KitchenAid Artisan Mini 3.5-Qt Tilt-Head Stand Mixer, Contour Silver
The Artisan Mini fits comfortably under most kitchen cabinets and handles a standard batch of cookies, a loaf of bread, or a single-recipe cake without the bulk of a full-size stand mixer. The same 59-point planetary mixing action as the larger KitchenAid models means no under-mixed batter around the bowl edges. At 7 lbs lighter than the 5-quart Artisan, it moves on and off the counter without the counterweight commitment of a full-size machine. The same hub accepts all KitchenAid attachments, so it grows with your cooking.
