However, at this writing, the Breville Bakery Chef costs almost as much as the KitchenAid Artisan, and we don’t think it’s quite as user-friendly. It’s a bit easier to add ingredients to a bowl-lift mixer than a tilt-head mixer when the bowl is lowered, but it’s also impossible to remove the bowl without also removing the beater attachment, which is a mildly annoying extra step. They tend to be larger than tilt-head mixers (since you need clearance to raise and lower the bowl), and they’re also typically sturdier and more stable so they can better handle thick doughs. Professional mixers such as the Hobart line mainly use this design, but so do some domestic mixers, like the KitchenAid Pro 600 Series. Bowl-lift design: With this style, you snap the bowl into place on the base of the mixer, then lift it toward the mixing attachment using a lever.Tilt-head mixers tend to be more compact than bowl-lift mixers, and they make it easy to swap out beaters or to remove the bowl while the beaters are still attached. Most stand mixers for home cooks-including the popular KitchenAid Artisan-are made in this style. Tilt-head design: The top of the machine tilts up so that you can attach or remove the mixing attachment and bowl.In addition to the Flex Edge beater, you'll also get a dough hook for kneading breads and a whisk attachment, which is great for light, fluffy batters and making homemade whipped cream. However, it features ten speeds, just like the full-size model, and its 3.5-quart capacity means it's still large enough to mix up to five dozen cookies in a single batch. Of course, when you hear "mini," you might immediately think this KitchenAid's a pared-down appliance. (I've had issues with other mini models missing spots in the bowl, creating lumps of flour I had to hand-mix after using the machine. This mini comes with a Flex Edge flat beater, which solves the biggest issue I've had, as a recipe developer, with the mini: It captures all of the batter as it whips, so you don't have to scrape down the bowl as often as you go. ![]()
