The KitchenAid KM25G0XWH - the Cadillac of stand mixers as it is known in my house - will never fail you. No never. Not many things you will buy in your lifetime will be as reliable. I have had mine since Boy George was known for his popular musical work not his court ordered sanitation work.
About
Pop icon's aside, the kitchen icon is and always has been of 100% durable metal construction with nothing plastic to fail or break. The motor is outstanding and well sized at an admirable 450 watts of pure power. This baby will tackle anything from the airiest pavlovas to the toughest triple batch of toll house cookie doughs without a struggle or a strain. It is that versatile.
The aptly proportioned 5-Quart stainless steel bowl is big enough for double and triple batches but deep enough to blend small amounts, never splashing the contents about the kitchen. The handle makes removing the bowl from the stand and scooping the contents into baking dishes ergonomically simple and surprisingly comfortable.
The flat beater that comes with mixer is perfection. It is shaped to mix thoroughly, evenly and engineered so well that a few turns around the bowl is all that's needed to combine wet and dry ingredients into the most delicate cakes, muffins or cookies. Run the mixer longer for well incorporated and carefully nurtured gluten, making excellent breads, rolls and pizza crusts. In fact, you can enhance bread making with the dough hook included.
The excellent wire whisk attachment is also included. Use this wire whip for light and fluffy meringues or delightfully etherial whipped cream. I like to chill the bowl before whipping anything as it increases the volume and the stainless steel gets nice and cold.
Features
The mechanically inclined will enjoy the additional features of direct drive transmission, the electronic speed sensor as well as the auto shut off. This is a tool meant for serious cooks not planning on moving the mixer from the place of honor on the kitchen counter. It's almost 29 pounds after all. If you are anything like me, you would never even consider putting the KM25G0WH in a cabinet anyway. After all these years it is still too pretty.
In Short
the KitchenAid stand mixer is unsurpassed in excellence at performing the tasks for which it was intended. Versatile. Perfect. Powerful. Pretty. That's one chameleon with some pretty good karma if you ask me.
