Artisan Mini Series

Kitchenaid is the best! I have a 7 quart very heavy mixer that I could no longer lift and that I also did not have room to leave on my kitchen counter. This one is smaller, lighter weight, and does not take up much counter space. I had to get used to mixing and adding ingredients a little more slowly since the mixing bowl is not as deep as the bigger mixers. The mixer runs very quietly but still gives me enough power to mix up my usual muffins, cakes, and bread recipes. The attachments are smaller to accommodate the smaller bowl. The only downside for some may be that the mixing bowl may not have enough room to mix up a double recipe if that is something you do frequently. Overall, I am very happy with the size and performance of this mixer!

Smaller than full size mixer. But we just recently renovated our kitchen, and the full size mixer would not fit on the mixer lift we had installed, and full size was too heavy. This is a smaller, lighter version with the same power which fits the lift. Perfect if you don't have the room and we are still able to make full casseroles and cakes. KitchenAid is the only brand mixer we will buy...the difference in quality is obvious.

I have wanted a KitchenAid stand mixer for years. I love the look and also the idea of being able to multitask in the kitchen instead of holding onto a hand mixer the entire time. My kitchen is smaller with limited counter space so the larger version of the stand mixer would barely fit under my cabinets. I saw this advertised on Prime day and was ecstatic to see this smaller version. It just arrived today and I have already unboxed it and used it to make my “famous” oatmeal cookies. It works Iike an absolute dream and I am officially smitten 🥰. It fits beautifully on my counter and under the cabinets. It’s slightly larger than our Nespresso Vertuo machine as a comparison. I bake my own bread from scratch and am going to try out the dough hook tomorrow. Totally worth the investment. I am thinking of purchasing the glass bowl too. IMHO this version is plenty for a small household and is easy to move, not heavy at all.

I kept waffling back-and-forth between this and a larger model specifically because all the video reviews and everything said this was appropriate for 1-2 people, but the deal is if you just bake normal things and normal portions like one cake or pie, or one batch of cookies at a time, and you don't want a larger model, this is just fine for a family up to 4-6 people. My wife broke it in today and made a batch of four dozen cookies using a 12 oz. bag of chocolate chips and had no issues with the bowl being too small for the batch. We wanted a stand mixer because while my wife loves baking, she has issues with arthritis that make hand mixing something like this batch of cookies and other things that you would normally hand mix difficult. But this mixer made the task nearly effortless, and once she was done mixing the batch she described this mixer as "a Godsend." I really wanted this model because it has a DC motor and is just as powerful but quieter than the larger models with their AC motors, and it also has all metal gears and soft-start. The only drawback with the 3.5 quart model is that there isn't a plethora of additional bowls and accessories, though all the attachments do work with it apparently with the exception of the ice cream maker. There's only a couple of additional beaters available from KitchenAid or any other vendor, I could only find a glass mixing bowl from KA, and there's no pouring shields from anyone, just generic pouring chutes (and NO, it does NOT come with a pouring shield despite what this website says). There's also no pastry beaters available, but I figure if our baking skills progress that far then we’ll get the 5 quart Artisan next Black Friday. Update: Made a yeast roll recipe that called for 4 cups of flour, and it just rode up the dough hook instead of mixing around in the bottom. I will halve the recipe in order to make it in this mixer. Still happy, though.

We are very happy with this addition to our kitchen. It replaced the older standard model, which was heavier and harder to store and maneuver. There was no loss of utility with this smaller model.

I initially bought the KitchenAid classic mixer but then saw many recent one star ratings on such and decided to return and upgrade to the KitchenAid mini artisan 3.5 mixer. So glad I did as I can use w/o having to move mixer at all. It opens up w/o even touching the upper cabinets. Also has the flexible mixing attachment for the bowl. Now it's time for some Jewish Deli Rye bread with caraway seeds. Yum Yum

Súper bonita... me encanto!

Práctica, compacta y super útil, llegó bien empacada y a tiempo

I have had this for a few years and love it. It is lightweight and doesn't take a ton of room on the countertop. The bowl is big enough for cakes, muffins, meringues, and single loaves of focaccia bread.

Works very well as advertised. I like to do cookies in batches that are usually around 24 to 36 and it seems to be around the perfect size for that. I also made a massive cake – three layers end with this mixer. That nearly took it to the limit, but it worked. The look as attractive, build quality is excellent, and functionality a welcome addition addition to my kitchen.

Excelente producto a un excelente precio.
