\"KitchenAid<\/a>KitchenAid makes a lot of different models of their mixers, each with slightly different options. This makes comparing all the different model difficult if you\u2019re only looking at the names. Since we\u2019ve used our fair share of the different models in our baking, we\u2019ll try to give you a fair assessment\u00a0between the three of the most popular models; The KitchenAid Pro 5, Artisan and the Classic.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We\u2019ll start by reviewing what all the KitchenAid mixers have on common:<\/p>\n

Stainless steel bowl:<\/strong> The size of the bowls may differ, several models have handles and there are a few different types of finishes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mixer Attachment:<\/strong> All KitchenAid mixers come with three attachments: a flat beater, a dough hook and a wire whip. These attachments vary in size and in coating, depending on the mixer model.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speed Range:<\/strong> All models have a 10 speed settings on the switch<\/strong><\/p>\n

Motor and Transmission:<\/strong> All models use an all metal motor and have a straight drive gears that removes the need for a belt that might breakdown.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Power Hub:<\/strong> Each mixer has a power hub for extra KitchenAid Attachments.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The major differences you will find in the KitchenAid mixers are in the way the bowl is removed and the motor size they have. There are two different way in which the bowls are removed:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tilt Head Mixers:<\/strong> These are found on the small KitchenAid models. They permit easy access to the bowl and beaters as the top of the machine tilts back. The tilt head mixers are also lighter, making them easier to move.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bowl Lift Mixers:<\/strong> These are found on the professional line of KitchenAid mixers. On these model the head is fixed, while the bowl is moved up and down for removal. This makes these models work similar to larger commercial mixers. It lets you use a large bowl and work with larger qualities of material, but also makes for a taller and heavier mixer that isn\u2019t as easy to move around.<\/p>\n

Motor Size:<\/strong> KitchenAid relates the motor size of their mixer machines in watts. This ranges from 250 watts on the smaller mixer to 575 watts on the larger mixers. Wattage doesn\u2019t directly relate to how powerful the mixer though. For example, a 500 watt mixer would not make it twice as powerful as 250 watt mixer.<\/p>\n
