Its merits are many: KitchenAid attachments like the wire whisk and wire whip are easy to put on, remove and clean the tilt lever lock works well the bowl has a handle and installs smoothly and the splash guard fits the bowl and can be slid on when needed without taking apart the mixer.

That's a bold declaration! So we set out to see if KitchenAid still makes the best stand mixer, or if another brand will take center stage.Īfter several years of evaluating nearly three dozen stand mixers, we’ve narrowed down our top picks. However, many major kitchen appliance brands now manufacture stand mixers that claim to be just as good as-if not better.
