While I love the look of my KitchenAid Stand Mixer I did notice that I had to wash it or wipe it down before use as it had a tendency to collect dust. I decided to find a cover to keep the dust off. There are a few features you want to look for before purchasing a cover for your KitchenAid Classic Mixer.
First of all be sure you choose a KitchenAid Mixer cover that is big enough to fit over your mixer model. A tight fit will tear the cover and decrease its useful life. If unsure, better to purchase a cover that is too large.

The style of the cover is another consideration. Some covers have no features. There are others that actually have a pocket in the front. This style makes storing recipes and attachments quite easy. Of course if you already have ample storage in your kitchen then you may not need this feature.
Quality
The quality of the cover is another consideration. Try to choose a KitchenAid Mixer cover that has quilting and uses heavyweight cotton. This type of construction helps prevent tearing, fraying and overall wear of the cover.
It is always good to purchase a product that has protection against malfunction. There are KitchenAid Mixer covers that actually come with a 1-year warranty. This warranty is fairly trouble free with very few conditions for replacement.
Cleaning
Ease of cleaning is another consideration. As the cover is being used in the kitchen it will most likely end up spattered in grease, dotted with tomato sauce or splotched with milk. Therefore be sure to purchase a KitchenAid Mixer cover that can be easily washed in the washing machine. You do not want to purchase a cover that will fall apart when washed.
Things To Consider
Finally a KitchenAid Mixer cover that matches your kitchen décor is most desirable. Having a Tucson style kitchen with a lime green KitchenAid Mixer cover is not very true to the décor. These covers come in a myriad of patterns and solid colors to match any kitchen style be it modern or traditional.
Of course the cheaper the cover the better. However, there are plenty of cheaply made covers that will not last. Stay true to your appliance and select a cover that was made for the KitchenAid Mixer. While it might cost more it will last longer than the cheaper brands. Since you were willing to invest in the best mixer it is best to invest in the best mixer cover.
To find a KitchenAid Mixer cover, begin your search online. There are many companies that mass-produce these covers in all kinds of materials and covers. There are even some companies that will custom make your KitchenAid Mixer cover to match your kitchen décor. Prices will range from $20.00 -$40.00 depending on the style of cover you choose to purchase.
Cover Features
- The cover should fit both the bowl life and tilt head style KitchenAid Mixers.
- The cover should be heavy cotton with quilt stitching.
