My old Kitchen Aid mixer is on its last legs.

What is the best source for a new one? There are so many styles and sizes.

1. Check Consumer Reports magazine. Probably in your library.

2. In general KitchenAids are still highly rated by Consumer Reports & America's Test Kitchen

Which model is right for you depends on what you do with it most often, and what you think you need to be able to do from time to time even if not very often. If you are going to be kneading a lot of bread doughs, for example, you might need a larger/stronger/more $$$ model than if you mostly make cookies and desserts. Also consider your storage space, and how heavy is too heavy for you to move it around.

If you decide to stick with KitchenAid you should know that you can buy directly from the company web site and there are some (real, not phony Black Friday shit) sales there right now.

4. Kitchen Aid is still the best IMO

I just gave mine away. In perfect condition but too heavy for me to lug around.

5. Mine is still going strong at 24 years. I bought a second

one when they came with the glass bowls, but elected to sell it in my estate sale and kept the old one.

6. Costco regularly has a basic model on sale.

7. Kitchen Aid mixer

We have had ours for 57 years. It has survived 7 moves and it still works very well.
