The old KitchenAid mixers are bulletproof and absolutely top of the line. My mother inherited one that was built in the 70s and it still gets daily use.
The newer ones feel much cheaper. My wife has one of the fancier new models, and it just feels like a much inferior product. It's the same design, but everything about it works less well than the older iteration.
- starky 7y agoI bought a Kitchenaid last year and was quite disappointed at some of the "value engineering" they have done to them that is visible to the customer. The paddle attachment was no longer coated, they removed the handle from the bowl (this is the worst and I wish I had access to a spot welder to fix it), and they removed the spring loaded washer that holds the paddle on. The stupid part is that these changes maybe save $2-3 on the COGS (and that is mostly the bowl handle).
