KitchenAid appliances are the kitchen appliances that last. Not only are KitchenAid appliances extremely well made and long lasting, they are also great looking. Most people store small appliances on their kitchen countertops. When choosing the small appliances for your kitchen, why not opt for the best-looking ones -- especially when the best-looking appliances also have the best quality? KitchenAid appliances that perform well even in high-pressure cooking situations, such as Thanksgiving dinner. Explore the line of quality KitchenAid appliances, like stand mixers, food processors, induction cooktops and toasters.
History: In 1919, KitchenAid trademarked their brand and introduced the stand mixer. Known as H-5, this stand mixer was the first of its kind available for home kitchens. Most stand mixers were found in bakeries, restaurants and professional cooking facilities. By 1946, the brand had expanded to include dishwashers. Over the next 90 years, the lineup of products grew to include refrigerators, ovens and small appliances.
Stand mixers: As the first product launched by KitchenAid, the stand mixer has continued to be its signature appliance. As of 2009, 16 different models were available, including the Commercial 5 series and the Classic Series. Since 1955, the stand mixers have been available in many different colors. The Professional 5 Plus series is available in nine different colors, including chrome, red and blue.
Countertop appliances: Along with the stand mixer, KitchenAid manufactures a number of different types of countertop appliances. These products include coffee makers, toasters, hand mixers, food processors, slow cookers, waffle makers, immersion blenders and microwaves. The company also manufactures 10 different models of blenders.
Large appliances: Although best known for their smaller appliances, KitchenAid also has lines of large appliances, including 13 models of dishwashers. Several of these models are available in multiple colors, as well. The company also makes refrigerators, including under-counter, drawer and free-standing units. KitchenAid ovens, stove tops and induction cooktops are also available.
Breast cancer donations: In addition to offering a wide range of appliances in beautiful colors, KitchenAid also offers some models in pink to support breast cancer research. Hand mixers, toasters, blenders, a stand mixer and other countertop appliances are available in pink to support breast cancer research. With each purchase and product registration, KitchenAid donates a portion of the purchase price to the Susan G. Komen foundation.
