My wife started out with a tilt head. I got her the Professional 6 for Mother's Day. The tilt head finally conked out. I had planned getting a new tilt head to compliment her Professional 6, but I walked into an estate sale and found a brand new Professional 5 for $125.00
Really helping out husbands looking for a gift for their wife's! You did a great job breaking things down for the ignorant, or uninformed person
I’m getting my niece a Kitchen Aid mixer for Christmas. The closer it gets to Black Friday the more overwhelmed I was becoming. This video was SUPER DUPER helpful. I no longer feel overwhelmed, now I can make an informed decision. Thanks so much!!
Danslyric, I just ordered one for myself. Just curious...what did you decide on? Ive been breaking my head for two entire days. 😂
I love my tilt head, it was a lot cheaper than the bowl lifts in my country, but I actually just love the way it operates and it's never missed a beat in the 8 years I've had it. I have empire red, it's gorgeous.
I was looking what to buy and got extremely confused so I looked for videos for some help. Happy that I found this because its really helpful. The comparison you've made helped a lot for me to decide which ones are my negotiables lol have a nice day!!! You're awesome 👌 thank you so much!!
I enjoyed your comprehensive comparisons on the mixers. Excellent job! I loved how you caressed your favorite mixer. I have a tilt head that danced off my counter and fell on the floor. The starter switch got jammed. I just ordered a bowl lift as a replacement.
I am imprented to like tilt head mixer because my mom used the tilt head mixer. I inherited my love for cooking from Mom too. Thank you for helping us understand the difference between the two types of mixers....love your show Amy!
I grew up on the artisan tilt head using it often because it fit right under the counter and was so quick to use, “but” my mother never made homemade bread or stiff doughs, but lots of meringues, cookies and homemade cakes etc. It was very easy to add ingredients and remove the messy paddle. It also was white and never showed the dust of flour on it. I grew up and got a tall pro version in beautiful cobalt blue and it shows every speck of flour on it every time I use it for such and have to totally clean it each time. It was very hard to put on and off the bowl until I got used to it and now I can do it quickly, but I still struggle putting on and off the mixing paddle looking straight down without the tilt angle. It does take up more space, but I love that it is a work horse for stiff doughs. I also love using the very quick batch cheese shredder and or butter shredder attachment. I read that using the tilt version often for stiff doughs can damage eventually the joint of the tilt back version, but not the stationary taller version. My mother had her artesian tilt version around 40-50 years but did not bake homemade bread or rarely made stiff sugar cookie dough. So, it depends on if you are doing many meringues and very rarely stiff bread doughs really, or you are really into making stiff sugar cookie dough and bread dough often enough that it warrants the stronger motor and non-movable head. Having both would be nice but you do have to have the room for it. If I were doing it all over again, I would get white because I don’t remember my mother’s having to be swabbed down for every speck of flour each time of use. The colors are pretty, but definitely more upkeep to keep gleamingly pretty after each use. They are making a more comfortable handle now on the taller versions, that mine does not have. Besides the attachments, they do offer for more money, an optional smaller bowl/shorter whisk combo especially made for the pro line series for those who need to whisk meringues or smaller batches, which I plan to get.
Thanks for your comment. Will probably get a colored one because of the reason you noted. Want to make sure its clean.
So glad I discovered your videos Amy! Never really thought about the difference. Really informative video! In our kitchen, economy of space is most important, so tilt head for us to store under an upper cabinet! Maybe one day when my wife & I get our dream kitchen in our dream home, we'll spring for a Commercial 8.
We bought both, the bowl-lift for heavy doughs, the tilt-head for smaller amounts. It's a luxury, but we cook a lot and we don't go on vacation. :-)
Bruce Boschek
I can’t decide which! If you could only pick one, which would you choose?
@@julietteyork3721 That's a difficult call. I guess it would depend upon how you plan to use it. We had the bowl-lift machine first and thought that it would be good to have one with smaller bowls. Even with the newer wiper blades you have to stop the machine and wipe down the bowl with a rubber spatula now and then. As it turns out, the tilt-head machine is not that much of an improvement in that regard. The only real difference is the availability of glass bowls for the tilt-head machine. If you shop around the price difference is also minimal. Thinking about it, I would probably prefer the bowl-lift machine. Either way, you cannot go wrong. Both machines will serve you well, I'm sure.
Bruce Boschek
Thank you
Thanks for sharing, Bruce. Like Juliette, I am unsure. I like the idea of mixer that can handle anything I throw at it now and in 5 years time. Right now it's me and my partner. . So right this moment am favouring the Bow lift. It's size does not concern me. I dont my storing it in the floor cabinet (or is it crazy heavy?) My concern about it is its ability to deal with small quantity. You seem to suggest it struggle like Amy says? I like the convenience of the tilt head but am worried the shaking of the head will shorten its life span or that it struggle to make larger amount. You have both so are the ideal person to ask! Please help! (and stay safe in these crazy times!). Thanks Greetings from London, UK.
Just a sec - I had a bowl lift as my first mixer. I loved it and used it for years and years! My kids grew up on it, and there was nothing it couldn’t do. It was too big for storing on my counter and so I stored it underneath in a cabinet. It was heavy and a pain in the rear to lift up all the time and put it away. It finally broke (it is fixable but I haven’t done that yet-lol) but I was in the middle of a move and I was gifted a new mixer as a housewarming gift. I chose the artisan mixer. Now it sits out on my counter and I use it ALL THE TIME because it is right in front of me! I love seeing it on m y counter because it just makes me happy :). I now use it for more than just baking too. Don’t get me wrong, I still use it to mix cookie and cakes batter and I also knead dough in the artisan and the smaller mixer does fine with regular bread dough. I am also more apt to use the attachments i have, use it for mixing meatloaf, or shredding cooked chicken or even massaging kale for a salad. So maybe this will help you make up your mind. They are both great you will be happy with either. They are just different!
I inherited a bowl lift from my mom... which I bought for her years ago. She would do do HUGE batches of cookies and breads so it was perfect for her. I never had one Until she passed so I got hers. I don’t do near the quantity but it is a Workhorse... it’s huge, heavy and the bowl & attachments can be tricky to get on and off but I’m never limited to what I can make. Great comparison. I’m happy I have the bowl lift overall
This was sooooo helpful! Thank you so much 😊. I just got my wife the 7qt after watching one of your videos because she’s been making breads and pizzas by hand, she absolutely loves it. I’m looking for an excuse to get a tilt head for smaller jobs and this video really helps! Thanks!
Coolest husband award goes to you, sir.
Get a smaller bowl it fits
I've heard that you can't always go by the watts, it's the torque that determines the power. I saw your pan room tour yesterday and was really surprised to see that white bowl-lift mixer on the top shelf considering how heavy they are! If I stored one above my head, I would never use it. My aunt had a special cabinet for hers that lifted up and out to counter level--this was in the 70's and I was in awe because our family was lucky to have a Sunbeam. I have the Pro 600 and hate that noise as well. The 4.5 quart tilt-head really is best for most jobs. Mine is almost 30 years old and works great.
Thanks for teaching me about these mixers, I enjoyed it! Thanks again!
This was a huge help. I got my 5-qt bowl lift refurbished in the early 90’s and just inherited a new Artisan. Thank you for posting this review.
I love the refurb that I got in the early 90s. It is my favorite! I hope you enjoy your new Artisan!
Thank you Amy! Your video is exactly what I needed to make up my mind between the bowl lift and tilt-head!
Yes I don't usually leave comments but here I am 3 years later agreeing with everyone and had to let you know this was a great informed video.. I was a little overwhelmed trying to know which one to get because i know there's several different models but this video helped ALOT!! Thanks
Great review - Most helpful.
I love all your different thoughts - especially "what we all grew up with...." It's a very powerful thing !
Many thanks......all the way from London.
This was fantastic. Thank you so much. it's so hard to find a true unbiased review and I loved how you went through everything. I also loved your husband piping up with those questions as well. He was very respectful and was not taking over. Where do you store all of your mixers? I also like that you don't have the typical RUclips kitchen where the kitchen is the size of my whole house.
Thankyou for taking the time to explain the difference Ms.Amy!
Thank you so much for this video. You are wonderful in explaining all the specifics. I wish you were here in my kitchen to tell me which one to actually move forward with!! Subscribed!
I love how Eric works with you. Seems like he's a great partner.
I own a tilt head and I love the ease in which you can remove the bowl with out tilting it
Thanks Amy! Everything I needed to know to help me make my selection. I appreciate you!
Thank you for breaking it down!! I’ve been wanting one forever but just am like ugh… what do I want! I only bake for fun but girl I get it when I do.
I love the look of the bowl lift, and for whatever reason I think it's so fun to operate the lever!! I have a 5qt tilt head artisan and I bought a pro 600. You're right that it's too big for basic jobs, but I really kind of want to trade in my 5qt tilt head for the pro 500 because I just love how the bowl lifts work.
This video has been very helpful as I am looking to replace my Classic Plus that is over 10years old. Works great, but need an upgrade on the wattage.
Just bought the bowl lift in matte pink! Thanks for the information!
I will be saving for the artison its just me and darling unless its a holiday. Im not likely to be able to lift it where i normally put our appliances if i got bigger ones.
My school had tilt heads (I took every class i could that would feed me). I loved them. My only mixer currently is a cheap handheld electrical. I will be checking local pawn shops for a gentally used one. My brother found one early this year and loves it.
I've have KitchenAid for 40 years. I actually bought one of the bowl lift mixers because of the amount of dough involved in a recipe. I didn't want the bowl to spin around when I had heavier bread or pizza recipes. HOWEVER, I returned the bowl lift, because A) I'm a one person household; B) the recipes I make (now) don't require a lot of dough; and C) for the reason Amy stated early on, the amount of room that you have to add ingredients, and also to add/remove the attachments, when you lift the tilt-head vs the tilt-head. Plus, easier to use the tilt-head than struggle with getting the bowl into the frame for "bowl-lift" version.
Yeah sometimes the choice is just down to a person's individual preference or cooking style. I love mixers so I have both LOL! Thanks for watching!
Great review! Thanks! I have never pay attention to kitchen aid stand mixer. Just know that everyone has one in their home. Now in search to get one for myself too.
Excellent advise. Thank you so much. I have a tilt head but I'm a bread baker and the little artisan can't cut it . Still I love it for light jobs. . Your advise makes a lot of sense to me.
I left my KA with a friend when I moved to Ecuador. Boy, did I regret not having one. Finally, I had an offer to bring one down for me so I bought a reburbished red Artisan and she, “Poppy” is my righthand girl. I make bread at least twice a week so she has paid for herself twice over. Reliable and beautiful machine. Six cups of flour is about maximum capacity, which is just right for me.
I have both a tilt head and a bowl lift. I owned a tilt head for 20 years and decided to upgrade to a bowl lift. My tilt head is still going strong! I will say it took me a while to get use to the bowl lift. It wasn't hard but it was different. I loved the power and the bigger bowl. Love the video, it can def help someone make a difficult decision when it comes to choosing a KA mixer. No matter which KA is chosen, you will not be disappointed. Oh, and I agree there is nothing wrong with a refurbished KA. My first Kitchen Aid mixer was a soft pink tilt head and it was refurbished. That was 20 years ago, it saved me money and hasn't died on me yet.
Where can I get refurbished on ?
@@DEdwards247I purchased mine from an outlet that sold nothing but Kitchen Aid appliances. They had new and refurbished mixers and other appliances. That outlet doesn’t exist anymore 😢 here in Houston.
I love watching your vids.you are great behind the camera, speak very well.ilove your enthusiasm and you are so informative.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm about to purchase my first mixer and this answers all the questions I had about the different kitchen aid mixers! I definitely feel like I can make a more informed decision now..
Thanks for this video Amy! You convinced me to buy a bowl lift. I got a great deal on a Pro 500, in white just like yours. I still love my Artisan and it really increased my confidence in baking over the last few years, but the Pro 500 is SO much better for my pizza doughs.
Awesome! You will have fun with it! I bet your pizza is delicious! Thanks for watching!
Got one today for 100 bucks 😁 barely used
This is very informative. I had no idea what the differences were. Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for the information .
Just got a bowl lift . This was very helpful :)
Thank you so much- this was such a helpful video. You helped take some of the anxiety out of this decision. Happy Thanksgiving!
Amy you answered my questions..great review now I just have to decide had the regular stand mixer for over 30 years and it conked out on me...will have it fixed but would like a back up ..it may be a tilt head for comparison thank you
Where do you get it fixed?
I've been trying to figure out which kitchenaid mixer to get for years now. Its an expensive decision. You helped me figure it out! I'm going with the pro 5 because I mostly want it for kneading bread dough.
Good point,I thought my 3rd use was breaking down due to the back bounce.
I feel more comfortable using my classic k,aid mine is black.perfect for family of two.
Thank you, your video helped me a lot with making a choice...
When I grew up, my mother had a Sunbeam Mixmaster, and I've always thought of that as "THE" mixer.
Nowadays I have a Pro 600. Due to its weight, it's stored in a waist-high cabinet that I'm fitting with a pull-out shelf.
At the rate I'm building my "dream" kitchen I'll be in a nursing home before I finish.
This was so so helpful--thank you!!!
O my goodness Amy you're never gonna believe this but I just asked my husband for a kitchen aid mixer for my birthday. He said to find the one I want and buy it!😊. So I'm just about to start comparing to see which one I should buy and I find your video!!😳Thank you so much you explained things so well, now I know what to do...start with a classic tilt head and go from there 😉! Thanks again for the help, it's much appreciated!
Best buy has the pro 5 on sale. Just got one today. Normally 499, I got it for 229 I think.
Super informative! Thank you. Now I know which one I wanna get. Love your channel!!! And you 🤗
I just upgraded from a tilt classic to a bowl lift pro 5. I find the bowl lift is much more stable when kneading dough. I actually stripped out the bowl making pizza dough on the tilt once and had to replace the bowl. Also the spiral dough hooks works much better the the C hook on the tilt. I find it pushes the dough down to the bowl instead of climbing the hook.
Wow thanks Brad. Does the bowl lift struggle to do small amount like Amy says?
Hmm! My bowl lift is shaking alot and I can't even mix dough for bread. So I intend to change it to a tilt. It is driving me crazy! I have to hold the bowl while it mixes. Should have tried it when I bought it that way I would have been able to return it.
@@njuhmbunwe6701 I will say that the tilt will likely be worse for shaking. At least mine is really bad when making dough. Have to hold it or it goes overboard!
@@njuhmbunwe6701 IF the Dough you are mixing is VERY STIFF - virtually ALL home mixers will shake a lot. The Tilt Heads will actually shake even more and they are LESS powerful than a Bowl Lift as well. REALLY heavy floor based Commercial Mixers sometimes have problems with Stiff doughs as well.
Hi Amy, I love your videos! Your reviews are helping me to narrow down the stand mixer choice. I want to go with KitchenAid Commercial 8 qt (love the power level and stainless steel paddles) and I plan to purchase an extra 5 qt mixing bowl for smaller batches. Here is my question: it's been more than a year you have featured this model in your review videos...could you please update how do you feel about it? Is it still working good? Have you changed your opinion about this mixer? Many thanks and again, thank you for such a thorough job!
This was very helpful, Amy. Thank you!
I've had an Artisan (motor was always straining and finally gave up the ghost), a K5 bowl lift (loved it but it got to be a bit small) and now have the 7qt Pro bowl lift and it's fabulous. Does double batches of cookies, and breezes through bread dough. I'm taking this mixer with me to heaven.
Was your Artisan able to handle bread dough?
@@MilkyWhite1 : The artisan didn't handle bread dough very well. When people ask. I always recommend the bowl lift 7 qt Pro. As an avid home cook I always save up & buy the best quality equipment I can afford. My German-American daddy ( a wonderful cook) taught me well. I miss him every single day of my life.
@@ginawiggles918 That's too bad. I need one that doesn't weigh too much because I can't keep it on my counter.
@@MilkyWhite1 :You can certainly get by with a hand-held mixer for making a cake, a batch of cookies, or whipping cream. I can understand the challenge of weight. I'll probably be charged for excess baggage weight if I try to drag my Kitchen aid into heaven. ;-D Btw, KA has recently added a new size to their lineup. It's even smaller than the Artisan. There are probably YT videos comparing the different sizes.
If you ARE interested in baking bread but don't want the weight of a stand mixer, I really love my *Zojirushi* bread machine. I have the small one (makes a 1lb loaf) and its so easy and fun. It's also great for making pizza dough. :)
@@ginawiggles918 Do you have to scrape the sides of your bread maker?
Thank-Uuuuu soooo much! Amy this Mixer Review really helped making my decision on My Undecided decision of which mixer to purchase (it's July 5th 2023) and your review still going on Strong ,TFS. Blessings and Hugs.
My mother and Martha Stewart is my inspiration to everything I do today with crafting, cooking and decorating.
Awesome video!!! I’m glad I watched it. This is the first video, and probably last, I’ve watched prior to making a decision about which mixer to buy. Thank you!
Thank you for adding more clearity.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching, Dana!
I am happy i came across your video helped me a lot to decide
Great comparison of all four of your KitchenAid Stand Mixers.
I am actually drawn to the Classic White Bowl Lift model (model number is actually K5SS) because oddly, I just love the look of it lol. I’m not kidding. I love the look of your white Bowl Lift Stand Mixer.
But I’m a senior in college (Fine Arts Major) so School comes first.
Whenever I finally buy a KitchenAid Stand Mixer, I might get the Pro 500 series. Or I could go with the Classic Plus Tilt Head Model in Silver.
I just got the white classic that stylishly gets the job done…but that pink Artisan has captured my attention!!
This was very helpful for choosing a KitchenAid. Thank you, Amy!
I have the white bowl mixer and wondered if I needed a head lift. I’m staying with my bowl lifter- thank you
This video was useful. Thank you for the perspective.
Very helpful video! Thank you so much! I was considering selling my bowl lift to get a tilt head but now I realize I definitely need to cross reference the bowl size, power, and stability before I do that! Thanks again!
First time watcher, you explain things so well and clearly. You know your stuff! Great video!
Thank you! This was very helpful!
Very informative, thank you for taking the time to make your lists and being so thorough and thoughtful.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video.....most helpful information I heard.......
Great research and comprarrisons of the different models. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Well done, Amy. I learned a lot.
I just bought the Pro 6qt refurbished and got it for a song. I've wanted one all my life. When my mom passed family members came in and they took what they wanted. One thing they took was my mom's KitchenAid stand mixer. My mom was quite the baker. I learned to bake next to my mom. I quit baking. I'm 66yo now and my granddaughter asked me for a recipe and how to bake a cake. I started baking again after all these years. One day it'll be hers just like my Corningware sets. I just bought her her first recipe cards set and box and sent her some of my faves. A mixer for me is spending a day in the kitchen with my granddaughter baking goodies.
Hello 👋 Beautiful Lady 🌹..How are you and the weather condition like?
I started with a 4.5qrt classic tilt head and then added a 5qrt bowl lift for meat grinding and food processing BUT I really had the whine it has and am going to get the 7quart. I plan to add a grain mill also and I think the larger motors are best for the grinder & mill attachments- which is primarily what I use my mixer for. I really love the 4.5 quart classic tilt head for batches of cookies, cakes and muffins.
Thanks for the thoughtful insight. I know what I want now.
Hi Amy! Your videos are awesome. So helpful. I am trying to decide between the Wolf 7qt Stand Mixer and the KA KSM7586PSR Pro Line 7 qt Bowl Lift Stand Mixer. I would prefer a tilt head but want a large capacity, so I have to get a bowl lift. In our family, we bake all the time, sometimes 2-3 times a day. This necessitates a mixer that can withstand a lot of use. We really want something that doesn’t shake on the counter when kneading bread dough. With our current KA, we use an extra bowl and extra paddle attachment quite often. Both mixers have good warranties. The downsides of the Wolf seem to be: heavy, expensive, and has limited accessories (no pasta maker, etc). The cost of an extra bowl is super expensive, over $200. I called Wolf and they said they will be selling a paddle attachment on their site later this year, but that will also be very expensive. As far as the motor, the Wolf seems more powerful but not according to the wattage listed. The Wolf is 500 watts and the KA is 969 watts. Is it easier to get the bowl in and out on the Wolf? Any other thoughts about these two?
Thanks, you really narrowed this down for me. I appreciate it!
Thanks! I didn’t even think about the problem of mixing small quantities in a larger bowl. I was thinking bigger and more powerful is better (& cheaper with holiday sales). I won’t be mixing giant batches, and kind of want a wacky color so maybe tilt is better for me.
First- measure the amount of space you have from the top of your counter to the bottom of the cabinets above (IF that is the way you would use it) A lot of people do not have enough space for a Bowl Lift machine to fit there.
Thank you for your very helpful review. Made it so much easier for me to decide which one will work best for me based on my own lifestyle, functionality etc.. Truly appreciate
Thank you! I subscribed. I really enjoyed your comparison and honestly the way you see that one is not better than the other, they are just different
Thank you so much for the comparisons. I was going to get the bowl lift at first. But I am super happy with my tilt head. And super glad I got that instead.
Hi Agnes, I like the convenience of the tilt head but am worried the shaking of the head will shorten its life span or that it struggle to make larger amount or simple pizza dough. Can I ask what do you like like so much about it? :)
@@francoisona Not at all. I still have my mother's tilt head that works like a charm and it must be 50 years old. I gave it to my daughter when I received the bowl lift as a gift. I like the tilt head much better. It is much easier to add ingredients and get the beater on and off. If I were buying one, I would definitely buy a tilt head. In fact, even though I have a newer bowl lift, I am considering buying another tilt head and selling my bowl lift. The power difference is minimal to me. I mean, all of them are so powerful as compared to a hand mixer, that power is not a big deal to me.
I have both styles and they’re both vintage and still work great. They were both given to me but was thinking of downsizing and giving one away or selling it; now after viewing this video I think I’ll just keep both. Now how to store them!
Thanks this helps! I have the professional 5 with the 350wat motor..... After a year long temporary living situation I pulled my mixer out of storage to fund that a rodent had gotten into the box and urinated on top of the mixer. The urine ran into the cracks and crevices. I took it apart and sterilized it the best I could, but I am just not comfortable with it. Time to buy a new one. So sad, at the same time hard to toss the old one in the trash.
How can I not love you, watching this? You are awesome!
Thanks!
thank you for doing this because this has really helped me make a decision in what to get!
ty... u guys r great.... i did not c this b4 i got my 7qt mixer but i did not have a preference... i mainly went for the power as i also bought a lot of attachments to go with it and that power runs them all amazingly well ... i luv my beautiful red mixer!! ............. andddddd all the info u share... ty!!
This is a helpful video, even years later. I just got a 590w bowl lift. I'm not a big baker, but want the ability to make breads, pizza and pastas. My husband wants to grind meat, so I prioritized a powerful motor. I purchased used on FB marketplace. Tons of KA's but good prices for the more powerful ones are tough. Mine was
I just discovered your channel and love it! This video was VERY helpful in my decision, as was your comparison video with the Hamilton Beach mixer, so thank you for that. I'm trying to upgrade from my (very old, original early 80s) Sunbeam Oster! Lol. Never used, but always wanted a Kitchenaid. Quick question...... can bowl sizes be interchanged with the tilt head mixers? Meaning, if I get a 4.5qt for every day use, but need a 6qt once in a while, can I use it with that mixer?
Very helpful. Thank you so much Amy!
Thanks for the video. I have the Pro 6 and it has been serving me well for nearly 13 years. Martha Martha Martha💜 I absolutely had to get a KA because of Martha 🤗. My mom had a Oster and my grandma had a Sunbeam which I have in my garage. It hasn’t been used for at least 27 years. I’m really hoping it still works. One of these days I’ll pull it out.
💜❌⭕️💜❌⭕️💜❌⭕️
Why is your Grandmother's mixer being kept in the garage? Over time the grease becomes like varnish and freezes up the beater shafts. Is the mixer showing some "scars" showing its age? for a price you can have it restored to have it looking ad working like new! Becoming something you have on your counter with pride.
Thank you so much! I have an old Ultra Power which is starting to waver and wasn't sure it I should go for the bowl lift. But, after watching your excellent review I think I will just get another Ultra Power. I am used to it, it fits under the counter and looks like if I switch to the bowl lift I will have to have a huge new learning curve that I'm not much interested in. Great help!
Do your KA ultra power do goods in kneading bread? I need to know, thanks.
@@Eian0214 It kneads bread great. You can't do a huge batch but a normal sized batch is fine in it.
I am OBSESSED with that pink one!!!!! Can’t find one anywhere
Thank you for teaching us. Its a big help..
There’s a 3 qt. Bowl that comes with a smaller whip that you can buy to use with the Pro 5 for doing your egg whites so you don’t need a smaller mixer for that reason.
Thank you for helping me make my decision - I’m getting the lift professional 5 plus
If you get it around Christmas time you may find some great deals on that. I got mine recently for less than $250.
Thank you so much for this video! I've never had a stand mixer and I've been going back and forth between the two types as well as debating a cheaper refurbished one. You helped me make my decision! 😊
So Shalena which one did you get in the end? Any regrets? Greetings from London UK
Thank you, I’m now sold on the tilt head
Thanks for watching!
Love your reviews. Thanks so much!
Thanks for brain storming for us, I did learn a lot about the difference about each mixer with you today 💃🏻❤️
I am glad that it was helpful, Roxana! Thanks for watching!
I love mixers. Baking and trying recipes is relaxing to me. I have three mixers so far and they’re my babies. Every time I get a new kitchen gadget, I welcome it to the family 🙃. I love watching your videos. Cause of you, I ‘m getting my 8quartz mixer from kitchen aid. I really was needing it cause I found the other mixers bowls small when I want to cook a lot. I have all the mixers accessories I like for my mixers. When I see your video, I’m glad to know that I’m not alone with my love for kitchen gadgets
What a fabulous video , y. Thanks so much. Glad I stumbled upon your video as I was busy searching for the KASM. Now I know what I am buying Artisan Tilt head 4.5 it is. 😊. Thanks so much
I am starting to look for one. I think the biggest reason is frequency of use and size of work. If you use it every day or two constantly then I would go for a heavy duty one. If you are doing baking once a month or even twice a month then I think the smaller power will do fine. Some have a fine vertical adjustment for the paddle so for instance if you are whipping only 2 eggs and you want to get closer to bottom of bowl you might find that feature useful.
Yeiii im glad I watched this. I got a bowl lift a couple of days ago, for some reason I think the tilt head wont be as durable. Now that I see this video I can tell I chose right
The Pro 500 and above have all metal gears. The tilt heads have plastic gears that tend to strip with extensive use or if you make thicker dough recipes.
