Chapter Twelve -- KA model K-4

CHAPTER TWELVE

KITCHENAID MODEL K-4

　

　

The Model 4 (sometimes called the K4) was an update of the Arens-designed Model K, and was the first 4 quart planetary mixer KitchenAid produced.

I wonder if the model K4 was maybe also referred to as the K4A at some point, or in some literature, since the K4 ended production in 1944, when the K4B came out (perhaps that's why they called it the K4B, because it replaced the K4/K4A??). In the reference materials that I have, there's no mention of a K4A, but the K4 was produced between 1940 and 1944, and then the K4B is listed as having started production in 1944 and continued to about 1962, so I'm thinking maybe the K4A that is mentioned in that history is synonymous with the K4.

The design eventually evolved into the K4-B, and later into the K45, both of which were extremely popular machines and sold thousands. The original color of the Model 4 was most likely white.
