Our 1.3 horsepower (HP) motor reference reflects the horsepower rating of the motor itself and not the mixer’s horsepower output to the mixer bowl. This robust motor, the backbone of our new mixer, delivers .44 HP to the bowl enabling your mixer to deliver consistent power to small and large loads with less heat build-up; resulting in years of dependable mixing. When combined with and guided by our new advanced motor control board, this is our longest lasting and most efficient motor yet. Simply put, our new, highly efficient, special purpose motor delivers the power you need when you need it. ## Features - NSF Certified for commercial use - whether you're mixing up batter or kneading a yeast dough, this mixer makes the process easier - Bowl-lift provides support for stable lixing, and the lever smoothly raises bowl into position for efficient beater-to-bowl contact, keeping it stable when mixing heavy ingredients or large batches - High efficiency DC motor runs longer with less heat build-up - get optimum torque with less heat build-up and easily handle recipes needing longer mixing, kneading and whipping times - 8-quart stainless steel bowl for small to large batches - Speed control protection reduces the risk of accidentally turning on the mixer when wiping it clean ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B0BJXYXYD1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #28,448 in Kitchen & Dining (See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining) #26 in Household Stand Mixers | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Brand Name | KitchenAid | | Capacity | 8 quarts | | Color | Contour Silver | | Controls Type | Knob | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (984) 4.5 out of 5 stars | | Included Components | (1) 8-Qt stainless steel mixing bowl (1) Stainless steel flat beater, (1) Stainless steel spiral dough hook, (1) Stainless steel 11-wire elliptical whip | | Item Dimensions D X W X H | 14.63"D x 13.31"W x 16.44"H | | Item Type Name | Commercial Stand Mixer | | Item Weight | 25 pounds | | Manufacturer | KitchenAid | | Material | Stainless Steel, Zinc | | Model Name | KSM8990CU | | Model Number | KSM8990CU | | Number Of Items | 5 | | Number Of Speeds | 10 | | Part Number | KSM8990CU | | Special Features | Manual | | Upc | 883049662237 | | Voltage | 120 volts | | Warranty Description | 2-YEAR REPLACEMENT LIMITED COMMERCIAL WARRANTY Visit kitchenaidcommercial.com for complete warranty details. | | Wattage | 500 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KitchenAid - **Capacity:** 8 quarts - **Color:** Contour Silver - **Controls Type:** Knob - **Item Weight:** 25 pounds - **Material:** Stainless Steel, Zinc - **Product Dimensions:** 14.63"D x 13.31"W x 16.44"H - **Special Feature:** Manual - **Voltage:** 120 volts - **Wattage:** 500 watts ## Images ![KSM8990CU 8-Quart Commercial Countertop Mixer, 10-Speed, Gear-Driven, Contour Silver - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PvH5dnhML.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this mixer come with all 3 of the working items, the bread spiral, the flat beater, and the wire whip?** A: The KitchenAid KSM8990 SpecSheet states "COMMERCIAL-GRADE ACCESSORIES COME STANDARD." Then it lists "Stainless Steel Spiral Dough Hook, Stainless Steel Flat Beater, Stainless Steel Elliptical 11-Wire Whip, 8-Qt Brushed Stainless Steel Bowl with “J” Style Handle." **Q: How many horse power is in this unit and what all comes with it?** A: The specs say: "Motor = 1.3 HP; 500 Watt DC"But anyone with an engineering background knows that 1hp=745watts so It's either 1.3hp/968w or .67hp/500w. It literally can't be both, unless they are claiming peak hp which occurs for milliseconds. Basically, the spec is marketing not a spec, so we don't know unless someone has one and hooks it up to a power meter while running to stall. **Q: what is the different between KSM8990 and this ?** A: The only difference is the Bowl Guard.Regards,SantechUSA **Q: will my k5 mixer parts fit? also what about the spray of flour as there is no shield?** A: Hi Mona! I have a k6 and the parts do fit. As the spray of flour, you don't have much to worry about since the 8qt bowl is a lot taller, the bowl itself serves as a shield ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The beauty and the beast! All in one package. *by on Reviewed in the United States March 13, 2015* We purchased this mixer when we got fed up by the Hamilton Beach 63227 that we’ve had for about 1 year. I was always eyeballing a KitchenAid, but when I found the Hamilton for just 60 bucks new I pulled the trigger. It was not a bad mixer, but it was never powerful enough, and regretted my decision every time I was using it. Well, time came to get a meat grinder attachment (the stainless SmokehouseChef one) and what a better opportunity to change our mixer? So we searched and researched and stumbled upon this commercial KitchenAid. What a great find!This mixer is similar in size to the Professional 600 we also considered. It is almost 17” tall, so it fits perfectly under the cabinet (and it looks fantastic too, orange cord included - tucked away in the back). And because it doesn’t tilt, I can keep it in one position and never move it (the Hamilton - a tilt head model - we needed to take out every time as we couldn’t tilt it under the cabinet). Also, the 8qt bowl is big (or at least that's my impression after switching from a 4.5qt one), but it is mostly tall. It is so tall in fact that there are issues adding ingredients - when we use this bowl we always have to lower it to add ingredients. It seems (from what I read) that the pouring shield from the Professional 600 6qt bowl fits this unit. But we never bought the shield - instead, to mitigate this issue we purchased the KitchenAid KSMC5QBOWL 5qt bowl for about 40 bucks) and that one is perfect for our everyday mixing needs.We love the fact that all attachments are stainless steel. Very good quality too and NSF rated for restaurant use. They are BIG, and solid! We switched most of our small appliances and cookware to stainless, and this is one very important reason we chose this KitchenAid unit (the Hamilton aluminum-coated attachments started to chip after just a few uses). We have tried all attachments and all performed very well. But we needed to adjust the bowl height to get them to properly scrape the edges. There is one attachment that we considered (the KitchenAid KAFE7L) but didn’t yet really feel the need for it.Using it is a pleasure! This thing is a beast. Nothing can stop it! It has so much torque! And it is do quiet too. It features a slow start - when it gets to the speed selected all you hear is a very quiet motor driving the gear drive (I cannot really explain it; it just sounds like a well-built, solid machinery). It mixes anything we through at it - pizza dough, play dough, paleo (sticky) dough, panettone dough, eggs, etc. - with so much ease. It also drives that meat grinder without any strain - almost as if nothing is there.The lift-bowl is a bit more inconvenient than the tilt-head model (as my Hamilton was) but the torque on this puppy would have probably torn that hinge apart. To see the true difference in the motor design please refer to the pictures I uploaded - the KSM8990 has direct drive, and the entire motor unit is actually cheaper to replace (about 50 bucks) than replacing all parts that could go wrong in the other 2 models.It is one of my best appliances (I try to purchase commercial quality as often as I can - I also have the Waring WFP14SC, the Waring MX1200XTX, the Weston 08-0801-W, among others) and I reach for it every time I have the chance.All in all, highly recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great investment! *by on Reviewed in the United States July 23, 2026* So far after 6 months this is a workhorse! If you are making larger batches its great. I use it to make cakes and it works great for me. I am glad I upgraded from my 5qt mixer ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality! Watch MINIMUM capacity! (Or add small bowl? *by on Reviewed in the United States June 28, 2026* Excellent mixer.But be cautious! Minimum capacity is a bread dough with about 500 grams flour.The disadvantage is that this high capacity mixer does not work for small batches. The paddle/dough hook just spins around on top of your batter if the bowl is not full enough.UPDATE : You can buy a 5 quart bowl for small batches ( available on Amazon). Be sure to get the one for this mixer (KSMC5QBOWL). That resolves the capacity problem :) ## Frequently Bought Together - KitchenAid KSM8990CU 8-Quart Commercial Countertop Mixer, 10-Speed, Gear-Driven, Contour Silver - KitchenAid KSMC8QBOWL 8-Quart Mixing Bowl with J Hook Handle, Stainless Steel, NSF, 8quarts - New Metro Design PC-10 Pouring Chute Compatible with KitchenAid Stand Mixer with Stainless Steel Bowl, Silver --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/487865769-ksm8990cu-8-quart-commercial-countertop-mixer-10-speed-gear-driven](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/487865769-ksm8990cu-8-quart-commercial-countertop-mixer-10-speed-gear-driven) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
