The Green Revolution: A Wooden Twist on an Icon

Move over stainless steel—KitchenAid is taking things to a whole new level with the Evergreen stand mixer. The biggest change in years? It’s all about that stunning wooden mixing bowl. Imagine this: a deep matte green finish that screams fall foliage, paired with a glossy walnut wood bowl that adds a touch of natural elegance. It’s like your stand mixer just stepped out of a woodland fantasy and into your kitchen. And hey, who wouldn’t want a little autumn magic right on their countertop?


“Evergreen marks a first for the brand by introducing outdoor elements to the iconic stand mixer like never before,” Chad Ries, global brand director for KitchenAid small appliances, said in a statement. “KitchenAid appliances are designed to engage all of your senses and rekindle the excitement, connection, and inspiration found all around us. Evergreen was inspired by the natural elements that make us feel connected to the outdoors.”


Adding to its charm are the brass-plated hub covers, decorated with a delicate leaf design. It’s a nature-inspired touch that makes this mixer a real conversation piece. Who knew a kitchen appliance could be so... poetic?


Function Meets Form: The Mixer That Does It All

But let’s not forget that a mixer’s true worth is in its functionality. And KitchenAid didn’t skimp here. The Evergreen features a tilt-head design and 10 speeds, ready to tackle anything from your grandma’s famous cookie dough to a hearty bread dough. Plus, it comes with essential attachments like a stainless steel flat beater, dough hook, and wire whip. And if you’re feeling adventurous, you can snag over 10 additional attachments separately. Imagine whipping up a batch of cookies or kneading dough with this beauty—it’s like having a personal sous-chef who’s also a piece of art!


KitchenAid has also ensured that the wooden bowl is as durable as it is beautiful. A bit of food-safe wood conditioner now and then will keep it looking fabulous for years to come. Trust me, you’ll want to keep it looking sharp; it’s too pretty to hide in a cupboard!


The Buzz Online: Mixed Reviews and High Praise

Over on Instagram, the Evergreen has received a warm welcome, with even Jennifer Garner giving it a thumbs up (or rather, a smiley face emoji). Some fans are so smitten they’d be happy just to have it sitting pretty on their countertops. “I don’t even bake, but I just want it to sit pretty on my kitchen counter,” one X user gushed. Sound familiar? Who else has ever bought a kitchen gadget just because it’s cute?


However, the Evergreen isn’t without its critics. Some are wishing for the wooden bowl to be sold separately or fit the larger lift mixers. And let’s not forget the price tag—$699.99 might make you think twice. As one TikTok user humorously put it, “Will it make me bake and cook? For $700, it better make me do something.” Can we get an amen to that?


The Verdict: Worth the Investment?

If you’re looking to infuse some autumnal magic into your kitchen and don’t mind dropping a few extra dollars, the KitchenAid Evergreen mixer is a fantastic way to do it. With its sleek design and unique wooden bowl, it’s sure to turn heads and make your seasonal baking even more enjoyable.


So, whether you’re a baking aficionado or just someone who appreciates a touch of elegance in the kitchen, the Evergreen might just be the splurge you need to welcome the fall season in style. And who knows? It might even inspire you to bake those cookies you’ve been dreaming about!
