Good lord! Can’t we ever get closure! Overstock and Ebay list this as 450! Woot lists it at 325! Doesn’t anyone have a definitive answer! Cause I mean, a difference of 125 watts could ruin your bread!
KitchenAid is great when it comes to warranty issues. We had a problem with a coffeemaker a while back, and they sent a replacement right away, no questions. They also sent a return label for the defective one.
After scouring the internet to make sure I was getting the best deal, I ordered one of these bad boys. It shipped fast and arrived just as glorious as described. I went with Shiny… I mean Silver. Since its arrival, I’ve made 3 cakes, 2 different batches of cookies, and a cheesecake. I was so excited to be adding this tool to my kitchen arsenal that I’ve been putting it through its paces. From gentle stuff like whipping egg whites to the hardcore such as cranking through a triple recipe sized batch of cookie dough, my mixer hasn’t missed a beat.
Yes, they make them bigger (6QT) and more powerful (425 watt motor), but I’d say this particular model is tough enough for anything a dedicated amateur or even a fledgling professional might put it through.
