KitchenAid

KitchenAid is one of the most recognisable brands in kitchen appliances. The brand was founded in 1919 as a division of the Hobart Manufacturing Company, an industrial leader renowned for producing heavy-duty dough mixers for commercial bakeries and the US Navy.

The first KitchenAid stand mixer, the H-5, was effectively a scaled-down industrial machine, bringing professional-grade mixing technology into the domestic kitchen for the first time. The brand name itself emerged when an executive’s wife tested an early prototype and remarked, “I don’t care what you call it, it’s the best kitchen aid I’ve ever had.” This philosophy continues to define the brand today.

Iconic Design & Performance

KitchenAid’s unique selling point is the perfect translation of industrial power into a user-friendly form factor. The brand is famous for inventing “Planetary Action” mixing, where the beater rotates in one direction while orbiting the bowl in the opposite direction.

For professional operators, the key distinction is in the Heavy Duty and Commercial series. Unlike the domestic models, these machines are NSF-certified and engineered with high-efficiency DC motors that deliver consistent torque at low speeds without overheating. They feature all-metal gears, heavy-duty bowl-lift mechanisms (rather than tilt-heads) for stability with heavy doughs, and stainless steel safety guards required for commercial health and safety compliance.

Why Choose KitchenAid?

KitchenAid is the choice for venues that need reliability without the bulk of floor-standing industrial machinery.

• Durability: Built with full die-cast metal construction and direct-drive motors, these machines are known for lasting decades rather than just years.
• Consistency: The planetary mixing action ensures ingredients are fully incorporated without the need for constant bowl scraping.
• Aesthetics: For open kitchens and front-of-house spaces, KitchenAid remains one of the few commercial-grade equipment brands that actively enhances the visual appeal of the workspace.
