Q: Why would you want the bowl-lift feature vs a tilt head?

submitted by Cassie - 2 years ago
  • A: Hi Cassie, The bowl-lift models offer a higher wattage for mixing larger quantities.

    submitted byKitchenAidTeam - 2 years ago
    Brand expert
  • A: More versatile with where it can be placed

    submitted byKsheb - 1 month ago
  • A: You can use this in more versatile places, such as under an overhang or cabinet without having to move it to lift the bowl.

    submitted byMrs Meow - 7 months ago
  • A: Ease of bread making.

    submitted byMC - 20 days ago
  • A: Bread/pizza dough. Lift stand models have no "flex" in the hinge when kneading with the dough hook. Minor trade-off is having to remove the beater/hook before removing the bowl, vs tipping it up.

    submitted byTL - 7 months ago

Q: I just purchased one and the bowl sits tilted down (not level) and the attachments scrape the side of the bowl some, is that normal?

submitted by aly - 7 months ago
  • A: Mine is the same way

  • A: Mine is not like that

submitted by Baker - 8 months ago
  • A: Yes it works very well! It will be the best mixer you have ever owned. Trust me, you won't regret snagging one of these!

    submitted byLynn - 7 months ago
  • A: Works fine for double batches

    submitted byKsheb - 1 month ago

    A few years ago I purchased a mixer as a gift for my mom. She's always baking but her old standard mixer had seen too many years and needed to retire. I bought her a kitchenaid with extra tools and she loves it. We've made egg noodles which is traditional side dish for thanksgiving and they came out perfect. She loves it and so do I.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these mixers in general but something seems to be wrong with mine already. I have had this for almost 2 years and about 6 months ago, the motor already started going out on me. It just shuts off once it gets to the third or fourth speed setting

    What an incredible disappointment. My last Kitchen Aid Mixer died after 10 years of good use. I upgraded to the Artisan Line hoping this could handle the dough mixing form my pizza and sourdough mixes. From the very beginning it just whined and after 10 minutes on just speed 1 the motor felt warm and it had a slight smell of overheating. This machine is supposed to be a Beast, what has happened to the quality.

    Plastic gears

    Beware they use plastic gears in their mixers- they are called sacrificial gears. The only mixers that have metal ones are their commercial mixers as far as I am aware. When I purchased my mixer i also purchased a 3-year warranty which KitchenAid somehow never sent the money to the warranty folks. Give you one guess who's mixer now needs to be repaired Supposed to receive a refund but have not gotten it yet - it was submitted 5-27-25 it is now 7-2-25
