Kitchen Aid vs Breville | My Thoughts After 7 Years?

[@keaton718]

In Australia we say "Brevel", "Bre-ville" sounds so fancy. Very interesting to see an American baker prefer the Australian Breville over the US KitchenAid.

[@AlanisOcasio123]

We say Brevel in the USA too, never heard anyone pronounce it that way before

[@Mooncastyre]

I'm really impressed by Breville appliances. They are very sturdy and often have quality of life features that other appliances don't include. I have a Breville immersion blender that has a rubber bottom so it won't scratch your cookware, and cutouts to prevent suction. My husband bought their juicer. It's kind of massive, LOL. These things are workhorses. I've been wanting to finally invest in a stand mixer and, of course, I've looked into KitchenAid. I'm disappointed in how they're just not made like they used to be, plus the recent lead scandal is really turning me off. I'm surprised Breville isn't making it into a lot of stand mixer review lists. Very happy to see this video.

[@annskitchencreations]

Mine has lasted me for the last ten years, but I’m also not doing such heavy duty catering projects as before! I love the timing feature.

[@bipolarvortex]

I am going to try a Breville. I am tired of paying much more for the Kitchenaid only for them to burn out and need replacement. I’ll keep a Kitchenaid because of my investment in attachments, I’ll mix with the Breville.

[@mykael-soul-rock]

Nice Review! I have had my Kitchen Aid Pro Series for a little more than five years, now, and it's still going strong--no problems whatsoever. I've made multiple batches of biscotti dough, bread dough, heavy cookie dough, mash potatoes almost on a daily basis.

[@annskitchencreations]

Good for you ! I wish I had the same !

[@lauradallaston9676]

I really appreciate this - I am currently making my wedding registry, and I wanted to put a mixer in.. Kitchenaid seems overpriced to me but there was an overwhelming number of reviews saying they are the best. I have really positive experience with Breville, so am glad to hear this will do the job!

[@annskitchencreations]

Thanks for watching and best wishes on your new marriage!

[@77lsufan]

I love the Breville brand! Appreciate this review. Appreciate the review! My hand mixer just burned up and looking at options. Have Breville bread maker, milk frothing machine and food processor. All have been excellent.

[@annskitchencreations]

Glad I could help!

[@msteel2021]

What was your hand mixer? (So I can avoid it.)

[@77lsufan]

@@msteel2021 it was a cheapo Hamilton Beach.

[@msteel2021]

@@77lsufan Ahh....Thank you. I am in the market myself. I had a KA, but as stated earlier, I'm trying to avoid them. (might not be completely successful in that particular endeavor)

[@77lsufan]

@@msteel2021 I have a cordless Kitchen Aid hand mixer in route. I'll let you know thoughts once it arrives, and I've tried it out. When I have to replace my stand mixer, I'm definitely going with the Breville though.

[@ImyManzProductions]

Thank you for this review, you saved me from buying that KitchenAid 600 which I was considering but hesitant to buy, given some complaints I read. KitchenAid needs to learn a lesson for cheapening out on quality.

[@annskitchencreations]

Glad I could help!

[@jacedenny7160]

Honestly so helpful. Thank you

[@annskitchencreations]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sefraprince5481]

I had just about made up my mind to get a Breville mixer , then I saw the mixer attachment in your video , with the paint worn off 🤦‍♀️ That toxic material goes into your food 😢 Doesn’t anyone think about that ?

[@plasma800]

The gears in the head of the kitchen aid break teeth. The metal then breaks more teeth. The gears are a replaceable part on your counter top. I’m not condoning the kitchen aid. I’m only saying the sound of the red unit sounds like broken gears, and can be fixed for about $50 usd. I replaced the gears in mine once, but I’m considering a Breville for the tilting head and lower noise.

[@tomasinacovell4293]

Cookies I can do with a hand mixer, it's wholewheat dough I need a stand mixer for, what can I get for that?

[@annskitchencreations]

Whole wheat heavy bread making is what burned out my Kitchen Aid. I think Maybe Bosch works best for that!

[@frederickzahn4585]

how did u get that many years out of them i went through 2 kithen aids in less then two yrs and got less then a yr out of a breville now using a bosch for over 4 yrs

[@AlanisOcasio123]

That’s unfortunate, mine is 11 years old and still works perfectly

[@1DrBar]

That is a nice review. I was considering the Kitchen Aid series but after more than a year of casual looking around I find that the dissatisfaction with the brand's poor current quality to be too off puting to seriously consider a purchase. One detial on the Breville that has changed however is that the warranty is now one year - and they sell an extended 2 and 3 year second party warranty extension. That fact plus that they hide the information as best as they can on their site also makes me scratch this $400 dollar mixer from my list. I don't mind paying two or three times as much, but don't like dealing with companies that seem to be in quality decline as hinted by a drop in former service - so I'll keep looking.

[@annskitchencreations]

I used to do some heavy duty work with Kitchen Aid (catering/double batches,etc. it just didn’t hold up! Ive had my current Breville for at least 6 years but not catering as much and careful not to put double batches at one time.

[@sashineb.2114]

Nice video, thanks. I have a 32 year old KitchenAid, probably one of the last that was made with Hobart specs. It still works perfectly, although it probably should be re-greased. Did you look at Kenwood mixers when you did your reviews? They get good reviews, but some say they're not as good as they used to be, too. I'm hesitant to buy a mixer not made in USA in case of service problems, yet I don't really trust KA for a new one when the time comes. Thanks for your video.

[@annskitchencreations]

Sashine: I have not looked at Kenwood mixers. I'm not doing as heavy duty baking now as when I was catering and made breads and double batches of cookies. Most regular kitchen mixers are just now as well made as the old ones from the 80/90's. Kitchenaid is a good product, but I wont buy the big one again.

[@sashineb.2114]

@@annskitchencreations Thanks, Ann. We see KitchenAid in almost all cooking shows, KZbin channels, etc. and (generally) they get very good reviews on Amazon. When my 32 year old KA K5 quits, I will try to get it fixed. Failing that, I am thinking of the 7 quart ProLine, but maybe the Artisan will do. Time will tell. Thanks again!

[@sweetelash4045]

Hello mam i am planning to buy stand mixer which brand will you prefer breville or kitchen aid? Help pls

[@annskitchencreations]

There are pros and cons for each. I own the Breville now and I like it, but I haven’t had lots of use like when I was going heavy baking projects. I definitely won’t buy the larger caps it’s 6 qt kitchen aid as they do not last as promised for large capacity projects as they burn out fast. But for 5 qt I would buy the kitchen Aid.

[@surething1656]

Great to know!

[@annskitchencreations]

Thanks for watching!

[@msteel2021]

Thank you so much for your great review. I grew up on Kitchenaid. My mother went through several, but she liked to make her own flour for her breads. This turned out to be too much even for the old KA's. I've had a few since then. The last one was a pro. However, a nasty divorce took that one from me, so I have no idea if it is still running. I have heard so many horror stories lately regarding the KA's. They seem to be getting exponentially worse in quality recently. I thought about going with their parent company, Hobart, but OMG!!!! they sure are proud of them. I've used them before, and they sure are work horses though. I'm looking at the Breville's now and have been impressed by the reviews. I wouldn't buy the hand mixers though. Nasty reviews.

[@annskitchencreations]

Unfortunately, I am old enough to know that really good appliances that were made 25 years ago are still working and most of the appliances now-a-days have been outsourced and nobody even knows that good sturdy appliances ever even existed! So sad. My daughter has a Sumsung fridge that has been fixed so many times and still not working......

[@msteel2021]

@@annskitchencreations Oh yes. It is all too common for those new fancy smancy appliances, whether it be a washer/dryer, mixer, range or refrigerators, they all seem to fail in not time at all. This was done intentionally a few generations ago. A decision made by most of the major corporations getting together and decided..."for the sake of the economy", to intentionally make their products self destruct. They programed us to be a disposable world. Until we stop buying their crap this will continue. However, I think everyone is getting sick and tired of this BS and MAYBE things will get better. Not holding my breath though.

[@chevyguy6961]

@@annskitchencreations My K45-SS is 45 years old, and my K5-A Lift Bowl is over 50 years old. The K45-SS is great for light to medium batters , and doughs. The K5-A will do hard wheat dough if you keep it to a 3 pound batch and use a spiral dough hook. The mixer will get warm so let it cool down between batches.

[@annskitchencreations]

@@chevyguy6961 my daughters KA from her wedding in 1998 is still going strong. I gave her a new bigger 600 Pro for a gift and it burnt out with no replacement parts after 5 years.

[@ForeverGodsGirl03]

I've been hearing alot of bad things about Kitchen aid mixers lately. I also have been hearing alot of people loving those Bosch mixers. They are better than Kitchen aid

[@annskitchencreations]

I use the Breville! But I also have a Bosch and use that for making large batches of bread.

[@msteel2021]

About the only mixers worth their salt lately seems to be the commercial Hobart's. Insanely priced though. Even the used ones are over priced.

[@BMac-dr8oc]

Thanks Ann for the great review. I am trying to figure out which one to buy at the moment so very helpful. Very disappointed to find that after spending $600 that this is not a lifetime purchase....After reading your review I kept searching and found these links from Mr. Mixer who goes into great detail on the Kitchenaid mixers and how easy it is to repair and take care of them. Maybe this will be helpful to some people with broken machines. This clip goes into the differences(Really the extreme similarities) of the Kitchenaid mixers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZfYY3hnodWbZsU And this one talks about how to fix yours :) You probably need two videos. One on how to change the control board(Super Simple) and the other on how to regrease(while you are replacing the control board). kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqnHgqF8aqaai80 Thanks again for the great review.

[@dennishurt4314]

My KitchenAid failed after 5 years. It's motor can't be stressed for too long.

[@moonbladem]

Stay away from KitchenAid. Their new mixers have nylon worm gears instead of metal gears. They've cheapened the brand by cutting corners but still charging premium prices. Their Pro line reportedly still uses metal gears, but as you've mentioned in your review, yours broke down pretty quick as well. Myself? I'm looking into a Breville. It sounds really noisy in your review though.

[@annskitchencreations]

Sorry to say. It most every appliance has been outsourced now and not up to par( and twice as expensive!) my Breville doing great cuz I’m no longer making heavy duty doughs.

[@ragnarsarchitectureandgard2628]

Ca va assez bien pour une machine francaise.

[@lmherdz]

they don't make the KitchenAids the way they used to

[@sashineb.2114]

Very true. Mine is from 1989, so it's 32 years old, and still going strong because it was made with the Hobart specs. In the 1990s the quality really went down when they switched to plastic gears.

[@annskitchencreations]

Almost all appliances are not made to last any more. The best days are behind us as far as appliance reliability. Too bad, cuz they are so expensive and you don't get what you paid for.

[@williampotter2098]

I have a Breville Mixer that squeaks. There is no obvious way to remove the top to grease it. There isn't a single video I can find that discusses this. As a matter of fact, I haven't found ANY video about Breville Mixers. Don't buy one.
