Overview
Kneading heavy bread dough or whipping large batches, the KitchenAid commercial mixer pairs a big bowl with an efficient DC motor that runs cooler for long mix times. A lever raises the bowl into the beater for steady contact.
Large capacity and a motor built for long kneads suit bakeries, caterers and serious home bakers. Its weight and height make it hard to move or store in a cabinet.
Who it's for
Home bakers making big loaves and commercial kitchens get commercial durability. Occasional cookie bakers will find it oversized and hard to store.
Pros and cons
- NSF certified for commercial kitchens
- Large bowl for big batches
- DC motor with less heat build-up
- Spiral dough hook for bread
- Heavy to move
- Tall for under cabinet storage
- Bowl-lift only, no tilt head
Performance notes
A DC motor delivers steady torque with less heat, so long kneads do not bog down. The bowl lift holds the bowl rigid against the beater, which matters with stiff, heavy doughs.
