Know before you buy
The 3.5-quart bowl is perfectly sized for smaller batches, such as a single loaf of bread, a dozen cookies, or a standard cake. If you frequently bake in large quantities for crowds, you may find the capacity limiting compared to larger 5- or 6-quart models.
The Flex Edge Beater features a silicone side that continuously scrapes the bowl as it mixes. This ensures all ingredients are incorporated thoroughly without you needing to stop the mixer and scrape the sides down manually with a spatula.
Yes, the stainless steel bowl and the included beaters are dishwasher safe. This makes cleanup significantly faster after you finish your baking or pasta-making sessions.
Not at all. The tilt-head design is specifically engineered to provide easy access to the bowl, allowing you to tilt the head back to add ingredients or swap out attachments quickly and comfortably.
The pasta set attaches directly to the mixer's power hub, using the motor's power to roll and cut dough. With 8 thickness settings, it allows you to customize your pasta sheets for everything from delicate angel hair to hearty lasagna noodles.
Yes, this model features a standard power hub that is compatible with most KitchenAid stand mixer attachments, such as food grinders or spiralizers, allowing you to expand the machine's utility beyond baking and pasta.
