Know before you buy
Yes, the Artisan Series is built with a powerful motor and a durable die-cast metal base, making it well-suited for kneading dense bread doughs and thick cookie batters.
The tilt-head design allows you to easily lift the mixer head to clear the bowl, making it simple to add ingredients, scrape down the sides, or swap out attachments without obstruction.
The stainless steel bowl is dishwasher safe for easy cleanup. While the included coated beater and dough hook are also dishwasher safe, the wire whip should be hand-washed to maintain its shape and finish.
The power hub allows you to attach various optional accessories, such as pasta rollers, food grinders, or vegetable spiralizers, effectively turning your mixer into a multifunctional culinary center.
The 59-point planetary mixing action ensures the beater touches 59 points around the bowl per rotation, which provides thorough ingredient incorporation and eliminates the need to manually scrape the bowl as often.
The 5-quart bowl is ideal for most home baking needs, comfortably holding enough batter for about 9 dozen cookies or 4 loaves of bread in a single batch.
