[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We all know a good mixer will make it break a kitchen. Gone are the days of manual dough pounding , whisking until your arm is sore for the perfect egg white fluff or even the heinous shrieking grind sound of a hand mixer repetitiously being shoved against a metal bowl. Most of us have experienced the ease and superior outcomes that follow a great mixer and almost everyone recognizes that mixer as a kitchenaid. I mean it’s such a prized kitchen core appliance that even if you don’t own a recent game console , you have a kitchenaid mixer. Much like purchasing a car, your kitchenaid has various models, colors and add on available to your taste - there are even some businesses that thrive strictly on providing aftermarket custom paint jobs for your kitchenaid!!
To say the least, it can be a rather large ominous barrage of information to sort through to find out exactly which one will provide the most bang for your money … for the most years to come. Of course, I can’t tell you what’s best for you, but I’m hoping what I’ve found might provide someone with maybe a helpful look.
In the new Beetroot paint scheme, we took a big turn from our previous ‘blend into the background’ black and I have to say, the more I see it the more I like it . It seems to oscillate between a purple and a moroon throughout the day depending on how much light hits it’s, and makes an easy-to-live-with statement with our dark cabinets. This is our third Kitchenaid Mixer in total. Our first was a red model that we gave to a friend after it served us perfectly for just under 10 years. It was still functioning perfectly but decided for a color change more than anything else (new house, new motif.) The second mixer was also a Kitchenaid artisan but in a black. We have only had this one about 5 years and would never have considered getting a new one until a visit to my sisters house who made me cook. I knew right away I wanted the new artisan, for one thing, the fact that the low speed is SO much lower than my black 5 year old artisan was the kicker (yes the high speed is just as high!) Sure, it’s sounds minor and well perhaps to many it is, but for us it leads to so much less over spill of dry ingredients (yes even with the lid we ve add had the “oh no” poofs!) But also far superior folding of ingredients and more tender ingredient handling.
We decided on the more fun Beetrootcolor for our 2022 artisan just well … to be fun! Yes I love it more than I probably should, but I feel like that’s ok since we use it constantly.
We ve found all sorts of upgrades to the new 2022 artisan in compared to our 5 year old version that we didn’t expect. Obviously the lower ‘low’ speed is a huge plus, the stainless whisk has been redesigned to be much heavier and substantial and definitely seems to reach all the corners of the bowls much more consistently. The large and small bowls are also redesigned and look much more modern in shape with the subtle inside divot that pairs much better with the attachments to ensure thorough mixing (I never find I need to remix the bottom recesses to ensure consistency unlike my older versions.) The artisan mode still powers every one of my extra accessories perfectly (sadly at this point in my life I’m not sure I’d be the same person without my zucchini noodle maker!)
I hope this helps someone there in making a decision to dive into their Kitchenaid mixer new model earlier, as we couldn’t find much information on the difference between years but believe me, it’s quite a great difference and if you use yours as much as we do, you ll be pleasantly rewarded to.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to get this that I had to make a batch of cookies. This was so easy to use, I really didn’t need to look at all of the instructions for what I was needing it for. It comes with so many attachments and a couple of bowls. My cookies came out amazing!
Pros:
-Extremely heavy duty well made product with quality materials, love Stainless Steel.
-The color Beet Root is so elegant.
-Comes with 4 attachments, 2 different bowls and a cover for the bowl to be able to add ingredients easily into the mixing bowl.
Cons:
-cord hangs from back and has a cord keeper, but is placed where the plug could possibly scratch the unit.
I bought one about 5-7 years ago & I bought other stand mixers when I made dough for pizza their motor started smoking 2 of them , this has lasted making the same dough recipe i really like it because I do cook & use it for many recipes not just dough , cookies, meat loaf, meat balls , garlic dressing etc.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recently, I received and used the KitchenAid Artisan Series Tilt-Head Stand Mixer in Beetroot. This color is pretty and adds a little pop of color in any kitchen decor. And the silver/grey attachments go well with the Beetroot color.
After unboxing the mixer, I was impressed with the accessories included. This KitchenAid package would be a great gift for any level baker. This package includes 2 mixing bowls(5qt and 3qt), dough hook, wire whip, 2 beaters, and pouring shield.
Performance - I wanted to start out with simple tasks to see how the mixer performed. I made cake, brownies and will make buttercream frosting. The wire whip and pastry beater easily mix ingredients without any mess. This will be my go-to appliance to help with baking projects.
My only complaints about this mixer is the noise and the weight. The mixer was louder than expected and became louder at every mixing level. But this mixer is beautiful and powerful, so the cons could easily be overlooked. Overall, the KitchenAid Artisan Series Tilt-Head Stand Mixer in Beetroot is a dream machine. It will be my go-to appliance for many years to come.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always wanted one of the kitchenaid mixers, but this one definitely exceeded my expectations! I love everything about it from the different size mixing bowls, to the different attachments! I must say that my favorite part is the splatter shield. I have always made a mess when mixing with a handheld mixer and this has made clean up so much easier. I also love the fact that you can purchase so many different attachments for different baking and cooking needs. The mixer and attachments themselves are also very easy to clean and I am very pleased that they are dishwasher safe. Overall this has been a game changing mixer for my baking and cooking needs. A lot of different options when preparing meals and desserts. It's a must have for any kitchen.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am loving this mixer! As a chef and baker, I’ve been using a much larger professional model for years. This mixer has changed my thinking! It is absolutely perfect! I do recommend the larger size if your used to making double batches.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so excited to finally have a kitchenaid! I have used other mixers in the past, but this kitchenaid mixer is next level. It make great cookies dough and cake batter, with easy to use features. I also love the design and color! Definitely worth the price.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At a low speed, the Flex Edge beater scraped most of the dough from the sides of the bowl (more than 95%). That eliminated the requirement for a silicon spatula during mixing. It's not loud even on the higher speeds. I noticed it made a slight shaking noise during the mixing, but it had no effect on the performance.
The pouring shield is great for its purpose. It must be attached after you lower the head & attachment. The opening was plenty of space to pour the cookie mix. I poured the entire bag and none splattered. There was enough room to add a stick of softened butter through the opening. No need to cut the butter into chunks. The KitchenAid blended it in seconds effortlessly. I had to pull the shield off to crack and add the eggs. The ingredients combine perfectly without clumps. I was surprised that it also mixed to the bottom of the bowl without scraping necessary. It's a heavy machine but it's a great stand mixer with those accessories.
