More about KitchenAid

The KitchenAid brand name was born nearly a century ago when Ohio engineer Herbert Johnson invented the first household eggbeater. During the testing phase the wife of one of the company directors exclaimed: “I don’t care what you call it, it’s the best kitchen aid I’ve ever had”. During the following years the brand has never stopped inventing and improving innovative solutions for cooks. In the 1930s, KitchenAid recruited Egmont Arens, a nationally acclaimed editor and world-renowned designer, to create three new stand mixer models. Arens’ concepts held such timeless simplicity and function that they remain virtually unchanged to this day. Always a trendsetter, KitchenAid introduced daring new colours at the 1955 Atlantic City Housewares Show which were a bold departure from the white appliances seen in kitchens of the time. In 2013 KitchenAid introduced the new Artisan line comprising a 4L Food Processor, Electric Kettle, Cordless Blender, 2 and 4 slice Toasters and 14 and 16 cup Food Processors. Today, the KitchenAid stand mixer boasts the widest range of colours on the market. The original tilt-head stand mixer remains timeless in its simplicity and function. A style icon of the 21st century, it continues to deliver uncompromising performance and is, quite simply, the ultimate culinary companion for both gourmet chefs and home cooks worldwide.
