Who makes it, and what to know
KitchenAid is one of Whirlpool Corporation's brands. KitchenAid's product page does not state the warranty length or link a warranty document for this model, so we do not quote one. The links on this page go to Amazon, so delivery and returns follow the Amazon seller's terms; the warranty is KitchenAid's.
Each color link was opened and checked by a person. If one goes stale, tell us and it comes down.
Where a link earns us a commission, your price does not change. Where it earns nothing, the page says so.

What owners say
Read from the Amazon listings this page links to, on September 6, 2026. The score is Amazon’s, not ours. Quotes are short and unedited, with the link to the full review.
“I normally used a stand mixer in the past but this demanded a lot of counter space as well as moving a heavy piece of equipment to do my mixing.”
“You can't go wrong with Kitchenaid. I bought this as a gift for the mother of a friend of mine to replace her Black and Decker. She absolutely loves it.”
“It's the wrong voltage and plug to be used in the UK. No idea why Amazon is selling this here....”

“Old reliable. Mine is slowing down. It's 32 years old. I'm actually mad I have to replace it. Product is that good. Hope it's made the same way it was.”
“Easily made cookie dough without a single issue. Even when the dough got pretty thick, this kitchenaid mixer did the job perfectly well. it was quiet and didn’t make a mess.”
“very basic hand mixer. it was powerful enough to mix cake batter sufficiently but wasn't quite fast/powerful enough to easily mix whipped cream. Feels durable”
“This feels like a toy when you pick it up. All moving parts are cheap plastic. The only metal are the beaters, and they're so thin I feel like I could break them when I'm washing them.”
