Product Description

Choose from over 20 different colors of the KitchenAid Artisan Series Tilt-Head Stand Mixer for the one that perfectly matches your kitchen design or personality. Easily make your favorite cakes and multiple batches of cookie dough with the 5-quart stainless steel mixing bowl with comfortable handle. With 10 speeds, the standmixer will quickly become your kitchen’s culinary center as you mix, knead and whip ingredients with ease. And for even more versatility, the power hub fits optional attachments from food grinders to pasta makers and more.

Amazon.com

KitchenAid's Artisan stand mixer is a substantial piece of equipment: 325 watts of mixing power make child's play of creaming butter, kneading dough, and whipping cream. The kid in you will appreciate how quick and easy it is to mix up a batch of cookie dough. This model comes with three attachments: a flat beater for making batter, meat loaf, and all textures in-between; a wire whip for egg whites, mayonnaise, and more air-infused creations; and a hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs. All three are solidly constructed and easily secured to the beater shaft with a simple twist. This model also includes a pouring shield for guiding ingredients to their proper destination, and the bowl itself locks tight to the base. Standing about 15 inches high, jutting out a foot, and weighing more than a grown woman's bowling ball, this stand mixer isn't the sort of appliance you'll wipe down and put away. Better to find a square foot of free counter space for easy access; besides, this machine is as pretty as it is rugged--you'll want to show it off. --Betsy Danheim

From the Manufacturer

The Artisan mixer's strong 325-watt motor delivers the power to handle the heaviest mixtures, and mix large batches easily.

The 5-quart polished stainless steel bowl with ergonomic handle is big enough to handle large batches of heavy mixtures. Its ergonomically designed handle is contoured to fit the hand and makes lifting the bowl more comfortable.

Unique Mixing Action

The beater spins clockwise as the shaft spins counter clockwise; moving the beater to 67 different points around the bowl. This unique mixing action creates a thorough blend of ingredients and eliminates the need to rotate the bowl.

Multiple Speeds

10 speeds allow the user to select the right speed for the mixing job; from very high to very slow stir. It's easy to select the precise speed needed for a perfect mix.

Versatile Accessories

The flat beater, dough hook, and the professional wire whip add to the versatility of the mixer. The flat beater is the ideal accessory for mixing normal to heavy batters. From cake mixes to firm cookie dough, the flat beater mixes quickly and thoroughly.

The dough hook mixes and kneads yeast dough, saving both time and the effort of hand-kneading. The wire whip incorporates the maximum amount of air in whipped mixtures for fluffier whipped cream and angel food cakes.

All attachments are solidly constructed, and attach easily to the stand mixer.

Easy Clean Up

The pouring shield fits around the top of the bowl and prevents ingredient splash-out. The chute makes it convenient and easy to add ingredients.

The tilt-back mixer head allows for easy access to bowl and beaters. A lock lever holds the mixer head securely in place and the bowl fastens tightly to the base.


Optional Attachments

Optional attachments (sold separately) complete the package to make cooking a pleasure. From citrus juicer to sausage stuffer, KitchenAid stand mixers can handle just about any job in the kitchen.

WARNING! Ingesting metal may be bad for your health
BOTTOM LINE: I'm deducting one start for the bowl at my first look and haven't even looked at anything elseTo start I'd like to say I've done enough reviews for years to know this is a top of the line mixer with a few flaws like all products. So after my wife was done looking over her present, I took a quick swipe of the bowl with my figure to see the most critiqued item and it was not good. I should have taken a pic/video to show how bad it was, but basically I swiped my finger less than an inch and it turned gray, of coarse this was uncleaned so I wasn't scared since I'm a master at cleaning dishes!So I cleaned it, I'm very thorough at cleaning so I've never needed to clean an item more than once..... Except this item.I cleaned it with a fresh Scotch scrub pad and dawn and let it air dry. First photo shows my knuckles after I put some cold water in the bowl after it dried and swirled my hand for a few secs. 2nd photo was of the water I afterwards, I poured it into a white cup and found gray specs all in the bottom!Then I wiped it with a paper towel and took a picture. Then scrubbed it again, dried with dish towel and wiped with another paper towel and took a picture. Then let it soak in soapy dawn water for an hour. Scrubbed it again with my scotch and dried with a dish towel, then wiped with paper towel. I then repeated that last step completely of soaking/scrubbing and took another picture. The 4 paper towels are shown in one pic, I thought they were getting better until the last picture.Only 1 star deducted because the bowl is a minor part and it can be replaced.... I also hoping I can eventually get it clean... I also haven't tried the mixer yet!!! It looks and feels nice though!

Quality product and really like the color. Easy to use and like the different speed settings.
Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2016
This is the most heavily used tool in my kitchen besides my tea kettle, I have had mine for over 6 years now and it is still going strong today. It is unbelievably versatile and very heavy duty. Due to it's weight, I thought it was best to find a permanent home for it on my kitchen counter as opposed to putting it away each time; the bonus is that it looks very attractive on the counter due to its iconic look. My friends are always jealous when they see this, most of them end up buying one for themselves!

Besides being very useful for making baked goods like cakes, muffins, and breads (and don't forget icing!), this is fantastic for blending meat! That's right, if you use the flat paddle to blend canned chicken breasts or tuna, you will get the most delicate chicken or tuna salad sandwiches out of it. I also use it to blend ground turkey or ground beef for the smoothest, most consistent meatloaf texture ever. Same thing for hamburger patties- I like to make mine out of ground beef and sausage meat, if you mix it with the flat paddle first you will get a perfect patty that is consistent throughout, and you will get a perfect shape if you use a mold. The best part is, your fingers don't have to get cold from mixing ground meat together. Speaking of ground meat, did you know they make a sausage making extension? You can make your own sausage at home if you are so inclined.

Due to the powerful motor, you can buy all kinds of extensions on this so the KitchenAid's uses are not limited to the mixing bowl. I have the pasta making extension and it really does work. You mix the pasta dough in the mixing bowl (or by hand), and you run it through the extruder extension. It comes in several sizes and can make several different shapes. However, ever since I bought the Phillips Pasta Maker, I can't go back to the KitchenAid to make pasta anymore. I love my pasta maker and I have to say the KitchenAid loses out on this. That being said, not everyone has to room nor wants to buy a separate pasta maker- this is a very good replacement tool for making pasta. I have tried the hand crank pasta maker as well, you will never want to go back after using the extruder extension!

Some other uses that you might not think- this makes excellent honey butter. I make biscuits using my KitchenAid and the honey butter goes so well with those biscuits! I use 1 cup of honey and 1 cup of butter and it really does make awesome honey butter. You can try and make all kinds of butters (e.g. apple butter using applesauce and butter) with this, and you can even make your own butter if you work cream long enough on this! I do not think it is capable of making nut butters, however...you will need a high powered blender like a blendtec or a decent food processor for that.

Make sure you clean it well after every use. The bowl and the mixing tool can be washed in the dishwasher.. I have washed those in the dishwasher for over 6 years, and no rust! I wipe down the machine itself with a wet paper towel if flour or icing sugar gets on it, and it will. Sometimes milk or butter or meat will get on the machine itself during the mixing process, and I use a wet paper towel with dish soup to wipe it down, followed by a plain wet paper towel. Again, I have been doing this for a while and my machine is still as red and vibrant as the day it came out of the box.

Replaced a 30 year old Kitchenaid stand mixer with this and it’s great. The bowl is bigger, the motor is brushless, and the color matches our espresso machine… what’s not to love! Mixed big batches of cowboy cookies with ease and, while I usually knead my bread dough by hand, have used the bread paddle a couple times and it works great. I highly recommend this mixer!

Kitchen aid lives up to it’s reputation
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2019
My first unit was returned because of shipping damage. Not a manufacturing problem.

So I got another and initially I was skeptical because it didn't have the spring and washer that press against attachments and make them stay in place while the unit is stopped. Kitchenaid said the spring wasn't necessary but I wasn't convinced at first; but I used it the way it came. I have now made about 30 loaves of bread, many dozens of cookies, and banana nut bread. Kitchenaid was absolutely correct! Not having the spring also makes it easier to clean. My bread recipe uses 4 cups of flour and 1-1/2 cups of water. I prefer to measure by weight rather than measuring cups. Do not double the batch of dough in this mixer. I knead for 8 minutes and the motor housing is barely warm. NEVER exceed speed 2 while kneading dough!

The head wobbles and knocks somewhat while kneading dough. I would rather have this than to have it freeze up and strip the safety gear. The knocking is normal for this machine and has not gotten worse over time. It's not particularly noisy.

The mixer is solid and somewhat heavy. It also has soft feet that keep it firmly on the counter. It truly doesn't move.

The aluminum paddles must be hand washed but the coated paddles are dishwasher safe. I clean them all by hand. I haven't had any chipping of the coated surfaces. Replacement paddles are inexpensive.

The stainless steel bowl is fantastic quality stainless. Okay I see the finishing of the rivets but that causes no problems. The bowl is solid and beautiful.

I also purchased the pasta extruding attachment and the ravioli maker. Both are superbly made in Italy with top quality materials. I just purchased the pasta roller attachment, too. Same excellent quality and also made in Italy.

So, I wasn't initially convinced but I sure am now after many hours of use. This is a fantastic mixer and I bet will last a lifetime.

Always store the mixer with the head locked down. Never overload the mixer; instead make multiple batches. Read all instructions before using.

I wish I could give Kitchenaid more than five stars. Keep your quality standards and excellent customer support!

I don't need to add to 17,000 reviews about what a great mixer this is but I will say RED - there are two reds and the Passion Red is a brilliant, need sunglasses red that would do great in a total black and white kitchen but if you have other red products - like a Keurig coffee maker or any other red appliances - the red you want is the plain old Red. They were so nice about exchanging this very heavy mixer at no charge but I'd like to warn others. Great mixer! Beautiful Plain Old Red color.
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2024
The mixer is lovely! I love the color and the sturdiness of the mixer! So far it mixes very well, and is easy to clean.
The only concern is the mixer paddle paint coating is chipped (at the top where you would insert it to the motor) right out of the box. Haven't used it yet.
Hubby said it was a coating flaw. I'm just hoping it doesn't come off more if used.

I bought this mixer because I was fed up about the poor quality of cheap handheld mixers, and wanted a mixer that would last me at least 5 years. I was positively surprised that not only maikng a cake wasn't any effort at all, but at the same time I kept my kitchen tops clean as there was no splashing, I could take out one ingredient at a time etc. So, the Artisan Stand Mixer is not only a strong and efficient kitchen appliance, it changes the way one works in the kitchen for the better. The most difficult thing I had to do was lifting it, everything else was easy. it's solid steel, sturdy and heavy, no plastic parts, simple mechanics (two manual switches, tilting back the head, screwing the bowl to the base, and pulling and turning to change the attachments. Simple, beautiful, efficient!!
