*Compared to full-size KitchenAid® tilt-head Stand Mixers.

Can you use the KitchenAid^® Stand Mixer attachments with Artisan Mini?

Yes. The Artisan Mini is compatible with all hub-powered KitchenAid^® Stand Mixer attachments. However, Mini is incompatible with bowl attachments (Ice Cream, Precise Heat Mixing Bowl).

How can it be powerful when it's so small?

The Artisan Mini uses an efficient, compact DC motor that delivers the power you need while taking up less space. This mixer is powerful enough for nearly any task or recipe, whether you're stirring wet and dry ingredients together, kneading bread dough, or whipping cream.

How much does Artisan Mini weigh?

The Artisan Mini weighs 16 lbs, which is 25% lighter than the KitchenAid® full-size tilt-head Stand Mixer.

Which parts are dishwasher safe?

The flat beater, dough hook, flex edge beater, and bowl are dishwasher safe. The wire whip should be hand-washed.

Does the Artisan Mini have overload protection?

Yes, this ensures the mixer will turn off if the mixer cannot turn a KitchenAid® beater accessory or KitchenAid® Stand Mixer attachment connected through the Power Hub after 5 seconds.

Because it is smaller, will I need to let it rest between multiple batches of heavier recipes such as pasta or bread dough?

The smaller size of Artisan Mini does not require rest time different from that of other full-size KitchenAid^® tilt-head Stand Mixers.
