KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer

The 3.5-quart bowl is designed for smaller batches. You can comfortably mix dough for up to 5 dozen cookies or a single loaf of bread in one session.

While it features 10 speeds and planetary mixing action, it is optimized for smaller, lighter tasks. It handles standard bread doughs well, but it is not intended for heavy, high-hydration, or large-batch artisan loaves.

Despite its compact footprint, the mixer is built with durable metal construction and weighs 16 pounds. This provides enough heft to keep it stable on your counter during standard mixing tasks.

Yes, the stainless steel bowl is dishwasher safe. The included coated attachments—the dough hook, whisk, and flat beater—are also dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.

This model uses a specific size of accessories designed for the 3.5-quart bowl. Standard attachments made for the larger 5-quart or 6-quart tilt-head mixers will not fit this unit.

It stands 12.3 inches tall, which is shorter than most standard stand mixers, making it ideal for tucking under low upper cabinets. Its compact design is specifically engineered for kitchens where counter real estate is limited.
