Kitchenaid Mixers

KitchenAid mixers are the mixers that made KitchenAid famous. The mixer features a wide assortment of attachments and variety of colors to match just about any kitchen decor. Even if you don't use a mixer regularly, they can be a fashionable kitchen accessory to leave out on your counter in plain view.

The first mixer KitchenAid produced was the Model H, introduced in 1919 and sold until 1927. It weighed 60 pounds and was sold for $199 which is the equivalent of $1400 today. Stores doubted its stability and it had to be sold door to door.

All KitchenAid mixers are made in the United States. Each mixer takes about one day to assembled. They come in a multitude of colors, over 70, with new colors constantly being introduced and others retired to make room for new ones.

The KitchenAid Professional 600 stand mixer with a six quart capacity and a 575-watt motor, is the largest one with the most powerful motor. The Classic Series stand mixer is the most basic model.

KitchenAid Mixers have a wide variety of attachments, enabling many tasks. Some of the features attachments allow include rolling and cutting pasta, making ice cream, juicing, chopping fruits and vegetables, grinding meat, and making sausage.

Kitchenaid has donated mixers and portions of mixer sales to a variety of causes. After 9-11 one hundred KitchenAid mixers were made and donated to the New York City Fire Departments as a thank you for their efforts and heroisms. Another 100 were made later and sold on eBay, with the proceeds going to 9/11 charities. When they sell a pink mixer ten percent of the sales goes to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. KitchenAid also came up with The Cook for the Cure program which allows individuals to host a party to promote breast cancer awareness and provide opportunities to donate to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. To date, the Cook for the Cure program has raised more than five million dollars.
