What are People Saying
This is what the single mom of 2 has been looking for!!! I’ve been shying away from getting a stand mixer for years out of space considerations and finally, finding this little gem, pulled the trigger.
Nice, compact stand mixer for small batches. I bought the pink version when it was on lightening deal – and it’s a very pretty pink. Fits nicely on my countertop so I’m very happy with it.
Just as effective as its larger brother, but small enough to keep out on the counter top underneath the cabinets. Like the size. But still powerful enough to do a variety of jobs.
My wife has enjoyed using the smaller mixer. She discovered that mixing or beating egg yokes, the smaller mixer was faster than the larger size mixer. She also liked the lighter weigh when compared to the regular size mixer by Kitchen Aid. Great product.
This little powerhouse is the perfect addition to my kitchen!
Perfect size. I have limited counter space and it is a great fit. Very powerful, handles stiff cookie dough without a problem. I am enjoying using it!

I purchased the Kitchen Aid Mini. I live in a small apartment with very limited kitchen space, I opted to go with the mini. In my opinion that was a good decision. Thank you so much for this product review.
Hi Kevin, thanks for your comment. The Kitchen Aid Mini was designed for people with limited counter space, yet still want the same power as the larger Kitchenaid stand mixer. I’m glad you like it.
