please can you advise what OTHER mixing bowls I can attach to my KitchenAid Platinum Collection KSM156 Stand Mixer apart from the 4.7 ltr glass mixing bowl it comes with? I find that mixing small batches it just doesn't do a great job.. I end up having to use my hand beater to finish it off.. is there a metal one available that fits this mixer, and also is there a KitchenAid attachment available that covers the top allowing non spattering and easy addition of ingredients? Thank you in advance, I absolutely love my mixer.. and having these attachments would compliment and make using it even more of a pleasure.. asked on Oct 08, 2016 Good Morning and thank you for your enquiry. The KSM156 Stand Mixer is also compatible with both the 4.8L Stainless Steel bowl and the 2.8L Stainless Steel bowl. The 2.8L size bowl is perfect for those smaller mixtures and for making icing. Kind Regards, The KitchenAid Team. replied on Oct 10, 2016 Hi there , i just bought the mixer , i have a little concern the power of the machine , is 300 watts powerful enough to do the job?i had looked online and most machines are over 1000 watts, can anyone help me answering this question please ?

asked on Apr 17, 2016 I get this question a lot in my job (kitchenware retailer). It is my understanding that in fact wattage does not directly correlate to power, contrary to popular opinion. Because of the low wattage, it is much more energy efficient than its competition. kitchenaid artisan mixer tingrijsAnd the reason that it can perform as well as it does with just 300 Watts is that the motor is in the head of the mixer - directly above the bowl - rather than in the side of the stand like most stand mixers. merlin food processor blender juicer - 123This means it needs a lot less power to move the mixer.hamilton beach 51102 single serve personal blender

replied on Nov 29, 2016 Why are the mixers so expensive? I really want one but the cost is prohibitive and I would need time to pay it off. Also the negative comments worry me for such an expensive piece of equipment. asked on Jan 10, 2016 Partly brand name and partly because they are a solid build. blender vitamix beogradMost components are fabricated in the USA, some do come from China. breville hand blender sainsburysThey are assembled and refined in the USA.220 volt kitchenaid artisan stand mixer - empire red The attachments are also another reason, it can perform a dozen other functions if you add the extra bits and pieces. ninja professional blender with single serve (bl740)

For example I've been using the Food Slicer to shave Ice and give the kids Snow Cones. Sadly I've been eating a lot more Ice Cream than I ever did before, now that I make my own. I've whipped up Loaves of bread close to 1KG and it's pulled through. I also made 3 ginger bread houses recently for Christmas in one batch. If you think you'll use it for some heady duty tasks, want the convenience of a stand mixer and don't mind paying a little bit extra for what many believe is the 'gold standard' in home mixers, then the KA is a really good choice. If you wont be making big sticky things that need a lot of horse power to mix you might be better off with a smaller cheaper alternative. A lot of people quite like the Cuisinart and they have pretty good reviews. As far as negative comments go, most people will only pipe up about negative experiences, very rarely will people go out of their way to praise. Whichever way you go, I hope you get many years of use and joy out of your mixer!

replied on Jan 11, 2016 Thanks, really want a Kitchenaid so will save up replied on Jan 12, 2016 If you look after your kitchenaid you should have it for many years, and even pass it on to younger family members. That's why they (and the Kenwood Chef) are so pricey. The other reason is the capacity for attachments. If you don't use a mixer a lot, or you're only whipping up the odd batch of cupcakes for a bake sale, it's not worth it. But now I have mine, I bake all the time and it's a true workhorse of my kitchen. Its kind of how a screwdriver is much much cheaper than a drill - depends what and how often as to which is actually the better investment. replied on May 19, 2016 Energy efficient 300 watt motor Full 5 years on parts and labour against manufacturer's faults for household use.
