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.
Pros and cons

- Motor placement keeps base stable under load
- Includes two bowls and multiple whisk attachments
- 7 year motor warranty
- Learning curve versus a standard head mixer
