K45

The “K45” type includes tilt-head models branded (in the US) as “Classic”, “Classic Plus”, “Ultra Power”, and “Artisan”. It is the bread-and-butter KitchenAid mixer, descended from the original model “K” introduced in 1937.

KitchenAid has used many model numbers for this type, but internally they are all the same. Example model numbers include (this not a complete list): K45, K45SS, KSM90, KSM75, KSM88, KSM103, KSM110, KSM150, KSM160, KSM175, KSM180, KSM195.
