Thank you for sharing, I have the standard size but will eventually upgrade to 8 quart, just have to start baking more before my wife will ok it, but definitely looking forward to getting it.
Glad I could be of assistance! I wasn’t even sure when I bought the commercial mixer that any attachments would work. I’m not sure why there is lack of information on it. Thanks for watching!
it'd be nice to see how you can wash these attachments too! Like is it easy to get it clean in the dishwasher? is it designed in a way that pools a lot of gross water?
None of the attachments that hook onto the front of the KitchenAid are dishwasher safe. The only ones you can put in the dishwasher are the beaters and dough hooks. The most annoying one to wash is the grater/slicer attachment, just because there are so many nooks and crannies to it. Hope that answers your question. Thanks for watching!
The KSM8990 is like mine, the KSMC895ER has the metal bowl guard. As far as the UK model, what I can tell with a quick search, is it is similar to the KSMC895ER. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I would think the main difference would be the outlet plug would match the UK instead of the ones in the states. All the attachments should still work, but I’m not positive. Hope that helps, thanks for watching!
@@the.kitchenmom Yeah that’s my thoughts too. I’m guessing your KSM8990 is similar to 5KSM7591 with different accessories. Would be so much easier if KA kept the same models internationally lol Thanks for the reply
So, the thing is your mum’s might KitchenAid might have been pre Whirpool. Hobart sold the KitchenAid division to Whirlpool in 1985, but the deal wasn’t finalised until 1986. So I know you said for about 20 years she had it, which would make it post Hobart (and those are the KitchenAids that apparently just DO NOT last as long as Hobart’s KitchenAids used to last. Like I literally just read a post where someone inherited their grandma’s mixer. The model that person inherited first came out in 1937, however, they kept making that design until 1955. So, it’s unclear at this point how old the mixer is, but it’s anywhere between 69 to 87 years old. That mixer still works well. That Hobart KitchenAid quality just isn’t there anymore. However, I do think that people nowadays are too distracted and aren’t used to reading manuals (69-87 years ago people were more disciplined imho) - so, I think some of them not lasting for too long is due to people misusing the machine and not taking the best care of it. Older generations used to service their mixers/ sewing machines/ etc regularly, and nowadays people just expect it to work and work and work until it simply breaks, and then instead of repairing it, they buy new. Anywaaaayy… I have a few questions? How old is your mum’s mixer (did she buy it from new), and does she service it regularly/ occasionally? I just purchased a 5KSM7990XBER, and I just want to make sure that I take the best care of it as I possibly can. 😅
Thanks for your questions! My mom would have purchased her mixer new around 2000 maybe 2001. It would definitely be post Hobart. I do not recall it ever being serviced, nor is that something I would see my mom doing. I think she may have just gotten a really good one in the luck of the draw. I totally agree with you that things are just not made with the same quality anymore. I hope you enjoy your new mixer and that it lasts you a long time! Thanks for watching!
Can you make a gelato for us please? I’d like to see how it turns out. Thank you 😊

Thanks for watching! The 8 qt is definitely worth looking forward to!
Thank You so much for making this video there are very few videos on the attachments for the commercial models for some reason

Great informative video.
What’s the difference between KSM8990, KSMC895ER and UK model 5KSM7990XB ?
The KSM8990 is like mine, the KSMC895ER has the metal bowl guard. As far as the UK model, what I can tell with a quick search, is it is similar to the KSMC895ER.

@@d1ppaz I agree with the same model numbers internationally, I can only imagine how many different numbers they have to keep track of.
