Thank you for this review. I was as shocked as you were by the flour flying out, great comic relief! I bought my Kitchen Aid when my youngest child was one month old. I paid $150, on sale, with a small inheritance of $150. My 3 children, one boy 2 girls, all learned to cook with that Kitchen Aid. As they grew up, I gifted them with their own K.A. mixer. I've thought about downsizing to the smaller mixer but my original workhorse is still hail and hearty at 42 years old. My only advice is, be mindful of the color you choose, you may be living with it for a very long time! ☺

Bought this mini mixer at the beginning of the pandemic last March, 2020. LOVE IT! It handles bread recipes with 500g of flour perfectly well and makes the full Doubletree/Hilton Chocolate Chip recipe with no problem. I don't use any attachments, so can't comment on that aspect. It is a great little machine and takes up very little counter space.

OMG THE SLOW START AT FULL 5 - I DIED LAUGHING LOL!

Omg!! I was so excited to see this video. I work at Kitchen Aid where theses are made! When you look on the box and it says Proudly made in Greenville Ohio, that’s where I’m at. I love that you have our mixers and you have several different sizes. So sometime come on down and schedule a factory tour and see where they are made.

I have been researching this mixer. I think for me it will be awesome to use when making things like whipped cream, royal icing, some cake fillings. I love my large mixers but they are heavy. The smaller one would be easier for me to move around and I'd use it alot! Love your videos!!!

How still very helpful after almost 4 yrs since published. I just got into baking and wondering if I should get this mini instead of the artisan normal size. Now I know! Merci

This video was so helpful!!! I want to replace my 20 year old kitchen Aid mixer and was curious about the mini. I am older and would appreciate a lighter mixer. The video answered every question imaginable.

I LOVE my mini!!!! I have a small kitchen and always wanted a KitchenAid but I had no place to put a big one. Then my son gave me the mini and it fits perfectly behind my Instant Pot on a 12" wide counter next to the stove. It is very easy to pullout and use. I have made 5 dozen cookies, an angel food cake as well as other things. I have no problem with the size. The only thing that that is tricky is when you need to add something but I solved that by getting a pouring shield. I am sure that my son did not pay $400 because he is a super shopper. You will not be disappointed if you get this. Just look around for a good price.

I would give this to my grandmother for christmas and make her favorite cake with her 💙

you are a really good baker and you videos are amazing. I bake all the time but i only have a wooden spoon. I often bake and sell things for charity and bake for my family and friends. I would love to have this mixer as it would make my baking so much easier.

My name is Jennifer Alger and I am a baker on a budget. I don't have a lot of tools nor do I have a very large kitchen, but I am a self taught baker that is constantly learning new things from you. I am only 24 years old but I have found a passion in baking that has brought me through so many hard times in my life. I have found that baking can bring myself through my depression problems. I constantly badger my family about wanting a KitchenAid mixer! As of now I have been teaching myself to bake with your videos through facebook and other videos online. I use a hand mixer that I bought my mother for Mothers Day when I was a child. I can't even make fondant without hearing it struggle and I feel as if it is going to run out on me any day. If I were to win this Kitchen Aid mixer, it would help me further my baking career that has brought me so much happiness. I believe the first thing I would make in the mixer would be my grandmother's pound cake recipe. She is an inspiration to my baking because she taught me the basics of what I know, and I want her to be proud of me. I really hope I win because I have such a love for baking that I really want to follow, and I hope to get the courage to begin a KZfaq channel and share my progress with the world because I believe if someone with limited resources such as my self can come as far as I have as a baker and as a human being. everyone else should find the inspiration and passion to prosper.

The first thing I would make with this adorable mixer would be bread most definitely! One of my biggest problems is kneading most often so this would be an amazing help. Thank you for going over the capabilities of it, it was very informative.

Great review. I was considering getting one of these for ages because I don't bake in large batches, nor do I have a huge amount of storage space, but then I found an Artisan mixer on sale that was cheaper so I bought that. Apparently picking a less-desirable colour is the best way to get a KitchenAid at a bargain price.

Hello, My name is Cynthia Valladares I'm 17 and a senior at Montgomery Blair High school. Ever since I was a little girl I've been passionate about baking and cooking.I was inspired by my father and mother, and watching cooking videos on KZfaq. I always wanted to own a kitchen aid, but never had money to buy myself one. I also attend Edison School of Technology. I'm currently in Edison for Business Management I cook and bake and It's honesty the best thing that has happened in my life and I'm grateful. I wanna pursue my dreams and go to college. The first thing that I would bake would be Chef Smiths famous Apple Crumb Muffins. Its so moist and soft and the crumb topping gives it an award wining flavor. Thank you! Sincerely,Cynthia Valladares

I am 14 years old and I love baking! My mom is one of my inspiration and l am always trying to make something new. My mom being very old fashion has an old Sunbeam mixer that's absolutely horrible and is not mix things well and takes forever but in the end her food does turn out pretty good. I would love to be given the opportunity to have this mixer so I can make my own treats and goodies for the holidays such as German vanilla cookies and my famous ginger bread cookies. I absolutely love your cooking show and want to be a baker when I get older. I also want to start my own baking business where I live. It's always been a dream of mine. Thank you so much for your time and again I love your Baking Chanel!:)

The first thing I would bake would be a Norwegian Christmas bread called julekake! My family and I have a baking party every year where everyone brings their own mixers and I don't have one so it would be nice to have to contribute to the party!

Who taught this woman how to make bread? Jim mark you never turn the mixer on high when You're kneading the dough. Unfortunately kitchenaid recently killed the killed the Mini.. I have Have several of them including one that's Empire red, A honeydew, And a Majestic yellow 1. I think they are very durable durable and very useful little workhorses workhorses and are perfect for doing doing smaller batches of things of things like whipping cream, Making single batches of pizza dough, Whipping eggs, And Cookie dough's. I just used mine today to to make a pumpkin pumpkin pie dump cake. I have several larger larger mixers like a 6 qt And 5 qt But they are too large to sit out on the counter the counter but the Mini fits perfectly it's perfectly in a corner. It also does not struggle at all when using any of the additional kitchenaid Hub attachments like the grinder, The juicer, And since I'm obsessed with curly fries really fries the spiralizer attachment attachments.

I am actually entering this for my uncle. He loves baking. It's something that he loves doing as it relaxes him. He is like a father to me so I really want to thank him for everything he's done for me. His birthday is on the 24th of November so I'd really like to gift this to him as a belated Christmas gift. He's always wanted a Kitchen Aid mixer but could never afford it. fingers crossed xxx Best of luck everyone!

You did the most AMAZING review I have ever saw! I am in the process of investing in my first Kitchen Aid Mixer and I was aiming for the mini, however my hopes and dreams are bigger than the mini. I guess I will be looking more into the Classic or Artisan. I LOVE....LOVE your channel and thank you so much for this review and the way you are so inspiring.

Mini or big, i still can’t afford buying one 😭

It would be AMAZING for me to win this! I just started a small online bakery with my family (to help us bond more) right now we're doing things by hand, so you can imagine how difficult it has been. If I win this adorable Mini Mixer the first thing I'd make is a Red Velvet Cake. A family favorite. :D Whatever the outcome, I love you and your channel. You have taught me so much in the years I've been subscribed to you. Thanks for everything you do, Jenn. You're awesome! ♥

the first thing I would bake is the doughnut recipe on your channel. it is so delicious and the first thing I made from scratch. I love you so much. you are amazing. you inspire me every day. I hope you never stop baking.

I love your videos. I've learned a lot from them. I started baking 31/2 years ago because I'm on disability and wanted something to do. Little did I know I would fall in love with baking. I agree the stand mixers are expensive. I was hoping my family got me one for my birthday that just passed by on the 17th. don't ever stop your you tube videos, they help me so much. Thank you

Ive wanted one of these forever!❤ i would definitely make a cheesecake!

Hey there, loved your review. When I was little my grandparents raised me and my grandmother had and still has a heavy duty mixer that she always used. Every Christmas we had a tradition that we would bake gingerbread cookies as well as shortbread with cherries on top and while they were cooling we would go see the santa clause parade then come back and decorate the cookies and I would spend hours doing the tiniest details with a toothpick. Those days are only a memory now but with 4 little girls I would love to carry on the tradition. As well I love to bake but with raising my little ones I don't have much spare time so if this did all the mixing for me I could get back to doing something that I'm passionate about. I would be so extremely grateful 😊💜

I love this small KitchenAid mixer and you're a really good presenter for them! I just got back into baking, b/c of digestive issues and am trying out the ancient grains for flour like kamut and einkorn and others. I'm new to your channel and love it!

The first thing I would make is my grandmother's original peanut butter cookies🍪, which are the bomb because the recipe for them is 68 years old! yum just thinking about them makes my mouth water...😋

You definitely should do more reviews, it was awesome! I would use it to start my holiday baking, I usually make a ton of cookies to give away so it'd come in handy.

I just bought the Mini in Candy Apple Red with 10% off for $162 total and the great part was it came with a bowl with a Handle. Some Mini’s Don’t have Handles in different colors , so my wife and I were happy to see that when opening it up. Yes it’s small. The Mini is perfect for 2-3 people in a house. You can make 1 loaf of bread and 1-2 recipes of pizza dough at 1 time. Instead of maxing it out to 5 dozen of cookies - I would suggest doing 2-3 dozen to start and then try 3-4 max after you get the hang of it. I know she did a funny demonstration maxing it out to 5 dozen for the demonstration to make us smile So don’t think this comment is for her. I know she knows how to cook. This is for us NEWBIES with new mixers or just months in people that bought one. Have a good day lol

This was so detailed! Thank you for taking the time to touch on all of the points. The soft start cracked me up! 😂😂😂 I would use this to make cookies!

First thing I would make would be cupcakes and frosting! 🍰

So exciting!! The first thing I would make with the awesome mini mixer would have to be some good old fashioned chocolate chip cookies!! Congrats to the lucky winner!

Love the mini. Gave my large Kitchen Aid mixer to my granddaughter. She is the baker! I would love to have a mini to prepare baked goods when my grandkids come to visit! Great video!

I would probably make bread or pizza dough or anything that would involve me being able to use the dough hook 😍 I really want to try it 😩

i really REALLY want this! The first thing I would make is different flavored cakes in mason jars to send off to my husband in Afghanistan! He won't be home for the holidays since he is deployed so this would be AMAZING!!!

You are fun! I have a mini on order for my birthday from my husband. It will be my first stand mixer (turning 65.) I started with one of the straight manual mixers that you hold in one hand and turn with other - all my mom ever used. Other than that, I have only used an electric hand mixer. Great review!

There are so many real food recipes I could look up and start making for my special cancer diet. I don't really get into baking, since I don't have the energy to mix anything. This mixer would definitely make my kitchen a more pleasant place to work, and easier. My children love this channel and are always eager to view your new videos. With the mixer, they will be able to make special cupcakes from one of your recipes - they are happy not to be on a natural diet.

That explosion on you at the begining💀🤣🤣 Looks like something I would do or would happen to me. Thanks for not editing it out lol Helpful review

I've been dreaming of owning a kitchen aid mixer since I started baking 9 years ago! The first thing I'd make is your Christmas cake with surprise inside 😊

The first thing I'd bake is my mom's amazing cheesecake! She passed away Oct. 2013 and no one in my family has had cheesecake since, I love cheesecake it's my favorite dessert and I'd be honored to make her recipe in a Kitchen Aid Mini!! I've always wanted one but they're too expensive for me. Thank you for the opportunity to try to win one and I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!! I wish you and you're family a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Hi Jen. I am Ellie and I have been baking for a year now. I have used all your recipes and all your tips on decorating cakes cookies and more. They just announced a new KitchenAid mixer and I am saving up but so far I've made no money!🙃 This KitchenAid mixer would mean the world to me because I've checked all the stores including William Sonoma, Kitchen Works, AC Moore and Michaels and they're all at least $500 or more. I am taking baking so seriously that I have already thought about Colaneri school! You are my idol and I love what you do with your cakes and cookies. I would love to make brownies, cookies, angel food cakes, cakes, cupcakes, etc. Also, since Thanksgiving and Christmas are around the corner I would love a new KitchenAid mixer for the holidays! (keep in mind I'm only 10 years old)! It's like that song, all I want for Christmas is a KitchenAid mixer! I am crazy excited for this giveaway and I've never enter the giveaway before so I hope this will be my lucky first time! I know there are at least 8,000 comments, but I hope this time, you will notice mine! Thank you for all that you have taught me and happy holidays!

What a great, thorough review! Love that you actually tried to make the five dozen cookies and other tests. Also you're hilarious, you gained a follower! :D

GINA GUTIERREZ IS THE WINNER!

Thank you for reviewing the 3.5 qt. I was looking at it online and wondered how big/small it really was.

I'm a professional baker I'm looking to buy a good mixer for my son's girlfriend. I'm use to using only Hobart much larger machines. Because I'm looking for a gift and don't want to waste my investment on a mixer that would not fit what she might use it for. I turned to youtube knowing this is a great place for good advice. After watching a few other reviews that fell short of answering my questions I found your review. I liked the fact you showed me more then one mixer side by side and you then showed me not one but two differed mixing jobs. I loved your opinion at the end as well. Thank you so very much this is going to help me in making my choice as to what machine I will be buying for my gift. Great job!

First of all I love your KZfaq channel, your stuff is pretty amazing and secondly, the first thing I would make with this wonderful mixer would be my famous buttercream frosting it was my great grammas recipe.

That sad moment when you get more and more excited for the giveaway throughout the video and then notice that you can't get it cause youre from the eu

I would bake my mother in laws cake recipe that i happen to write down long ago. She passed last year and we really miss her. Holidays are different. This Christmas I want surprise everyone with her cake. Wish me luck. But I would love the kitchen aid. Thanks for the review

For me as a retired person this Mixtec would be perfect. I love the artesian size. I would mostly use it for pie crust and cookie dough. Thanks for the video it was well done.

Thanks, this video had exactly the info I was looking for. I'll be making macaron.

If I were the winner I would probably make my grandmas banana chocolate chip muffins with cream cheese frosting it's a family favorite 😀👌

Just bought mine on Black Friday!! Its a holiday gift for both me and my mother, but I bought it because I will be using it more!! Can’t wait for it to come!🧡💜💛💙

OMG I’m just finding this video I love the mini. I know it’s probably too late for the giveaway though but please keep me posted if that opportunity comes again 😅

6:58 it blows away the Flour because it doesn't have the spring on where you put the beater.

The KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Metallic Chrome is the best mixer ttps://kzfaq.infoUgkxV-4_UFTAJEegRY8I2jrpCEthOr39izrZ I have had in the 53 years of marriage! It is a delight to use. I didn't think that we needed a mixer as I rarely made cakes or rolls because of our heart safe and dibetice diets. Previously our old mixer (another brand) burned out from making rolls. My Mother kept insisting that I needed a mixer. She bought this one for me. We are so happy that she insisted. The hook beater blends meat loafs, cookies, hamburger recipes so well that I don't have to use my athritic hands and does a quicker cleaner job. Also, it will help to make bread and roll recipes. Buying this mixer would not have been a problem for us. We just did not know that it would be useful. It's powerful motor allows us to cook more than we thought we could.

I would give it to my mum, she deserves it. She's always been an incredible cook, but over the past few years, with a divorce, moving house and losing her dad, she's gotten quite down and hasn't been baking as much anymore. I want to do something for her that will hopefully inspire her to get back into doing what she loves. 😊😊

I would love to donate this to a little girl that is 8 and seriously a baking prodigy! She loves your channel and is constantly baking cupcakes!

I would love to win this for my mom!! I've always wanted to get her one but I just can't afford it

Yay!!! 😍😍😍 I want to win this I wanted a mixer since I started baking but in my country it's so expensive so my mom can't afford. If I win, I would bake your upside down cake!!!! I've watched that video for 9999 times and I've been wanting to make it but I feel like it would take so much time since I don't have a mixer. I have to divide the batter, etc. I love your videos especially that birthday cake you made with Paityn 😍😍💙💙 I hope I'm able to enter but I don't live in canada or usa 😭😭 goodluck to everyone entering the give away 💁😍☺️

I was just in search of Stand Mixer for my Birthday. Always dreamed about KitchenAid, but couldn’t not afford it. Thanks for the great, detailed review. The first thing I would do with the mixer if I win, I would bake nice homemade bread, and probably would make some cookies too for my grandchildren.

I would bake my famous black forest cupcakes.....love this channel, it's a great channel that my daughter and I watch together and bond over our love of baking, THANK YOU!!!!!!!

I really WANT this so my little boy and I can make my husband all kinds of goodies and ship them off to Afghanistan for him and his battle buddies! I NEED THIS!♡♡♡

Im young and starting out and definitely don't have the money to buy a kitchen aid mixer myself even though I've been dreaming about it for years. If I won I would be so so sooooo happy and grateful and I would use it to make anything and everything from cakes to cookies, macaroons, meringues, buttercream, pizza dough anything you can think of it wanna try making 🦄💖 I love you're channel and everything you do I've been watching since forever and I really hope I win it would be so great! 🙏

I will for sure make cooking. I enjoyed the comparison. I have wanted one for so long Retired and really love cooking

I am 77 years old and just now getting into sourdough bread. I've been watching many youtube videos on bread making and the first thing I would make in this mini mixer is a loaf of sourdough bread!

he first thing I would do with the mixer is make and decorate Christmas sugar cookies

can the mini's attachments fit the regular sized one?

"Now we're going to test the slow start...." lol! On a serious note, that's for doing this review! Nice to see product reviews of smaller capacity devices.

Exactly what I wanted to know: The power hub at the front is the exact same as all the other mixers and the 12 different Kitchenaid attachments fit into the Mini’s power hub ... the one attachment that doesn’t work on the Mini mixer is the ice cream bowl which is too big for the Mini.

I wish I would have seen this video sooner for the giveaway 😂 great testing video though!

i would give it to my mom because she has wanted one but there to much money and if i win me and my mom will bake cupcakes together hope i win🎊🎉☺🎉🎊🎉☺☺

My parents are redecorating their home, and I wanted to get them something nice for the kitchen and figured that every aesthetically pleasing kitchen has a kitchenaid stand mixer. I was able to find this one in silver for $234!! My mom isn’t a huge Baker, but she’s getting more into making things from scratch because she loves to cook, I hope this is the perfect mixer for her 🤞🏼

Great review, very detailed. I like the part where she turns the mixer on full power!

If you paid $400 for the mini, you got ripped off.

if im the lucky winner me and my mom will bake along with you when we are watching your videos plzzzzzzzzz chose me i want it bad and dont have the movey to afford it

Hi!!!! If I were to be the lucky winner of this beautiful KitchenAid, I would bake a small batch of french Macarons!!! This is so perfect for those small baking needs so that you don't have to use a massive Mixer!!! Thank you so much for all you have taught us for this amazing opportunity!!!!

Hi. I'm so happy to have discovered your KZfaq channel. About two and a half years ago, my dad, who is 83 years old, moved in with my husband and myself, and from day one, he has been reminiscing (hinting) about how much he loved my grandma always having baked goods around the house. I, not being a baker, have tried several times, but without success, to make Grandma Florence's Lemon Meringue Pie, which is my dad's absolute favorite. So, if I win this lovely, little, niblet of a mixer, I will gather all the baking courage I have left, and try once more to bake my grandma's Lemon Meringue Pie, with the hopes of satisfying my dad's nostalgic sweet tooth.

The first thing I would bake is a marble glazed cake for the first for my family for Christmas.🍰 I know that they would love it and I'll be able to bake something again for the first in a long time.❤💕

Just started baking and losing the fear of working with yeast. I have a clunker cheap mixer that’s holding up and has gotten some mixing done for me. Looking forward to more of your videos. Thanks

What a fantastic idea that is, a smaller version. It's available in the UK but SO expensive at £399. I was expecting it to be about £199 that would be much more acceptable for what it is.

i would make a birthday cake for my grandsons birthday that is on December 19th. I loved your video. It was very honest and truthful. Love that.

Thank you for listing the prices.I really want a kitchen aid mixer,but they are all out of my budget.Hopefully one day I will catch a deal,or find one at a yard sale or Goodwill.Your information will be extremely helpful.

I am a retired baker and still like to bake at home. I would use this mixer to make french bread because breaking bread with friends and family is always special when it includes my home made butter which I could also make with this machine.

Thanks! Definitely going to get the mini. I don't plan to use it very often, but want the ease of one without having to always whip out my Breville hand mixer which is really great too.

The first thing I would make is this lumberjack plaid cake I keep seeing in my newsfeed!!! Thank you for the test- it's so nice to know how things function ahead of investing a good sum of money!

I would make sugar cookies and of course royal icing. My earliest memory is sitting on a kitchen counter while my mom cuts out Angel cookies for Christmas. When I tell her this memory she always smiles and tells me I couldn't have been more than 2 or 3 and it makes her so happy that I remember when she used to bake for me. Now with my own 2 year old I want to make it a tradition. Christmas cookies for the holidays. I know it's a very common widespread tradition, but in my family I didn't grow up with "it's tradition!" I grew up with a loving supportive mother. I follow so many youtubers like you! Sweet ambs, haniela, Montreal confections, ro on nerdy nummies. I want to bake for a living. I want my daughter to go to school with homemade bread for sandwiches. Maybe they'd be rainbow bread or a shade of pink. I want her to come home Monday afternoons to a special after school treat she can grab and enjoy to relax. And on Sunday's before going back to school we'll talk about what kind of after school snack that week will be. This stand mixer wouldn't be for me. But my daughter who I want to make everything for. 😊

I am in love with Mini, especially the Matte Black.... and have wanted on for a while! And first thing I would make would be a family recipe... we call it our Death by Chocolate Cake! 🔪🔪💀🔪💀🔪💀🔪💀🔪💀🔪💀🔪💀🔪💀🔪💀🔪💀💀🔪💀🔪💀

I really enjoyed your review of the Kitchenaid 3.5 quart mini stand mixer. I'm a little late for the giveaway (about 7 years!🤪) but I've been looking seriously at the Kitchenaid 3.5 quart mini for several different reasons. First, I'm single and don't need to make large quantities of anything anymore. Second, I currently own the 4.5 quart Ultra Power and it doesn't fit under my kitchen cabinets. It's very close, but the mini being about 1.5 inches shorter should fit perfectly. Third, because i could leave it out on my counter, i believe I'd use it more often. Currently i have to take my 4.5 quart ultra power out of my pantry and set it up. At 71 years old, lifting that heavy machine can literally be a pain!

Everything that's in your cookbook and ever that you made on your channel so far!!!!💖💖💖💖🔥🔥🔥🔥

the first thing I would make in this gorgeous mini kitchenaide is my tres leches cake because I have always wanted a kitchenaid and could never afford it and this recipe really works out my arm with my hand mixer !!

I started with a Classic then bought the Pro and gave it away. Thought larger, I found the Pro motor not being as powerful as the Classic. The Pro seemed to struggle on higher speeds even with the easiest of doughs. Plus the tilt head is much easier to work with. Yes I went back to the Classic and very pleased...

I would use it to bake a cake for my sister's birthday coming up. so excited to see this review.

Very good demo. The first i and my fiance would make is her " German stollen Christmas bread" it was her mother's recipe, it's a long family tradition to make it for Christmas. I like the little red mixer than the black though. Good luck everyone

Thank you. Mainly looking to use it for grinding meats. Like making my own ground meats for burgers and sausage. I like the size and with the same power, perfect

I am considering a mini. This video does help me a lot for a thorough understanding of its features. Thank you very much!

The first thing I would make with the mixer is probably cupcakes they are my favorite!!

You're so full of energy and i loved this video. I have wanted a kitchen aid forever. I would make a huge batch of island cookies and then a loaf of bread because who doesn't love bread right?! Thank you for the giveaway opportunity!!!

I would bake a Banana Cake with Fudge Filling and a Chocolate Buttercream Frosting. It's my boyfriend's favorite cake and he gets one every year for his birthday. It would be a fun surprise to make one for him a couple months before the big day!

I am trying to build a little home-based baking business. I would love to try the mini for frosting - I currently have an old Cuisinart 5.5 quart and it's too big to beat butter. I have to start frosting in a small bowel with an electric beater - this would really cut down on time and mess! The first thing I would make would be the lumberjack cake. I have wanted an excuse to make that since the summer! Thanks and love your videos!

If I was the lucky winner of the kitchen aid the first thing I would make with it would be a chocolate mousse cake or my great grandma's sugar cookies. I have wanted a kitchen aid since I was little. My grandma had one and we would always bake cookies or brownies with it when I would go and see her. Ever since then I have wanted a kitchen aid, but they cost a lot of money.
