How does the Artisan compare with the Classic mixer?

The Artisan has a larger 5-quart bowl and a more powerful motor than the Classic, and it comes with a pouring shield. The Classic suits smaller batches; the Artisan suits bigger ones and heavier dough.

Can it knead bread dough?

Yes. The included dough hook handles yeast dough, and the motor is strong enough for regular bread baking. Very large or very stiff batches are better suited to a bowl-lift model.

What comes in the box?

A 5-quart stainless steel bowl, a coated flat beater, a coated dough hook, a 6-wire whip and a pouring shield.

Does the bowl go in the dishwasher?

Yes, the stainless steel bowl is dishwasher safe. The coated attachments should be hand washed to protect the coating.

Can I add other attachments?

Yes. The front hub takes KitchenAid attachments such as a meat grinder, pasta roller and spiralizer.

Is it good for small batches?

It can mix small amounts, but the 5-quart bowl is sized for medium to large batches. For tiny quantities a hand mixer is easier.
