We've had our KitchenAid Mixers for a while now and thought we'd do and 3 way comparison of them.
Bowl Size: Classic holds 4.5 Quarts while the Artisan and pro holds 5 Quarts.
More info at my blog at: cookiescupcakesandcardio.com/?...
Wattage: Classic has a 250 Watt motor while the Artisan has a 325 Watt motor and the Professional has 450 Watts.
Handle: Classic doesn't have a handle on the bowl, while the Artisan and Pro do.
Pour Shield: The Professional and Classic doesn't come with one while the Artisan does.

@TrombaMilitare16 Yes, I made a mistake … I meant Watts not Amps when comparing the Ultra to the Classic. I’ll admit I don’t know much about how Watts or Amps translate to actual power at the paddle. I can only assume that since Kitchenaid advertises this as a difference, that there is an actual difference in power at the paddle.

@Kellc28 well, with my experience with the pro and small batches is that yes, it does struggle...as in the bowl is too big for the quantity. I haven't made a lot of dough, just small batches for pizza but I use all of my mixers for icing ALL the time. What I have found is that as long as there is sufficient liquid, and the power is set at low speed, they all work fine. The exception is when there is NOT enough liquid, and the speed is set too high, my pro has "paused" working.

I have all three! Started with the Classic (my bowl has a handle) about 30 years ago. Graduated to the Artisan about six years ago. Just recently received as a birthday gift the Professional 600. I use all three depending on what I'm making, some times two at one time (I use the Classic exclusively for meringues). I'm not a professional baker and my kitchen is the size of a postage stamp but I make it work! I love seeing them on my counter - to me they are functional and beautiful...

@plainlybasic2300 7 жыл бұрын

Kitchenaid has just made a "mini" version! Its smaller and lighter, but has the same amount of power as the Classic! And it would fit into your collection wonderfully! I have a white classic, and while I don't need the mini, it wouldn't hurt to have one, my excuse is going to be that our camper needs one! Lol, and it wouldn't hurt to start a collection. :)

THANK YOU FOR THIS! I have been wondering about how much better the artisan actually is to the classic. I can live without a handle a shield. It's awesome to hear from someone who's actually used both multiple times instead of just repeating the specs in a review. My boyfriend found a great deal on a classic plus so I think I'll go with that instead of holding out for the Artisan. One day I'll upgrade to a professional. THANK YOU!

i don't have any experience with the pro 600, i imagine it will be a step up and above the pro 5. since you say you are doing smaller batches 80% of the time, i would go with the artisan, BUT the pro is really nice to have for the larger batches. You won't be disappointed if you get the pro and that way you can do all of your baking in it.

@Cookiescupcakesandcardio 12 жыл бұрын
