Many of you are wondering whether it’s worth buying a Kitchen Aid stand mixer or not. Many of you would buy it without thinking twice if it weren’t for the high price. It’s true, a stand mixer is a big investment. That’s why I wanted to share my opinion, trying to be brief and give what I consider the key points when deciding. It’s an opinion, I believe, sensible, and nothing more than that.
The basis of the decision lies in whether you enjoy baking or not. If the answer is yes, it’s worth considering. It offers many advantages in that area, such as power and consistency in the different mixing, kneading, and whipping functions. That’s no small thing: the machine’s power (not comparable to others due to its characteristics) allows it to knead very dense mixtures without overheating and for long periods.
The fact of being able to knead or mix with the right, continuous, and even power ensures better results than manual work in most cases.
But there are other advantages I find very important: being able to add ingredients and let it do the work allows you to prepare recipes while you do other things in the kitchen. It’s also a very clean machine, and the bowl itself has no corners or edges, making it very easy to clean. Besides, you only dirty the attachments and the bowl, but your kitchen stays clean.
For me these aspects (power and consistency, convenience and cleanliness) are the most important. If you like making cakes and cookies and can afford it, it’s definitely worth it. And I say "definitely" because every single customer who has bought one and whom I’ve spoken with is delighted with the purchase — they don’t know what they would do without it. We shouldn’t forget that it’s a machine that looks great in the kitchen, and it’s so exciting that seeing it there every day makes you want to use it, and you get a lot of use out of it.

Hasta ahora utilizaba la thermomix para la reposteria, pero una vez me he comprado la kitchenaid , veo que la diferencia es grande , no hay comparación. Para amortizarla mas la estoy complementando poco a poco con accesorios, de momento tengo ya el procesador de alimentos, la licuacora y el exprimidor . No son baratos pero son sólidos y funcionan muy bien .
