Know before you buy
The Artisan Mini Plus is approximately 20% smaller and 25% lighter than the classic Artisan Series tilt-head mixer. It is specifically designed for smaller kitchens or households that typically bake in smaller batches.
While it is powerful enough for standard cookie doughs and cake batters, it is not intended for heavy, high-hydration bread doughs. If you frequently bake artisan loaves, you may find the motor struggles compared to the larger, high-torque models.
No, the Mini Plus uses a unique bowl and attachment size. Standard attachments designed for the 4.5 or 5-quart tilt-head mixers will not fit the Mini Plus.
The 3.5-quart stainless steel bowl is best suited for recipes using up to 5 dozen cookies or a single loaf of bread. It is ideal for everyday tasks but will be overcrowded if you try to double a standard recipe.
Not at all. The tilt-head design allows you to easily lift the head out of the way to scrape the bowl or add ingredients. It also makes it simple to remove the bowl and attachments for cleaning.
