Chapter Eight -- KA model K-3


CHAPTER EIGHT

KITCHENAID MODEL K-3 MIXER


 

 

 

 

1939 Model K-3 A 3 speed model was introduced. This is a nice little mixer designed to compete with the cheaper more affordable Sunbeam mixers.

 

 


 



ATTACHMENTS

Has only a multi-purpose beater. There is no dough hook or flat beater made for it as this mixer was designed for light duty home use. As you can see, the beater is a different style than those used on the later 3-A, 3-B, 3-C and 4-C mixers. The additional spiraled wire on the beater is unique to this mixer. The manual calls it the "All-Purpose Whip-N-Beater".

Has a 3 qt tempered glass bowl, and looks like the more popular KA 3-B bowls which were introduced later.

Coffee/cereal grinder.

Pea sheller

Citrus juicer

Rotary slicer

Meat grinder

Can opener

  1. Your website has been so helpful! My fiance's God father passed away last year, while sorting the items in his kitchen I came across his antique Kitchenaid stand mixer. It's marked MODEL-3 but does not have the attachment with the spiraled wire, would it be the 3A? Also, are the bowls on these models removable? It might just be stuck but I cannot for the life of me get the bowl to budge. Here are some photos:

  2. I just bought a model 3 that is in good condition and has the original bowl with black and white pin stripes, but the beater is like the flat mixer, but is missing the wire part of the mixer.
