Overview
Built around a bowl-lift design instead of a tilt-head, this 5.5 quart stand mixer offers 11 speeds including a half-speed folding setting, with a 3-point locking bowl and a coated flat beater, dough hook, and 6-wire whip included.
The bowl-lift design trades the tilt-head's swing-up head for a bowl that locks and lifts into place, which the listing says roughly doubles bowl power over KitchenAid's tilt-head mixer.
- 5.5 quart bowl-lift design
- 11 speeds with half-speed folding
- 3-point locking bowl for stability
- Includes beater, dough hook, whisk
Who it's for
Bakers who regularly knead bread dough or mix large batches and want more stability than a tilt-head mixer offers. Less suited to anyone with limited counter space who won't leave a heavy mixer out.
Pros and cons
- One reviewer called the bowl itself cheap and unpleasant to use despite praising the motor
- Bowl has no handle, which takes some adjustment to lift
