KitchenAid Russia. (KitchenAid). Review of the Kitchenaid KSM150PSE

mixer Famous food blogger Andrey Rudkov tested the Kitchen Aid mixer with a vegetable cutter attachment. What came out of it, read on:

The world is arranged in such a way that there are always industry leaders, reputable companies that provide not only the impeccable performance of their products, but also an incredible aesthetic message. Chanel handbag, Mercedes Benz cars, five-star Ritz Carlton and Pierre Herme cakes. All of these companies have produced iconic products that competitors are trying to emulate, passionate about them
is the dream of consumers, and journalists are happy to write in magazines and books. This is not just a world of prestige, but something more; lifestyle when you demand maximum quality, aesthetics and reliability.

What do you associate with the name KitchenAid? Whether you read my previous review or not, 99% of readers will have it in their head:

That's right, this kitchen style icon is the child of KitchenAid. If you're into cooking like me, you've probably seen photos of this mixer (in different colors) in various food blogs, video recipes, books and magazines. It's no exaggeration to say that this is a Mercedes Benz in the kitchen: reliable mechanisms, assembled by hand at a factory in the US, Ohio, with amazing characteristics, thanks to which the equipment receives the status of professional or semi-professional.

Needless to say, this mixer plays in the big leagues. And yes, now I'm talking about this particular mixer, it is this model that is used not only by advanced housewives, but also by professional chefs, baristas, bartenders and chefs in restaurants and clubs around the world. You just try to realize the scale - everyone has the opportunity not only to use a brand that is trusted by the powers that be, but to use exactly the same model. It's incredibly great.

If in the first review of KitchenAid appliances I tried to tell you its history, attention to detail and the functionality of the mixer itself, then in this we will go further. Among other things, we will consider the prospects and justification for such a purchase, while for measurements we will take a professional “line”, that is, we will become more strict and biased judges.

Company history.

The history of KitchenAid began in 1908. It was then that Ohio engineer Herbert Johnston began to work on the creation of a mixer. One day, he watched a baker diligently kneading bread dough by hand and decided to design a mixer to make this grueling job easier. According to legend, the wife of the CEO of the company that produced the mixer, having tested it in practice, said: "It's the best kitchen aid" - "This is the best helper in the kitchen. " This is how the brand name came about. And at 19'55 at the annual Housewives Show in Atlantic City, KitchenAid is showing a new line of colorful mixers. Among the colors presented were, for example, such as "island green", "sunny yellow" and "antique copper". Since then, the appearance of the mixer has not changed much, becoming the hallmark of KitchenAid. Now KitchenAid is one of the most popular manufacturers of mixers, blenders, electric kettles and other household appliances not only in the US but throughout the world.

Slogan "Kitchen Aid. For the way it's done." - speaks for itself, the company has something to brag about in terms of quality and reliability, as well as the production technology of their devices.

Box and contents

My surprise started with the packaging. Remembering what a beautiful box the hand mixer had, I expected nothing less from a large stand mixer. The courier brought me a large box of industrial cardboard - you know, such craft cardboard of the usual brown-beige color. On the one hand, it seemed logical to me - a large box, almost 20 kilograms of weight, of course, it would be better to transport in such a box, it is less susceptible to damage. But what about beauty? Did the marketers really miscalculate here, I thought. Not at all. It turned out that inside this cardboard shell was the same beautiful colored box with a large photograph of the mixer. Attention to detail checkbox.

The box, as usual, has a large round sticker indicating the color of the mixer. I will say more about this below, KitchenAid offers more than 20 colors of this mixer, and not far in America, but also here in Russia. The next pleasant moment is the “5 year warranty” mark. FIVE YEARS! If you know a little about household appliances, then you know that not all manufacturers are ready to give such guarantees for the most indestructible kitchen appliances - refrigerators. And we are talking about a mixer that is used in a more aggressive mode. But such boldly Kitchen Aid is justified. The mixer itself is included as standard.

Three whisk attachments. Of course it is pure metal.

Whisk Attachment (K5AWW)

The main purpose of the whisk is to saturate various ingredients such as heavy cream or egg whites with air bubbles. It serves for whipping sweet and savory mousses, creams and protein dough. The whisk also helps you make great mayonnaise, hollandaise sauce for fish or cream mousse.

Spatula attachment (K45B)

The flat beater is great for battering cakes and cookies, but it can also be used for mashing vegetables, mixing sauces, making butter with various additives, and kneading pastry dough for pies and tartlets.

Dough Hook Attachment (K45DH)

The Dough Hook allows you to make not only excellent bread - from a simple rustic loaf to focaccia, brioche or German pretzels, but also fresh pasta.

A plastic bowl lid that helps control splashing of batter or sauce and also protects curious children.

4.8 liter metal bowl. It is solid, with a comfortable metal handle. Note that a small cone protrudes at the bottom of the bowl - this is so that the nozzles completely knead the dough and they do not have “blind spots” - another tick for attention to detail. The bowl itself is firmly installed in special grooves at the base of the mixer. Of course, the directions of rotation of the whisks and the twisting of the bowl,
are multidirectional, that is, the bowl will not be removed under the influence of the rotation of the nozzles.

Warranty booklet and instruction manual.

Appearance

There are not many examples in industrial design when engineers and designers managed to create something interesting that will remain relevant for many years and, moreover, will not lose its relevance. I don't know of another example in home appliances where a company was able to create such a recognizable product with a timeless design that, years later, it was as enthusiastic as it was at the beginning.

I could not find a single extra line, detail or element that seemed foreign or non-functional to me.

The entire body of the mixer is pure metal. That's one of the reasons why Kitchen Aid is so bold about offering a five-year warranty. The mixer stands securely on the table due to its weight, it is very convenient.

As I said, Kitchen Aid offers more than 20 body colors available in Russia, there are glossy and matte finishes with romantic names like Raspberry Ice. This is not counting limited editions with patterns, inscriptions and so on. Professional tech doesn't have to be boring, right?

I have a mixer in the color Candy Apple, it is more interesting and voluminous than Red. The surface of the case is not smooth, this will protect it from minor scratches.

Attention to detail

You already know how much I love to look at details, attention to them betrays a conscientious manufacturer, whom you unconditionally trust in everything.

Again - everything in the mixer is made of metal - body, internal parts, attachments, bowl and other accessories supplied separately. This is reliability and durability and confidence. Look at the bowl base:

Strong fastening keeps the bowl in a fixed state, and in fact the speeds and loads are sometimes considerable. What I liked is that nothing dangles. And the mixer itself, and the bowl, and nozzles - there are no extraneous backlashes, overtones and unpleasant vibrations. Here the engineers, of course, tried.

There is a beautiful metal nameplate on the front of the mixer (the company has been generous with the use of materials). It hides a functional hole that allows you to expand the possibilities of the mixer to an infinite number of options.

All switches are strict, convenient and located quite reasonably - always at hand, but it is unlikely that you will be able to accidentally switch something.

The cooling system is moved as far as possible from splashes and dust (for example, from flour), to the rear face. There is also a power wire. This is very wise.

Since this is still a high-vibration appliance, Kitchen Aid engineers have provided for the possibility of adjustment. This small screw here will help adjust the position of the whisk in the bowl so that the attachments do not scratch the bowl.

There is a hole behind the nameplate, into which additional accessories are inserted to expand the functionality of the mixer. Note that there are no areas or openings in the mixer that are not protected from dust and moisture. Everything that is not currently in use is closed.

Both control levers have comfortable finger grooves, I took a piece of butter in my hands, and then tried to switch the speed mode - the lever does not slip and obediently performs switching.

The mixer has rubber feet, very wide. We can safely say that he will stand confidently; I don’t like it when such devices “travel” around the table if they are accidentally touched or pulled by the wire (again, by accident).

Characteristics and operation

Of course, we usually start the choice of mixers with power. The Kitchen Aid Planetary Mixer delivers 300W of continuous power. Not enough, you say, because others claim both 500 and 1000 watts. Everything is not so simple, it turns out that almost all manufacturers of household appliances indicate "advertising power", that is, peak power. In other words, the mixer will be able to produce the declared 700 watts for a fraction of a second, and then the decline will follow. It looks something like this:

In turn, Kitchen Aid indicates a constant power of 300 watts - this means that it will be able to work for 10 minutes with a constant power equal to 1600 watts of the “advertising” power of other mixers (remember, it lasts a fraction of a second). Such indicators make the KitchenAid planetary mixer semi-professional.

As I said, the body of the mixer is all-metal, and the internal mechanisms are also made of steel.

Imagine how reliable and durable such elements are.

Power and materials sorted out. Let's move on - exploitation. Everything is very simple here: combine the ingredients in a bowl and beat with the selected nozzle. Here's how the process looks like - tilt the top of the mixer back, install the desired nozzle, fix the bowl in place, lay out the ingredients and close the top of the mixer to its original position. And then 10 speeds at your service.


Here is the whipping process a little closer. Look at how the mechanism works - the nozzle rotates around its axis and in orbit, due to which, a larger coverage of the area is obtained. At the same time, there are no unaffected areas, which is necessary when whipping oil-based creams and thick mixtures - it is often impossible to collect the mass from the walls of the bowl with a hand mixer, the beaters simply do not fit the bowl in shape.

At the same time, the lock prevents the upper part of the mixer from opening uncontrollably, the motor with the nozzle is firmly fixed, there will be no surprises.

Gear changes are very smooth and comfortable, as you can see in the video above. Subjectively, it seems that from ordinary mixers I could get a speed of 7-8, that is, there is a margin of 2-3 speeds - this is very cool, especially when making meringue, whipping cream, and so on.

Do you know what other indisputable plus these mixers have? Free hands! Yes, now I can not only operate with ingredients within a part of the desktop, I can generally walk from room to room (anything may be needed) while the dough is being whipped. Here is an example - we are preparing a berry pie. We throw in the ingredients of the future dough and calmly clean the berries, cut and so on, at this time the dough will knead itself. Saving time? Yes! Energy savings? Undoubtedly.

You can also easily make complex types of dough - this is when the ingredients are added one by one. There are recipes where you need to mix butter with sugar, add 6 eggs in turn, then flour, cocoa, something else. Imagine how much more convenient it is to do this without turning off the mixer every time. I think it saves half the time.

Whipping egg whites and creams is a real pleasure.


The same applies to dough, especially yeast - where kneading is generally recommended for 10 and 15 minutes, it is very difficult for a fragile girl to do it manually. And here you don’t need to do anything, put the hook attachment, put the ingredients and turn on the average speed. I will have pizza almost every day now, considering how easy it is to make the dough.

Steel bowl, optional glass bowl. These materials are low-porous - they do not absorb odors and food particles, and they also quickly cool and heat up - this is useful for whipping cream, proteins and for a water bath, although here the mixer is inferior to manual counterparts.

Expanding the functionality

But the Kitchen Aid mixer would not have become a legend if the company's engineers had limited themselves to the standard functionality. We are lucky, today the mixer has more than a dozen additional elements that add new features. These are meat grinders, juicers, ice cream makers, modules for rolling dough for pasta, ravioli and more.

I recently read a joke on a foreign blog. The author writes: “My husband and I bought a juicer, a set of graters, an ice cream maker and a food processor over the course of a couple of years. And then we bought Kitchen Aid. Why do we need all the old rubbish? Indeed, it is much more reasonable and economical (both in material terms and in terms of saving space) to purchase such a mixer and increase the functions with the help of new modules.

Here is a small example. Vegetable cutters.

This is a special module that is attached to the front of the mixer. Knives-drums are inserted into it at choice. You get a harvester for cutting and chopping vegetables.

See what the Kitchen Aid mixer can do with this module. I cut the carrots in six different ways. At the same time, changing nozzles and the process of processing vegetables itself take a few minutes. As a rule, mixers of this type have their permanent place on the working surface of the kitchen. That is, it will take about the same time to assemble a cutting mechanism as to get a grater out of the cabinet. Yes, but you definitely want to rub a kilogram of carrots for sauerkraut with a mixer, we bet?

I don't have enough fingers to list all the recipes and vegetables that can be cooked using this attachment module.

Here is a short video that will briefly show you what the mixer is capable of. In just a couple of minutes, the mixer changes its capabilities and role in the kitchen. Strictly speaking, we get a real assistant in the kitchen and at the same time pay only for those functions that we really use, no attachments that came in the kit, but lie idle in the back drawer. Buy only modules that you will use.

Pros and cons:

Impressions

If in the first review of the Kitchen Aid hand mixer I got acquainted with the brand and tried to understand whether its products are worth the money, then in this review I no longer raised such questions. It was much more important for me to understand how I can get the most out of my investment.

What do we get? A truly professional tool that is capable of high continuous power, saving time and effort. The possibility of limitless expansion of the functions of the mixer, while not forgetting that every year Kitchen Aid expands the line of additional modules and accessories.

With this mixer, you can say with a clear conscience that you are making an investment by purchasing a Kitchen Aid planetary mixer. This is no longer just buying a household appliance, this is an investment in your culinary discoveries and exploits.

When I was preparing this review, I thought about this. Remember before there were family heirlooms that were passed down from generation to generation? And how the bride's parents prepared what was devoted to the future husband. Now the Kitchen Aid mixer is perfect for this role. I am not kidding. Think about it, you have the opportunity right now to start a family tradition, history, with the purchase of such a mixer. Nothing brings people together like a meal together, and even more so cooking together. Start making pies or pasta with your kids, and decades from now, they'll be doing the same with their grandchildren, and the same Kitchen Aid will still be on the table.

The company's engineers guarantee decades of operation of the mixer, and steel mechanisms, hand-assembled at US factories, only confirm their words.

There is nothing like having a product that has a unique performance advantage over the competition. Now technologies are so developed that we have the right to demand really the best technical performance from the most familiar devices, but in addition, society, aesthetics and taste are also developed. Therefore, we want the most banal things to look amazing, we are no longer surprised by the austerity in design and standard colors that do not fit well with our surroundings.

Kitchen Aid gives you a truly cutting-edge technology in engineering and design: reliable hand-assembled mechanisms, attention to details that are revealed during operation and an incredible recognizable design.

Now I can confidently recommend Kitchen Aid appliances to all my subscribers. This is a good technique with a recognizable design, which is worth the money.

This planetary mixer is provided by the official Kitchen Aid dealer in Russia, www.kichenaid.ru, which has been operating in Russia since 2007. The store delivers to all regions, provides an official guarantee for all devices.

KitchenAid Mixers 5KSM125 and 5KSM175 - what's the difference?

The KitchenAid Artisan 5KSM150 Mixer has been virtually unchanged since the 1930s. In early 2017, KitchenAid proudly introduced 3 new ranges: 5KSM3311x , 5KSM125 and 5KSM175 . After the announcement of a new range of mixers for some time, few people understood what was fundamentally different in them. That is why the first 2-3 months after the start of sales, few people bought new models for themselves. Everyone was still hunting for the legendary series 5KSM150 , which had 37 different colors.


5KSM125 and 5KSM175: similarities and differences

Let's say right away that the most basic differences lie in the configuration of the new models.

KitchenAid Artisan 5KSM150 series mixers were supplied with one 4.8L bowl, one bowl guard, one whisk, one spatula and one hook. It was believed that this was all that a pastry chef might need. If the master decided to expand the boundaries of his capabilities, then the remaining accessories could be purchased separately.

KitchenAid Artisan 5KSM175 has been updated with an additional silicone hard fin attachment (5KFE5T) and the long awaited second 2.9L bowl. Now Kitchen Aid has the opportunity to knead the dough for the cake and the cream almost simultaneously. You just need to change the bowl on the mixer. However, the protective rim only fits the 4.8L bowl. On a small bowl, he hurts.

And now, we think, for the sad part: KitchenAid Artisan 5KSM125 mixers (and there were only 4 of them, but more on that later) were left without a protective cover on the bowl, which is designed to protect the environment from splashes and particles of the mixed mass. Now, those who purchase kitchen machines of this series can purchase the rim separately. It does not come with a mixer anymore.

KitchenAid mini Artisan 5KSM3311X

A few words about the new model for the smallest pastry chefs who cook very small quantities or have limited space in the kitchen.

This is a mixer with a 3.3 l bowl. With this little kitchen helper you can cook a cake up to 2 kg. The power of the motor of this baby, like the KitchenAid Classic mixer, is 250 watts. In the lifting part of the body there is also a socket for connecting additional attachments, such as a meat grinder, a food processor, pasta rollers, etc. Without attachments and bowl, the mixer weighs 6.5 kg. You can take it with you to the country in the summer.

There are 6 colors in the line: red, pink, light green (honey melon), blue, gray and matte black. The complete set exactly repeats the completeness of the 125 series, namely: whisk, spatula, hook and bowl.

New colors

The KitchenAid Artisan 5KSM125 series has 4 colors in total. Here are the most basic, according to the engineers of Kitchen Aid, the colors of the rainbow. Colors are not exactly our forte, so we will simply list them: imperial red, cream, silver medallion and black onyx.

Much more color choice in KitchenAid Artisan 5KSM175PSE . Here are a variety of shades. There are 22 colors/patterns in total. You can see them in more detail here.

Not all colors in series 175 match the colors of series 125. But don't be upset: we have prepared a color matching table for you.


Separately, I would like to take out 3 models of the 5KSM175 series: brushed nickel, chrome and copper.

In this case, we are not dealing with paint of a certain color on the body, but with real material, which was not hidden under any coating, but taken and polished.

These mixers are slightly heavier and more expensive than others 19multi-colored representatives from the new series.

Thus, the company Kitchen Aid divided its steam locomotive product into 3 classes:

How will this affect you and me? Most likely, this is exactly the case when all changes are for the better.
