Kitchenaid: Artisan Mixer, Standard Mixer, and Professional Series Compared

The time has come to buy a Kitchenaid mixer. It has been worth the wait but which one to buy? You can choose from the Artisan mixer, the Professional series, and the Standard collection. Each has different features depending on your personal needs and choosing can be a bit overwhelming. To make the selection easier, I have put together a quick reference guide to the most popular features.

Tilt Head vs. Bowl Lift
The tilt head is what you’ll find on traditional home use mixers. The head tilts back for adding tools and then tilts forward to fit inside the bowl. These mixers are normally a few pounds lighter and fit easier on the counter due to the smaller height.

The bowl lift is found in more commercial settings. The bowl is lifted up and down by a swing arm while the head stays still. These normally have more power and are better for making harder dough.

Size
How much do you plan on making in your mixing bowl? In general, the more you pay for the mixer the more bread you can make. For example, the basic model costs around $200 and will make 3 ¾ loaves of bread. Compare that to the Artisan series for around $300 that makes 4 ½ loaves, while the Professional series makes 6 ¾ loaves and costs around $400.  

Color
The Standard series, while it is less expensive, does not come in as many colors as the other two.

Both the Artisan series and the Professional series come in a variety of colors to match practically any kitchen.

Only the Kitchenaid Artisan comes in pink. A portion of the Cook for the Cure Pink Product series goes to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for breast cancer research.
