Overview
The Ankarsrum Original AKM6230 is a Swedish-made bowl-driven stand mixer with a 7 liter stainless steel bowl, a 3.5 liter Tritan bowl, dough hook and roller, and a 7 year motor warranty, built for bakers who knead bread often.
- 7 liter stainless bowl plus 3.5 liter Tritan bowl
- Dough roller, hook, scraper and dual whisk attachments
- All-metal chrome-plated zinc control knobs
- 7 year manufacturer warranty on the motor
Who it's for
Suits home bakers making bread, pizza, or other dense dough on a regular basis, especially anyone whose previous mixer overheated or hopped during long kneads. Less suited to someone whose main use is whipping cream or egg whites, since several owners found that weaker than a standard stand mixer.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners repeatedly credit the under-bowl motor with keeping the machine stable during long bread kneads and say it handles heavy dough that overheated a previous KitchenAid. Several mention a real learning curve switching from a head mixer, and more than one reviewer found whipping egg whites unreliable enough that they kept a separate hand mixer for that job.
