KitchenAid makes a bold move with its newest mixer

It’s no secret that I am a KitchenAid stan – I have a 7 quart Professional and most of the accessories that they offer. Even though I have a standard color (Empire Red), I never had mixer envy even when a gorgeous new hue hit the scene – until now. KitchenAid’s latest stand mixer is a knockout but it is more than just the machine’s color that grabbed my attention: the bowl is wooden!

The 2024 Design Series Stand Mixer is a deep forest green with a matte finish, which I’m on the fence about. There is no denying that the color, combined with the brass-plated hub cover and trim band with a subtle leaf motif, is striking. But what really sets this mixer apart is its walnut wood bowl. KitchenAid’s press release says that “Evergreen brings the beauty of nature to your countertop as it connects you with the outdoors every time you enter the kitchen.” It’s utterly gorgeous, and KitchenAid says that the walnut bowl is as easy to maintain as any wooden utensil or surface, requiring only a few swipes with wood conditioner to keep it looking good.

This is the biggest change that KitchenAid has made in years. While I think the bowl would look fantastic on my kitchen counter, I prefer the bowl-lift models and the power of my 7-quart mixer so I will only admire this from a distance. There is no indication they will make a wooden bowl available for the bowl-lift / Professional series models. What do you think of the latest addition to the KitchenAid pantheon?

    I could only find the tilt model with a short wooden bowl on their site following your link. This looks like a bowl lift model with an even more amazing wooden bowl.

    I agree it looks very cool, but wont a bowl like this have a hard(er) time with whipped cream for example?

    My white Kitchen-aid mixer with bowl lift sits cozily protected by a black quilted cover. Hidden, but accessible as my roll top equipment bays could not accommodate my mixer because of the roll top taking up “ceiling” space. On the counter it goes, shrouded with it’s accessories tucked away in a drawer. I too had mixer envy when I saw this new jewel. Sumptuous green with gold/bronze accents. And that wood bowl. It’s one of those things that need to be caressed.

    Now, could I place an order for a lift bowl in oak, please? That would save me a lot of money from having to redo my kitchen to match the green and walnut color scheme of the new mixer.
