Stand mix­ers are found in both fam­ily kitchens and com­mer­cial restau­rants, and the Kitchenaid Arti­san stand mixer is used by every­one includ­ing moms, dads, chil­dren, at-home-chefs, and pro­fes­sional chefs in culi­nary insti­tutes. The rea­son is sim­ple. It is a high qual­ity prod­uct. Because of the company’s long his­tory of qual­ity prod­ucts, many peo­ple swear by it and refuse to buy any other brand.

Key Fea­tures:
Plan­e­tary Rota­tion – Sim­ply put this is a must in any stand mixer because it means the beat­ers spin and rotate around the bowl ensur­ing even mixing.

Tilt­ing Head – This is more con­ve­nient for home users since it takes up less space on the counter. The head lifts up to allow the adding of ingre­di­ents and chang­ing beat­ers. If you pre­fer a mixer that has the bowl lift, pick from the Kitchenaid pro­fes­sional series.

Pow­er­ful Motor – A high qual­ity motor will ensure you will not burn it out while mak­ing bread or cookie dough.

Weight – When buy­ing a stand mixer weight does mat­ter. If you buy a mixer that is too light it may migrate across your counter when mix­ing. The Kitchenaid Arti­san stand mixer weighs 27 pounds mak­ing it heavy enough to be sturdy but still light enough to move.

Lock­ing Mech­a­nism – This fea­ture locks the tilt­ing head in place so you’ll be sure that it won’t jump back and spray every­thing in the bowl all over the kitchen. Don’t laugh…well, okay, chuckle a little…I had that hap­pen once with a mixer that didn’t have this feature!

Pour­ing Shield – While the shield should make adding ingre­di­ents such as flour a breeze it can be a bit cum­ber­some espe­cially when you’re in a tight space. I tend to leave it off..

Ver­sa­til­ity – Kitchenaid offers a vari­ety of attach­ments trans­form­ing your stand mixer into many appli­ances. It can be used as an ice cream maker, a pasta maker, a shred­der, a food grinder and so much more. Most of them are eas­ily attached through a screw on the front (no tools required) and uti­lize the pow­er­ful motor.
