KitchenAidClassic Series 4.5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer K45SS, Onyx Black

Top notch. Ask anyone. I got this for my wife about a year ago and she cannot stop raving about it. For her it’s so convenient and she can make things she never made before because it was too difficult to mix by hand. Cleaning is a breeze and has a lot of power.

I used the mixer for the first time today to whip cream. It performed the task like a champ. I am glad that I bought this mixer.

Extremely well made. Heavy duty mixer that can handle any mixing task

The product is great! It is a replacement for one that I had for over 20 years. HOWEVER, the one I received this afternoon did not have a bowl with a handle on it! The picture on the product info showed a bowl with handle! I don't want to return just to replace the bowl. Please send me a bowl with a handle! Thank You, Jackie Quarto

I am amazed by this kitchen appliance! It has made such a difference in our cooking routine. Since I surprised my wife with it a year ago, she can't stop praising it. The convenience it offers is unmatched, enabling her to whip up dishes she never dared to try before due to the tedious hand-mixing process. Cleanup is a breeze, and the power it packs is truly impressive. I highly recommend this fantastic appliance!

Late birthday present to myself! I really want to cook and bake more so this was a big deal for me. I debated whether I wanted the artisan or the classic and I chose the classic because I read a Reddit post that basically said the both were the same. Not much difference in functionality. The parts are interchangeable. The biggest difference I see is the classic does not have a handle on the bowl and it only come with one bowl. The artisan comes with two. But I can always buy extra bowls if I want. I can’t wait to buy all the attachments!

I recently purchased the **KitchenAid Classic Series 4.5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer** in **Onyx Black**, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with this purchase!

This mixer happened to have been on sale and thanks to Amazon and Affirm. I was able to get something. I wanted my whole life, but could never afford outright… The only issue I had was that it came in Styrofoam, which appeared as if it should’ve come with more attachments, but having looked it up I found out that it only came with three basic attachments and the other things you’ll have to buy along the way. I had a little bit of trouble securing the whisk and figuring out how to do that but I’m using it today for the first time and I just keep looking at it like it’s a mirage because like I said, I never thought I’d be able to afford to have a KitchenAid Mixer. I had my mother’s mixer from the 1920s and I was using that in back then that brand was comparable to a KitchenAid mixer is today… And it worked great until my former boyfriend broke all the bowls that it came with and at the time those were opaque, white glass bowls, and they came in three different sizes and then the motor started to go so it was time to retire for good. But I’ve had a KitchenAid toaster oven for 12 years and it’s been a great asset to my life. So I trust the KitchenAid brand they always make quality products. That’s why they’re the price that they are. They’re built to last a lifetime. So so far I have nothing but good things to say I got a black one and it doesn’t have a scratch on it , it looks beautiful on my counter. I’m trying to die right now and has bought a couple of vegetarian cookbooks and I’m looking forward to using this mixer and making different things with it. Having a device like this in the type of attachments you can buy open up to be able to make all different kinds of dishes instead of , relying on things that are already made that you have to buy. Someone who has a lot of health problems so I’m trying to change the way I eat and control the things I put in my body and making them from scratch. I think it’s a great way to do that and this mixer is also going to Aid in this quest. I am so glad I bought it. It was packaged very securely. It didn’t appear to be something that had been purchased before and returned. It was obviously brand new and it was a box within a box within a box, they packaged it very carefully. Just make sure when you open your box you should have a manual. You should have a piece of paper that allows you to register register your device either by your phone or by mail, and then I think there’s another piece of paper that has other information on it but hold onto all of your paperwork. That’s always important just in case something goes wrong. I’m going to break down the KitchenAid box and get rid of the Styrofoam, but I’ll hold onto the box just in case I have any issue, but I don’t anticipate having any problems with it. I’ve owned KitchenAid items before and never had to return them or even have them service so I’m hoping that this will be the case here as well. If you’re like debating whether you should get it, I would take advantage of the sale because even $70 is a huge amount of money for someone like me and that was what got me to finally just decide to finance it and , get this mixer for myself. I have no regrets and I would recommend it to anyone out there looking for the best. Because KitchenAid is the best.
