No customer service

Purchased new mixer in December 2022, the beater chipped the first time I used it, I’ve contacted customer service 4 times since 26 December, still no reply and it’s February. Pathetic! I do not recommend this company or it’s product.

Beautiful piece of machinery

published

Very good quality machine, with strong motor and excellent workmanship.
Would have liked an extra bowl as in for the KSM160 machine, however I choose colour over the extra bowl as it matched my cook processor.
Great capacity bowl for a large family.



Purchased in November 2021 at The Chefs Toolbox for $499.00.

Poor Product

published

Very disappointed in our Kitchenaid mixer. We are lucky to use it once a month and just after 5 years (warranty period) it has failed. It trips the circuit breaker after 3-4 minutes of use. I would have thought that for the amount of money we pay for this product and the amount of use, it would have lasted much longer. Called Kitchenaid direct and said there is nothing they can do because its out of warranty...
My mum has a Kenwood mixer which is over 30 years old, beats the kitchenaid hands down.
I would never buy another kitchenaid branded product again!!!!!

A must have for every kitchen.

published

My new KSM170 kitchen aid stand mixer beats a treat. In no time at all using the 2.5 liter mixing bowl I whipped up a gorgeous pavlova then topped it off with whipped cream beaten up in the same mixer. The family was really impressed and demolished the pavlova in no time at all. The 2.5 and 4.8 litre stainless steel mixing bowls and 4.7litre glass mixing bowl are easily interchanged between the two kitchen stand mixers I currently have in use in my kitchen. My existing mixer has been happily in service in my kitchen for over 20 years giving me no problems at all. I have successfully used the mincing and spiralising attachments with it. The specializing attachment is the best of its type I have seen in the market place.

Don’t know what I was waiting for.

published

Really happy with this product. Put of spending the money and one day bit the bullet.
Least regrettable purchase you’ll ever make. The quality is exceptional. I have the gunmetal grey look one with the glass bowl.
The bowl is dishwasher safe and so easy to clean considering it’s size.
The speeds come in a variety and good amount of options to choose from.
Comes with 3 different attachments - my favourite is the kneader and making pasta has never been easier.

Would highly recommend.

Jammed beater first time used

published

Well the beater is jammed on first use so not happy
What more can I say?
Irritated beyond belief now I have to take it back to shop
I purchased three at the same time so I hope when I now have to open the boxes which were Christmas presents that I can put them back in ant the beaters aren’t jammed

Great Mixer

Purchased this mixer as a present for my partner. It works great and is easy to use. Haven't had any issues with the mixer so far. It also looks great in silver matching all other appliances in the kitchen. Really happy with the product it's a great addition in the kitchen.

Best mixer ever

published

Purchased from Myer Highpoint.Staff very helpful. Product performs a lot better then the previous Smeg. Only comes with glass mixing bowl but the stainless steel bowls were on special so purchased them also. It's very quiet but powerfully. Mixing blades reach the bottom of bowl so you can beat even 1 or 2 eggs comfortably. Amazing mixer. Wife loves her kitchenaid.

Can't imagine my life without it

Excellent product but don't rely on getting through quick if you need customer service .
They were good to talk to after 3 days of long waits on phone.
I rang and rang and waited and waited for ever you get through eventually speaking to a nice young lady who was quick to help.

Love my KitchenAid

published

I've had my KitchenAid Stand Mixer (hot pink) for almost 2 years and I love it. I also have most of the attachments (next purchase will be the pasta maker) and they are great too. Makes food prep much quicker and food items are cut/sliced/diced evenly and consistent throughout.
I enjoy looking on the KitchenAid website for new recipe ideas too! It's a very versatile machine

It's alright

published

I feel as though this mixer doesn't really greatly impact me and my cooking experience. It's is cheaper to get a regular mixer and doesn't really require too much effort. Yes, it is easier to mix because I can set a speed and walk away but I'm not really concerned with having to leave the mixer

KSM170

Are all Kitchen Aid bowls able to be used on the KSM170 mixer? And if not which bowls can be used?

I would think so because it’s the little grooves in the base of the bowl that lock into the mixer. I may be wrong but I can’t see why they would be different

KSM170

Is there a bowl scraper whipping accessory for KSM170
A stainless bowl and pour cover that will fit the stainless bowl.

1 answer

Shanice A

I got a pour cover with my KSM160 and it seems a little big for the large stainless steel bowl so I suppose the one you can purchase from KitchenAid would fit. I know the beating attachment has a scraper on it that you can purchase, not sure if it comes with the KSM170. I didn’t get it with my KSM160
