Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Combining a 325-watt motor with a direct-drive transmission, this stand mixer delivers the power needed to take on heavy mixtures and large batches with ease. The unit's 10-speed control ranges from a slow stir to a very fast whip, while its 67-point planetary mixing action sends the beater clockwise and the shaft counterclockwise, moving the beater to the edge of the bowl at 67 different points for thorough mixing with no need to rotate the bowl. The stand mixer provides a large 5-quart glass bowl, complete with measurement markings up the side and a nondrip pouring spout, as well as three handy accessories: a flat beater for normal to heavy mixtures, a hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs, and a wire whip for air-infused creations like whipped cream or angel-food cake. Other highlights include a 9-cup flour capacity, a tilt-back head, and a multipurpose attachment hub with a hinged hub cover that flips open to allow for easy installation of optional attachments. To distinguish the 90th Anniversary edition from the other KitchenAid stand mixers, the appliance features a beautiful double-coated finish and a "90th" label accenting the trim band. Designed with solid, all-metal construction, the stand mixer measures 8-2/3 by 14 by 13-8/9 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Product Description

90th Anniversary Limited Edition Stand Mixer features a double coated finish that separates the 90th Anniversary from all other KitchenAid Stand Mixers. The Stand Mixer features a unique 90th label badging on the trim band giving the stand mixer more exclusivity. The 90th Anniversary 5-Quart Stand Mixer has a strong 325-watt motor that delivers the power to handle the heaviest mixtures, and mix large batches easily. The 5-quart glass bowl features a pouring spout and measurement markings, making it more assessable in the kitchen. The unique mixing action eliminates the need to rotate the bowl by spinning the beater clockwise and the shaft counterclockwise, moving the beater to the edge of the bowl at 67 different points. This ensures a quick and complete mixing action. The 90th Anniversary Stand Mixer includes a flat beater, dough hook, and wire whip which will add to the versatility of the mixer.

5.0 out of 5 stars The sexiest Artisan mixer ever! September 16, 2009

By Browneyedgurl

Yes, I just called a kitchenaid appliance sexy! Pictures do not do this beautiful workhorse justice! The candy apple color is simply stunning! If you are in the market for an Artisan 325 watt kitchenaid mixer, this is THE one to have. The 90th Anniversary edition is available for a limited time this year. I absolutely love the glass mixing bowl. Very sturdy and looks like it is made of a pyrex material. The color drew me in, but the glass bowl sold me! Love the measurement marks on the side, so convienient. Not to mention that you can finally see if your ingredients are all mixed up now. But I will also probably buy a metal bowl to go with this as well. Although completely unneccesary. The whisk, paddle, and dough hook are a coated metal, not the standard white coated ones that came with my KA classic. It is important to know that these new attachmants are hand wash only. DO NOT put these in the dishwasher, the coating will come off and become discolored. Although they look very nice, I would have prefered a metal that could be put in the dishwasher, that is my ONLY complaint with this machine, and it's trivial. If this is an issue for you, then buy the white coated ones, as all attachments are universal.
I will add a picture of my new KA so you will see how this shines! Hope you get one too before they are all gone for good!

Edit- I also wanted to write a quick note for those that had a question about the pour shield compatibility with the glass mixer bowl. It will work on this bowl. Just line it up over the spout on the bowl. Also, if you lust for the glass mixing bowl, sometime next year KA is going to sell it as an extra for the tilt head models only.

5.0 out of 5 stars She loves it! January 1, 2010

By Louis Alexander

Bought this mixer for my young wife for Christmas, slightly worried that I would be committing the classic misogynist sin of buying your wife a kitchen appliance, however I knew she was quite bummed no one got it for us for our wedding last year, so I went all in and put it under the tree. So far she loves it, in one week alone shes made breads, tamales, stuffed cabbage (with home ground meats) and pizza dough. I would highly recommend the purchase of the Beater Blade +, as it really is an improvement over the flat beater. I also bought the three pack of attachments (Strainer, Meat Grinder, and Slicer), and was happy with the performance of the meat grinder. Also don't neglect to purchase the Stand Mixer Bible, its quite informative and gives all of the secrets towards getting the most out of your new mixer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brown eyed girl is right! November 3, 2009

By Michael J. Glover

We loved brown eyed girl's review and are having fun calling our new mixer 'sexy' and telling it to 'behave'.
We made banana bread right away and it was a cinch.
This is our first kitchen aid.
The color is great... A metallic red.
Also, you can get a free attachment if you order before November 8th.

We bought this to replace our old stand mixer which we destroyed by getting a spatula stuck in the beaters.
I'm so glad it happened. We love the look and quality of the new blender. Wish the attachments were dishwasher safe, but the joy of owning the thing makes up for that small inconvenience. Still, washing them is no problem.

We added ingredients and put them away as we went. There was no mess. It was easy. If you want to buy a kitchen aid, this one looks and works great.
