Hi Paula,

I can confirm there is a pouring shield for your mixer. Unfortunately, we are out of stock of the part. If you let me know your email address I could add you to our back order system for when we have more in stock.

Thank you

Hi Mick
It should, but I'd check the Kitchen maid website or call their helpline. Alternatively check at the retailer.

If I were you I would just ring your local Kitchenaide seller as they would put you on the right track.

Hi,
I get this question a lot in my job (kitchenware retailer). It is my understanding that in fact wattage does not directly correlate to power, contrary to popular opinion. Because of the low wattage, it is much more energy efficient than its competition. And the reason that it can perform as well as it does with just 300 Watts is that the motor is in the head of the mixer - directly above the bowl - rather than in the side of the stand like most stand mixers. This means it needs a lot less power to move the mixer.
Hope this helps!

Many thanks

Partly brand name and partly because they are a solid build. Most components are fabricated in the USA, some do come from China. They are assembled and refined in the USA.

The attachments are also another reason, it can perform a dozen other functions if you add the extra bits and pieces. For example I've been using the Food Slicer to shave Ice and give the kids Snow Cones. Sadly I've been eating a lot more Ice Cream than I ever did before, now that I make my own.

I've whipped up Loaves of bread close to 1KG and it's pulled through. I also made 3 ginger bread houses recently for Christmas in one batch.

If you think you'll use it for some heady duty tasks, want the convenience of a stand mixer and don't mind paying a little bit extra for what many believe is the 'gold standard' in home mixers, then the KA is a really good choice. If you wont be making big sticky things that need a lot of horse power to mix you might be better off with a smaller cheaper alternative. A lot of people quite like the Cuisinart and they have pretty good reviews.

As far as negative comments go, most people will only pipe up about negative experiences, very rarely will people go out of their way to praise.

Whichever way you go, I hope you get many years of use and joy out of your mixer!
Regards,
Adrian

Thanks, really want a Kitchenaid so will save up

If you look after your kitchenaid you should have it for many years, and even pass it on to younger family members. That's why they (and the Kenwood Chef) are so pricey. The other reason is the capacity for attachments.

If you don't use a mixer a lot, or you're only whipping up the odd batch of cupcakes for a bake sale, it's not worth it. But now I have mine, I bake all the time and it's a true workhorse of my kitchen. Its kind of how a screwdriver is much much cheaper than a drill - depends what and how often as to which is actually the better investment.
