HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT ONE:

Choosing the right Kitchenaid is different for every person. There are three main questions that you need to answer in your own mind:

What is the largest batch of food that you need to prepare?

What types of dough do you plan to make? Heavy breads that require extended kneading or light cupcake batters?

How low is the clearance on your upper kitchen cabinets, or do you have a stand alone island?

These are important considerations. Both the bowl sizes and the motor sizes vary. This is why you must consider the size and type of batters that you will prepare with your Kitchenaid. The clearance on your kitchen cabinets is important because there is a tilt-head and a bowl-lift model.

I’ve actually owned all three of the models which I am reviewing. I upgraded the first one because the bowl was too small. I upgraded the second one after I moved to a new home. For when I lost my kitchen island, my tilt-head stand mixer was no longer convenient.

So the quest to determine which Kitchenaid stand mixer is the best stand mixer for you begins with answering those three questions.
