KitchenAid
KitchenAid in short
KitchenAid introduced the first residential stand mixer in 1919, with the iconic Artisan silhouette dating back to 1937. Attachments have shared the same universal hub for decades. Knead heavy dough on a low speed setting, wipe down the housing with a damp cloth, and replace worn individual components when necessary.
