The Classic is the entry KitchenAid: a 4.5 quart bowl, ten speeds, and the same attachment hub as the bigger models, so the pasta roller and meat grinder fit later. It handles cookie dough, bread dough and whipped cream without walking across the counter.

It is a big gift, best for a wedding, a first house, or a baker who has been making do with a hand mixer.
