The Facts
The Classic 275-watt 4 ½ quart stand mixer is a great piece of equipment for the everyday baker. It isn't as powerful as some of the other KitchenAid options, but it will handle your basic baking needs with ease as long as you aren't planning on baking bread everyday.

Final Thoughts
Although the weakest stand mixer in the KitchenAid line, it is easy to use and built to last just like the others. The lower price tag also makes it a more appealing.
