough hook and paddle.

are the commercial stainless steels (KSMC7QFB and  KA7QCDH) compatible with the KSM70 models like mine? the store told me no but google search (powered by AI so prone to hallucinations) tells me yes.

Bought a used 300W KSM90. It seems to run just fine but while running (about 5-10 minutes) it tripped a GFCI outlet twice. I see that is a common enough occurrence that it was easy to find other instances of it happening.

Walk me through this?

Hi again. With many thanks to the advice last week, especially from u/RIMixerGuy, I successfully exchanged my KA 8qt commercial unit. New one is great!

Question: can I use the bowl from my old KA Professional 600 with this new Commercial unit? It seems to fit, but I don't want to screw something up!

Thanks!

Need your opinions, bought a K5A a few months back as a project. Already did a digrease, clean, regrease, and changed the worm gear complete assembly.

But still struggles a lot with bread dough at 65% hydration

Need ideas of what to do next, or this is the max torque of the mixer

Regards

Hi! Thinking of switching to a lift bowl mixer but I have a small kitchen with low cabinets over my counters. Does anybody know of the 5.5qt mixer is exactly 16.5” or a touch under? My cabinets are sitting at about the same height so not sure if it will just barely clear or if it will hit. I currently have the 4.5qt deluxe tilt head and the top of the head just barely touches and won’t open all the way. I’m guessing that means the bowl lift won’t fit under there but I can’t find measurements for the tilt head online and it’s hard to get an accurate measurement in person that’s precise enough. I’m really starting to make a lot of doughs and the tilt head is new and already struggling so I think the lift will be best but obviously not if I don’t have the space for it lol

Thanks in advance!

Hi there! I recently discovered that refurbished Kitchenaid stand mixers are decently priced and I've been considering getting one for my wife's birthday. However its 10 days away! She has a tilt head (classic I think) that is about 15 years old and showing its age a bit. She complains about it and says she wants a better mixer. She doesn't really do a ton of baking. Maybe a couple times a month, but during Christmas it definitely gets more use.

I want to get her dream mixer, but can't really afford a new one. So refurb it is. However, I also wanted to try to get a color she would, but availability is limited. Currently looking at the Agave colored 5.5 Bowl-Lift. It should arrive in time. My question is, is this enough of an upgrade that she will be satisfied with it?

And does anyone have any recommendations on mixer attachments that would be dishwasher safe? The paddles, not accessories that attach to the front i mean. We also have a small kitchen, so I'm also thinking going bigger would take up too much space. Thanks in advance!

Looking for BIFL-like stand mixer (used or new) for under $300, ideally self-serviceable with replaceable parts. Otherwise, a stand mixer at really great value. It's intended for 1-2 people but I do meal prep. I believe a KitchenAid can handle anything except bread (at least tough bread dough, though to be honest I probably won't be making any bread) so it should be avoided? It'd be for cookies and cheesecake for now, not sure if it's suitable for turning pork shoulder to ground pork with an attachment.

Brief search and it seems suggests DC motor and lift bowl are signs of a good one but that new KitchenAids are worse than ever? Not sure how to shop for a used one in Facebook Marketplace (examples of models and prices to expect for a used one?). This $200 one from Costco seems attractive even if it isn't BIFL-like.

Any tips, recommendations, and other considerations are much appreciated.

Hi everyone! I am looking to buy a ceramic cookware set from Kitchenaid, but saw that the colors options seem to be Porcelain, Cardamom, or Agave. I already have a substantial amount of kitchenware from Kitchenaid in the Pistachio color (which I love). Does anyone know if Cardamom and Pistachio are exact matches? I am worried that if the two greens are slightly off, I should get the more neutral Porcelain color instead… Please let me know if anyone has had the opportunity to compare these colors!
