Because of that arrangement, we felt most comfortable using the mixer with the nose facing forward, which meant that we could reach the controls with both hands at the same time if we needed to. While some stand mixers have all the controls on one side, this one has the speed controls on the left and the tilt-head lock is on the right. Even better, this mixer comes in a dizzying array of colors-nearly 50-and special editions are sometimes released, adding to the options. It’s hard to imagine a kitchen where this mixer wouldn’t fit.
Smooth, rounded lines make it seem aerodynamic and a bit retro, but still modern.
The look of the KitchenAid stand mixer is so iconic that other kitchen appliances have been designed to evoke the same aesthetic. The Spruce Eats / Donna Currie Design: Iconic
