Kenmore KSM100

Pros: Powerful, ease of use and cleaning, priced right

Cons: a bit noisy

The Bottom Line: Great Value. I'd buy it again and that's really the bottom line.

Review: I always wanted something better than my old 140 Watt hand-mixer so I checked out the newest (300 Watts) of the hand-held mixers. The problem with those (at least to me) was that I've never seen one used to make bread, mix icing, and do anything other...

Pros: Cheap, powerful, good looking

Cons: Attachments are harder to take out, but not too hard.

The Bottom Line: Finally I would totally recommend this to the beginners that want a good powerful mixer without having to spend too much.

Review: Well, I wanted to buy myself a mixer so I started to look for what I should buy. From checking a lot of places and watching TV, I had decided that I would buy myself a kitchen aid.

Now, you must take into consideration that I'm not a...

Pros: Solid, mixes well, nice features, nice controls

Cons: a little noisy, attachments go in and out hard

The Bottom Line: With well-thought-out features, lots of power, and an excellent price, the Kenmore is a great value.

Review: I bought my 600-watt Kenmore mixer after burning out the motor on a Kitchen Aid 325-watt. I didn't want to spend the $300-plus required to get a more powerful Kitchen Aid. The Kenmore was $5 cheaper than the 325-watt Kitchen Aid (and the Kenmore wasn't...

Pros: Value, power & performance

Cons: Noise

Review: After watching Food Network chef after Food Network Chef fire up a KitchenAid mixer, I just had to have one. Being a Type A personality, I started researching the various options. In my price range (under $400), there were only 2 options . . . KitchenAid ...

Pros: extremely powerful metal construction

Cons: extremely noisy at all speed ranges

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this mixer for people who don't mind the noise or its heavy construction. When making meringue be very careful not to get into the mechanism.

Review: This review is about the Sears Kenmore 16 speed stand mixer model number # KSM100. We purchased this machine for $184 back in April 2004 to replace a light duty one that burned-out. This mixer comes with a powerful microprocessor controlled 16 speed with ...

Pros: price power and kitchenaid attachments

Cons: noise and the fact that it is no longer available thru kenmore

Review: We just purchased one off ebay new for about $50. We had read on the reviews that the noise it made was horrible. When we received ours it too was very noisy. We opened it up and found that the transmission came from the factory with no grease. We ...

Pros: Great wattage, great price, has lots of nice features

Cons: Dubious construction quality

The Bottom Line: If light-duty mixing is all you need, then this mixer is for you. Be warned: this is not a heavy-duty mixer, and should not be used as such.

Review: Here is a copy of the email I received back from Sears Customer support: Dear Mr. Pfeifer, Thank you for contacting Sears. The Kenmore KSM100 mixer contains plastic gears. Greg Althoff Sears Customer Care webcenter@sears.com ...

Pros: Great concept - accepts Kitchen Aid attachments, powerful, smaller than the KA

Cons: Noisy... SHRILL!

The Bottom Line: It is a great alternative to the Kitchen Aid and takes up less space, but way to noisy.

Review: I was very excited to find this affordable mixer at Sears and was thrilled that it accepted Kitchen Aid attachments. My friend and I both bought one. I loved the fact that it was smaller than the KA and more powerful. The excitement ended for us both...

Pros: Looks great, great attachments, good size, great speeds

Cons: LOUD and BROKEN

Review: My husband did a lot of research on this machine and the Kitchen aids. This was such a great price for what you get (speed, size, etc etc). The first thing I noticed was that it was really loud. It almost sounded like a Pterodactyl was landing on my ...

Pros: It was strong, and I liked the soft start, so it didnt throw flower everywhere.

Cons: It was way to noisy, then it fell apart and is no longer usable.

Review: This mixer had plenty of power but put out lots of whiny gear noise. You couldnt hardly talk over it. After 1 1/2 years of light use (1-2 times a month) it broke. The whole bottom part with the gears and where you put the mixers fell off. It has a small ...
