Kitchenaid Reviews 672

Four months later…KitchenAid do not respond to any emails in response to a product to be returned. I can’t stay on hold in the hope they may answer the phone eventually.

I don’t believe I’ve ever experienced such a disregard for customers.

I have multiple KitchenAid products, they perform average, certainly not the premium experience I expected. I guess Ninja is the way to go for future purchases?

I cant even give away the icecream maker bowl….what a waste and 100% the worst consumer experience ever.

Update 05Jun2025: Persistence of one email a week to the empty void of KitchenAid Customer care resulted in a response after 14 emails. Full refund received today. Customer service should never be managed this way.

I’m very disappointed with kitchen ai customer service
I tried to phone yesterday my 4 litre artisan food processor is not working properly the blade moves up when making pastry instead of a ball it’s a flat mess
It is only five years old it fully stopped working one Then started I was phoning for 35 minutes and still not answer d I gave up I wanted to know if there was a new one that would take all my accessories blades 🙁 I’ve got a new magimix coming today I have allergies so it’s important I have a food processor

Customer service is nonexistent, ordered a stand mixer it has an oil leak, tried to call and was on hold for hours so filled out the form on their website, no response. Tried to call again, eventually got through calling first thing on a Monday (still on hold for an hour), they told me to email them only for them to reply to my email saying they can't help and i had to call. I haven't managed to get hold of them on the phone since then. Luckily I did not order direct and the supplier has been great at arranging an exchange

Agree with all the reviews. Ordered a coffee maker, delivery was delayed with no notice. Looks like there's no customer service, emails are ignored and you have to wait on hold for an hour before you can speak to someone. Had to cancel my order.

I think you have to invest at least something in customer support if you want to sell in the UK market.

I'd leave 0 stars if I could. Like others, I really wish I'd read the reviews on Trustpilot first. I just assumed that KitchenAid would be a quality company. I received an Artisan mixer after buying online, and on first use it blew up. As KitchenAid UK don't do exchanges, I ordered another one as I was within 14 days of their free returns policy. What a mistake. I used their website to return my order, and I've received nothing back whatsoever. I also emailed KitchenAid, and received no response. I am now on the phone, and have been waiting for someone to answer for 40 minutes. I suspect that I'm going to have a nightmare with this. I'm currently stuck with a £385 broken mixer that I don't want. My advice - don't buy from KitchenAid. If you're reading this KitcheAid, please get in touch so that I can return the faulty goods and get a refund.

Update: 50 minutes on the phone, and when it rang through, they cut me off straight away.

Update 2: After another 45 minutes on the phone waiting, I got through. I don't know where the call centre is based, but the line quality was terrible. KitchenAid emailed me a returns label (which should just be part of the online automated process). I was told that a refund would be 14-30 days following receipt of the item, which is pretty terrible. I won't be buying any more KitchenAid products, and certainly not from them directly. What a mistake - it's not worth the hassle.

100 percent agree with all these comments. An absolute disgusting company please don't buy from them. Ours like many others has a lid defect!! £370! For a toaster and kettle never again. I purchased the USA made mixer 5 years ago. I now note they are designed in the US but built elsewhere. Probs china. 😂... Anyways no answer to calls exceeding 45 mins and the worst email service of any company I know . Horrific experience. Would love for them to see this. I doubt t they give a shit

Bought a very expensive kettle.
The lid repeatedly gets stuck
Pushing the on button causes the kettle to slide across the kitchen surface.

Worse of all, their customer support is atrocious!

I will never buy from them again and advise everyone to avoid them.

I tried to take advantage of Kitchen Aid's sale and put over £600 worth of products in the basket. Despite several attempts and varying combinations, the sale would not complete, showing error messages every time. I completed an online contact form for customer assistance, but 24 hours later, still no reply. Tried calling them today, still on hold after 30 minutes, so gave up, spent my £600 elsewhere.

AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE. Can't believe I thought buying direct from KitchenAid would mean I get better aftercare - wish I'd checked this sooner. Mixer arrived faulty, I've tried without success to get hold of them via various contact forms or emails, and absolutely nothing. The online returns system is faulty which means I've received no returns label online. Stuck on hold for 50 minutes and eventually it was answered but no-one spoke on the other end, it was just left off the hook and then hung up. Will I ever get my money back? I will never buy from KitchenAid again, I will be replacing this with a Kenwood. The amount you pay for these items you expect quality product and quality customer service but they give you neither.

I have written 3 times about a faulty item and an automatic reply sent saying 'will respond within 24 hours' and they never reply. I have phoned and an automated phone message gives an alternative email which bounces back. This is a very untrustworthy company who take no responsibility for their products or customer satisfaction. Such a shame as I have many of their products and now I will never purchase another one due to lack of communication. KITCHENAID if you are reading this please respond to me to avoid further disappointment.

Unpleasant surprise
Las week we made a claim of our bowl 5 Quart Tilt-Head Metallic Finish Stainless Steel Bowl, that has fast and gradually lost its colour and become very ugly. Kitchen Aid accepted the claim but informed that the bowl is out of stock. We suggested that we then would pay the difference for the one in stock with the same colour, 5 Quart Hammered Copper Bowl. The response we received wad negative and we were informed that we must wait until the fabric has produced "our bowl".......! This without giving us any estimation whatsoever of delivery time!
A small reflection. Last week I made a claim to IKEA for our kitchen tap (installed 2021). We were informed that our tap was out of stock, that we could choose another tap, and that IKEA pay back the difference to us. Yesterday IKEA installed the new tap we had chosen. That is to be service minded!

Our mixer still has warranty and we want to reach out them. But unfortunately they do not answer calls after 1,5 hours on the customer service line.

I usually associate KitchenAid with high-quality products, but my recent experience has been incredibly disappointing.

I sent my Artisan Mixer in for repair (Ref: 6270148842), and although I did receive a unit back, it arrived with clear physical damage. The main body has a dent, and the metal band is both loose and visibly dented.
To make things worse, I received an email on 13th March 2025 saying the product couldn't be repaired—but the message was corrupted and unreadable. Since then, I’ve tried to contact KitchenAid support multiple times and even spent over hours on the phone waiting for someone to pick up—with no luck at all.

I’m frustrated, confused, and frankly shocked by the lack of response and accountability. I’m more than happy to provide photos and just want someone from KitchenAid to take ownership of this and help resolve it properly

The worst company to buy from, received a new mixer as my old one broke to be expected to pay £112 import taxes which they said they would refund. They have not refunded and when you call the customer service agent just hang up on you.

This has got to be one of the worst companies to buy from , the power of marketing makes us believe this is a top rate company and product but in reality their machines are very poorly designed and unreliable, our mixer broke on first use it was returned and the machine we received back refused to work on its first use. For two machine to fail on first use tells me this company and machine are terrible.
I would recommend everyone stay away from this company and buy from a more reliable manufacturer. I am sorry I paid for this blender and will never recommend them or buy from them, indeed I will tell anyone thinking of buying kitchen aid to look elsewhere.
Awful experience!

Don’t buy KitchenAid products. They are unreliable and their customer service is a total joke and insult. They don’t acknowledge the unreliability of their products or offer suitable replacements.

Worst customer service ever! No reply to email. First call hung up after waiting 35minutes. 2nd call advisor was unhelpful and hung up because he couldn't be bothered any more. Bought a £900 mixer and this is what you get?! Really good products but I'll never buy from them again or recommend to anyone.

I bought an Artisan mixer when it was on sale. I bought from Kitchenaid direct so I would get good after sales service. A week later, on the second occasion of using the mixer it overheated and started smelling. I rang Kitchenaid and was advised to send it back and they would issue vouchers (not much good because the mixer had gone up in price) They said they could not exchange it in the UK. When I told them I did not have the original box I was told I could not get any kind of refund. I sent an email to complain which was ignored. The worst customer service I have experienced in years.

Artisan toaster bought in November, no longer toasts evenly so bread is either burnt or barely toasted on one side. Have emailed using as many email addresses as I can find - all unanswered except one who replied weeks later asking for more information. I replied and got a response saying “emails can currently not be responded to”. Phones not answered - have hung on for over 40 minutes multiple times. Tried messenger and accidentally contacted US site - got a response in less than 24 hours. Unfortunately they could not help when they realised I was a uk customer and redirected me to the uk page where unsurprisingly my message remains unread.
Not sure how to proceed when you can’t actually speak to anyone! Not acceptable when the products cost so much.

I had an old and always reliable KitchenAid Artisan food mixer that, sadly, broke down so I contacted KitchenAid to ask about repairs of machines no longer in warranty. There is a company that they use here in the UK so for a fee to be paid to the repair company (£180) I sent my beloved machine off for a repair. Unfortunately, after 7 months, the repair company eventually managed to break my machine completely in half and I was devastated. They did refund me my £180 but I was without my machine. A couple of phone calls to KitchenAid and I was in touch with Kevin and Natalie from the Europe Office who were so sympathetic and helpful and sent me a shiny red KitchenAid Artisan machine with a few extra attachments. I was delighted, I was not expecting a replacement. Unfortunately, after 2 batches of bread making this machine also grinded to a holt! Horrified I was advised to return to the same company that broke my original machine but I was assured that my original experience was very unusual so, reluctantly, I returned this machine too! Within a couple of weeks later it had been returned and, although I'm not as confident as I was with my original, it does work smoothly but I do think the new Artisan models are not as robust as the older machines so not really suitable for bread making! However I have found the KitchenAid employees who came to my rescue were so professional and incredibly understanding and helpful I do believe that Kevin and Natalie should be mentioned by name because they truly went above and beyond excellent customer service. Thank you so much!
