Amazon.com Review
The six heavy, sturdy tools in this set are as reliably functional as they are strikingly beautiful. The set comprises an 11-1/4-inch grater perfect for creating a shower of cheese over pasta or citrus zest for baking; a 9-inch ice-cream scoop that forms balls out of the hardest frozen confection; a powerful, 8-1/2-inch can opener; a 10-inch, 12-wire utility whisk for beating eggs and blending sauces; a 7-1/2-inch peeler with a sharp, 2-1/4-inch swiveling blade; and a 12-1/2-inch spatula with a long, 5-1/4-inch, black, silicone head that's perfect for quickly scraping bowls and folding ingredients. The spatula is heat-resistant to 500 degrees F, so it won't melt even if it touches a burner.
The tools and gadgets have stylish enamel-like handles with polished 18/8 stainless-steel accents, and include hanging holes. They're dishwasher-safe. KitchenAid says the first year of their lifetime warranty against defects is hassle-free, with replacements shipped at no cost and without question if defects are detected. --Fred Brack

Large, Heavy Duty,
By
This review is from: Kitchen Aid 6-Piece Gadget Set, Red (Kitchen)
I'm a big guy and I like big and heavy duty kitchen gadgets. These didn't disappoint in that regard.The can opener appears well built. However, the drive wheel has very shallow teeth that slip on the can even though the sharp cutting wheel requires little drive effort to penetrate the metal can top. Squeezing the handles with a very firm grip mostly overcomes this problem with only a little residual slippage, but that eliminates the expected advantage of a large can opener with a lot of leverage. The opened can lid seems much sharper than those produced from my inexpensive and functional Swing-Away can opener. On the very first can I opened, I brushed a finger tip against the edge of the lid and received a very deep cut. The Swing-Away can opener I had been using apparently produces more of a cut & rolled edge that seems much less dangerous. The whisk handle is comfortable and it works well. I think I prefer a lighter whisk with a hollow handle and I definitely prefer a completely smooth surface that's easier to clean. The Kitchenaid logo has molded and recessed features that require a little extra cleaning effort. The peeler works well. The large handle is easy to grip (I have large hands), but it does take up a lot of space in the gadget drawer. The clip on plastic blade cover is a nice touch to keep the blade from banging into other gadgets and nicking them or dulling, but I wonder how many minutes it'll be before I lose the plastic cover. The spatula is well designed and well built. The silicone rubber is slightly harder than a Rubbermaid commercial spatula I had, but it oozed silicone oil and was discarded. This spatula is soft enough to flex as needed, but probably not so soft that it'll ooze silicone. Again, I'd like a smooth handle that was as easy to clean as possible. Decent marks here, but the molded Kitchenaid logo again requires a little extra effort to clean. The grater is nice and heavy duty. No complaints. The ice cream scoop is solid and well built. The surface polish is mirror smooth. However, with hard ice cream, the ice cream spade (sold separately) works better with much less effort. Even with the spade, scooping frozen ice cream is a bit awkward and requires a lot of force. This scoop will require hard ice cream to be microwaved to soften it before it can be scooped. I have an old commercial Hamilton Beach ice cream scoop with the completely hemispherical thin walled stainless scoop and a ratcheting thumb mechanism that drives a band inside the scoop to release the ice cream. It scoops hard ice cream more easily and releases it more easily than the pretty new Kitchenaid ice cream scoop. Overall, these are large and heavy duty tools that are certainly well made. I don't think durability will be an issue. Some of the tools could have been designed a bit better. A+ for materials and workmanship. A- to C- for the various pieces for ergonomics and functional design. This set is good, but for the price it should be very good. It wasn't quite up to the very high standards I have come to expect from Kitchenaid. I'd probably be more charitable, but the half inch gash on the end of my left middle finger makes typing this review a bit painful. At least it finally stopped bleeding whenever I flexed my finger. I'll be more careful with the Kitchenaid can opener.

this is a great set at a great price!,
By Christy (York Haven, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kitchen Aid 6-Piece Gadget Set, Red (Kitchen)
I have to say I disagree with the other reviewer-sorry! I didn't buy this exact set as it appears here, I wish I had seen this before I bought all of the pieces individually! These are really nice, heavy, substantial pieces, and are so nice to use. I can't comment on the grater, I do not own it, but the rest are easy to use and clean, and are very comfortable in the hand to use. I am a believer that this set is worth every penny!!!

Grater Broke,

This review is from: Kitchen Aid 6-Piece Gadget Set, Red (Kitchen)
I bought this set and was very pleased until the grater just snapped at the handle. This implies that there is a support problem with the manufacturers design.
