The deeper stainless bowl is an improvement over my previous one. I think this higher capacity bowl will be easier to use when baking large batches of cookies. Unfortunately it does not have a handle. It’s easy to clean, easy to change speeds, and was available in white. The noise level is a bit higher than expected in a new machine…but not so loud at to be a bother. I was able to use the splatter shields from my previous KitchenAide mixer.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2025Color: Onyx BlackStyle: MixerVerified PurchaseI recently purchased the **KitchenAid Classic Series 4.5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer** in **Onyx Black**, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with this purchase! This mixer has quickly become my go-to kitchen tool, and it’s truly a game-changer for both novice bakers and seasoned pros.
The **4.5-quart capacity** is perfect for most recipes, whether I'm whipping up a batch of cookies or kneading dough for bread. It can easily handle smaller and medium-sized batches, and the tilt-head design makes adding ingredients or scraping the bowl a breeze. The **Onyx Black** color is sleek and modern, adding a stylish touch to my kitchen.
One of my favorite features is the **powerful motor**—it effortlessly mixes even thick doughs or heavy batters without slowing down. The included attachments (flat beater, dough hook, and wire whip) are versatile and handle a variety of tasks, from mixing to whipping to kneading, and they’re easy to swap out. Cleanup is simple too; everything is easy to remove and wash, and the bowl is dishwasher-safe.
While the **KitchenAid Classic Series** is considered their entry-level stand mixer, it’s incredibly durable and capable. It provides the reliability and performance you'd expect from a KitchenAid at a more accessible price point.
Overall, the **K45SS Stand Mixer** is a must-have for anyone looking to elevate their baking game. It’s durable, efficient, and stylish—plus, the variety of attachments and ease of use make it an invaluable tool in my kitchen. Highly recommend!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2023Color: WhiteStyle: MixerVerified PurchaseI finally got a chance to make something with it. I made Toll House chocolate chip cookies. Nothing too difficult. My last mixer was an old Kitchenaid. So I know what they can do.
What I liked: the motor. You just can’t go wrong with the lasting power of American made. (I ordered a China one with all the bells and whistles and in the book it said not to run it more than 5 minutes to avoid over heating) Kitchenaid says to be careful because the top gets warm but the motor is fine!!! It is heavy duty. No stoppers that stick to the counter. It is heavy and mostly stays in place.
What I was not impressed with: these are little things that are not a deal breaker for me.
The whisk can’t go in the dishwasher. I don’t put any of those things in the dishwasher so no big deal for me. The white painted stuff like the bread hook and paddle can go in the dishwasher.
The bowl is tall and narrow. I thought that might make less toss out… Not so. The bowl cover attachment is sold separate so you might want to make the investment. The paddle throws stuff out really bad. Honestly, I prefer the regular beaters more than the paddle. This was my first time using the paddle but there were bits of butter that were just not mixed in.
The paddle does not scrape the sides. So you have to stop the mixer, lift the head and scrape the sides and bottom. I guess it is meant to be a safety feature and it was not a big deal …. But… sigh..
I thought cleaning it was easy. But I always wipe down and wash everything by hand and put it away. It was no more difficult than my old Kitchenaid.
The things I did not like were small things. I don’t like the paddle because I think it does a crap job of mixing. But it will be fine for other things and I can hand mix a little at the end. I will probably order the cover to make less mess but it don’t solve the stop and scrape issue.
I recommend this mixer if the little things don’t bother you. You just can’t beat the strong motor if you use it a lot and make breads and heavy stuff. I like my old Kitchenaid better but this one will do.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a solid high quality machine that I anticipate will last for a long time.
Color: WhiteStyle: MixerVerified PurchaseWe got this machine to replace an older mixer of a different brand that was an old friend that just finally striped out its drive gear. The KitchenAid just gives every indication of being one to be around and working for a long time. It is heavy and seems to be heavy-duty. We are very satisfied so far.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Kitchen Essential: A Hit with My Wife
Color: Onyx BlackStyle: MixerVerified PurchaseThe KitchenAid mixer has become a cherished addition to our kitchen, thanks to my wife's sheer adoration for it. Its exceptional performance and versatility have truly won her over.
From whipping up delicate meringues to kneading tough bread dough, this mixer handles every task with ease. The powerful motor and range of attachments make it a true workhorse in the kitchen. My wife particularly loves how it simplifies complex recipes and saves her valuable time.
The build quality is impressive, with robust materials that exude durability. It's clear that KitchenAid has put thought into both form and function. The various color options are a nice touch, allowing for a personalized touch in any kitchen decor.
Cleaning is a breeze, as well. The detachable components are easy to wash, and the stainless steel bowl adds a touch of elegance to the whole package.
In summary, the KitchenAid mixer has become an integral part of our culinary adventures. It's a reliable, versatile, and beautifully designed appliance that my wife simply can't do without. If you're serious about cooking and baking, this mixer is an investment that's well worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy Peasy
Color: Onyx BlackStyle: MixerVerified PurchaseI have wanted this for so long. As I am aging I am finding it more difficult to mix anything thick. Oh my goodness this delivers what it promised. I have probably gained weight now that I am making bread, cookies and oh ya, cheesecake! My friends are not complaining about the goodies coming from my kitchen! Kitchen aid has been around forever and is still a top notch brand. Mixer is very easy to use, easy to clean and has more attachments if you are a die hard kitchen diva. I wish I would have purchased before now!
