KitchenAid KSM3311XBM Artisan Mini 3.5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer, Matte Black

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just pick this up to help me with many of the baking recipes that I make, just getting to old to do everything by hand. It has a ton of muscle for such a little stand mixer and I was very pleased with the results from the get go. The only drawback is the bowl isn't very wide but is deep so a little awkward getting chips mixed in but the only way that I could see to change that would require a whole new design. Overall I am extremely happy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my Kitchenaid Mini last month. I already owned a large Kitchenaid stand mixer for about 40 years, which I will use for large recipes. But now that there is just two of us the mini makes better kitchen cabinet use. I was also excited about the better use of my attachments it is much easier to use with the shorter height. Made spaghetti noodles last night and it was a delight to work with the more reachable height. I was a bit nervous before I purchased about the mixer paddle being open in the middle, I had seen a lot of reviews where that was a dislike. But I have made many things with this mini and I find that is not at all a problem in fact I like the ease in scrapping off the paddle delightful and much easier. It did not have any detrimental effect in the mixing of any batter I have made. I highly recommend Kitchenaid and for small spaces the Kitchenaid Mini is fantastic! All the power you love Kitchenaid for in a smaller package!
