KitchenAid KV25G0X

Pros: Reasonably strong, easy to clean, affordable, great quality.

Cons: Slightly noisier than their older models, but that's due to the metal gearing.

The Bottom Line: Are those cinnamon rolls at Cinnabon that you can't get enough of costing you too much money? Buy this and make as many as you want for a lot less!

Review: The KitchenAid Pro 5 Plus is one of the newer models with the spiral dough hook. It draws 450 watts, and has a "flour power rating" of 12 cups (of all purpose flour) according to KitchenAid. The dough hook and flat beater came with a white enameled ...

Pros: Hands free mixing!!!!

Cons: Very large, overtakes my kitchen!!

The Bottom Line: Buy one and do not be afraid of refurbished. It will last for over 20 years and it will be the last mixer you'll need!

Review: I bought my Kitchen Aid Mixer refurbished off Amazon for $162.00 plus free shipping. It came about 10 days earlier than I expected and it has been great. Refurbished has a six month warranty but hey I can bake and mix a lot of foods in six months. ...

Pros: Great look, comes in an assortment of colors. Good quality.

Cons: It is expensive, kinda heavy, and not really practical for everyday use.

The Bottom Line: I love this product and I would recommend to anyone who loves to bake!

Review: My family has always used Kitchen Aid mixers so naturally, it was one of the first items I placed on my wedding registry. We are so pleased with our mixer. It's a good quality piece of machinery and it looks beautiful in the kitchen! We got it in Ice ...

Pros: Tough as nails, powerful, mixes everything from meringues to stiff cookies doughs very well.

Cons: Large, takes alot of space, expensive but worth it.

The Bottom Line: If you like to cook and/or bake, this is one appliance you really need!

Review: All I can say is I love my KitchenAid Mixer! This was a gift from my aunt and let me say that she is now my favorite aunt! This mixer is very sturdy. I have used it for everything from mashing potatoes to mixing stiff cookie dough and it never ...

Pros: Hands free baking.

Cons: None that I can think of

Review: I got this as a Christmas present last year and I have used it so many times since then, that it was definitely worth the price that was paid for it. It is so helpful especially when I bake a lot for school, work and holidays. I have not had one problem ...

Pros: able to knead bread dough planetary mixing motion

Cons: beater cannot reach every inch of the bowl

Review: I love my mixer so much. I use it for everything I can in the kitchen. It has been able to handle everything I could throw at it. I love being able to walk away while it's mixing bread dough or meringue. Also, the planetary mixing motion (the beater ...

Pros: Big, powerful, fast; love the new spiral power dough hook.

Cons: None so far, wish there were other colors though.

Review: Finally, the mixer of my dreams! Passed on the larger 6 qt mixer and the 5 qt Pro is more than adequate. First day I made French bread, whole wheat bread and zucchini cake... IF one follows the KitchenAid guidelines, things should be fine. The ...

Pros: Sturdy, great for attachments, mixes well, long-lasting brand name

Cons: Hard to add ingredients, motor or safety gear may fail

The Bottom Line: This is a superior model to the Artisan line, with the power to do more, but perhaps not built all-around to handle it. For attachments, though, it can't be beat.

Review: I got a great deal on this Kitchenaid Professional 450 Watt 5 quart stand mixer this past holiday season, so I went ahead and picked one up. I hadn't really been planning on it just yet, since I don't have the kitchen I'd like to keep this on permanent ...

Pros: Nice addition to kitchen decor. Very happy with its versatility and how it works.

Cons: Has a slightly hard job mixing whole wheat dough.

The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend this product.  Looks great with any decor and works extremely well for all your baking needs.

Review: This is a product that I was considering purchasing for a long time trying to weigh the pros and cons of spending the money on it. I finally broke down and bought it and I have owned this product for over a year now and am very happy with my purchase. I ...

Pros: Great brand, looks, colors, all-metal transmission, speed controller, sturdy metal construction, attachment variety.

Cons: Plastic gearbox can crack or melt, negating metal transmission benefit; gets scorchingly hot while mixing.

The Bottom Line: A well built product, with a fundamental design flaw that leads to premature product failure. This one is going back to the store.

Review: I am so disappointed. This is a terrible way to start a review, especially of a product I was so excited to purchase. I believe KitchenAid has a hard-earned reputation for quality, that they are squandering today due to the use of a poor quality ...
