For most people, the best Kitchenaid stand mixer is the KitchenAid Artisan Series Stand mixers. The reason is usually because it has the power to knead a loaf of bread, while being small enough to fit comfortably on the counter. With an ideal capacity, tons of clever attachments, and robust functionality, the Artisan is the best-selling KitchenAid mixer and we can see why. KitchenAid has been making stand mixers since 1919. That’s almost a hundred years to perfect stand mixing technology (and come up with fun new colors). As a result, KitchenAid products have become the standard in the industry. Any of the KitchenAid mixer models can accomplish kneading, blending, creaming, and whipping. The real differences are size, power, and price. The number of mixers KitchenAid offers may seem overwhelming at first, but for most people the choice will really be between four models: the Classic, the Artisan, the Pro 600, and the Professional 6500 series. KitchenAid mixer reviews surface plenty to love about each one.
