Our take on the Dash Compact Stand Mixer

The Dash Compact Stand Mixer is a small tilt-head stand mixer with a 3.5-quart stainless steel bowl, built for tight kitchens and light baking. It handles cookie dough, cake batter, whipped cream and egg whites, but its motor and bowl are sized well below full-size KitchenAid and Cuisinart mixers. It suits occasional bakers and small households rather than anyone kneading stiff bread dough or mixing large batches. Owners of compact mixers in this class often note that the lighter build shows under heavy loads, while the small footprint is the main draw.

Questions and answers

Is the Dash Compact Stand Mixer good for bread dough?

Not really. The motor and 3.5-quart bowl are sized for batters, cookie dough and whipped cream. Stiff bread dough puts more load on it than it is built for.

How does it compare with a full-size KitchenAid?

It is smaller, lighter and less powerful. A full-size KitchenAid mixes bigger batches and kneads bread, but takes up far more counter space.

What can I mix in a 3.5-quart bowl?

Roughly one cake recipe, a batch of cookies or a few cups of cream. It is a small-batch bowl, not one for doubling recipes.

Does it come with attachments?

It comes with the mixing tools for beating and whipping. Check the box contents for the exact set before you buy.

Is it worth it for occasional baking?

For light, occasional baking in a small kitchen, yes. For frequent bread baking or large batches, a more powerful mixer is the better fit.
