Kitchenaid mixer professional 7 quart


KitchenAid Pro Line Stand Mixer review: for serious bakers

The KitchenAid Pro Line Stand Mixer was designed to take on serious tasks, with its 7 quart and sturdy bowl-lift design. It's still got all the charm of the very best stand mixers though, albeit with a limited color palette when compared to more domestic-minded KitchenAid mixers such as the Artisan. 

UK buyers will know the KitchenAid Pro Line Stand Mixer as the KitchenAid 6.9L Artisan stand mixer, which is available exclusively through the KitchenAid UK website . If you take your home baking very seriously, or if you're a professional chef looking for a new sidekick, you need look no further than this mixer. In this KitchenAid Pro Line Stand Mixer review we put it to the test, making cupcakes, buttercream frosting, and a loaf of bread.

Unlike other stand mixers we have reviewed, such as the Cuisinart Precision Stand Mixer which has a tilt-head design, the KitchenAid Pro Line Stand Mixer is a bowl-lift stand mixer. That means you push the bowl down onto the handles and then lift it into place by twisting the lever on the side of the mixer. This lever is on the opposite side to the control dial, so it can be tricky to access unless you use the mixer face-on.

The lever does lift and secure the bowl into place with ease, and the 7-quart bowl itself is very well-sized to allow space for generous batches, without compromising on the quality of the mixing you'll get for smaller batches. 

With the KitchenAid Pro Line Stand Mixer you get a splash guard, which sits on top of the bowl and allows you to pour ingredients in as you mix without splashing batter or flour all over your kitchen.  

There is also a stainless steel 11-wire whip which has an oval shape that reaches the sides of the bowl when mixing. There is also a stainless steel dough hook and coated flat beater. They feel hefty and high-quality. 

Making cake in the KitchenAid Pro Line Stand Mixer

(Image credit: Future)

I made a sponge cake in the KitchenAid Pro Line Stand Mixer, first using the whisk to cream together my butter and sugar to achieve a noticeable change in color and fluffy consistency. 

I find that this is where most stand mixers struggle, because unlike the best hand mixers, where you can move the whisk around the bowl to make sure nothing is un-incorporated, stand mixers have a tendency to leave butter and sugar left at the side of the bowl. Typically I have to go in and scoop butter away from the side of the bowl when mixing, but the KitchenAid Pro Line Stand Mixer did an excellent job of combining butter and suggar and whipping them together for a fluffy texture. I only had to use my spatula once.

The flat beater did an excellent job of combining the flour and eggs once I had finished with the whisk. I found switching attachments a little fiddly, because I had to lower the bowl and stick my hand into it slightly to remove attachments. It's definitely easier in a tilt-head, where the attachments are easier to access. Overall though, the stand mixer did a brilliant job of mixing my ingredients.

The buttercream icing also came out well when I used the whisk attachment to combine butter, icing sugar, and some coffee (I was making a coffee cake). Even with the bowl only partially full, it had no trouble mixing all of my ingredients. 

Making bread in the KitchenAid Pro Line Stand Mixer

(Image credit: Future)

When I tested the KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer, I found that the smaller motor struggled to knead bread without causing the machine to shake. With the KitchenAid Pro Line Stand Mixer, this was no matter.  

Using the dough hook I combined my flour, yeast, salt, sugar, water, and olive oil. I then left the stand mixer on the second notch along, which is still plenty powerful enough despite the fact that there are ten speed settings in total, to knead for ten minutes. 

(Image credit: Future)

It is clear that the KitchenAid Pro Line Stand Mixer was designed for professionals, because it had no trouble kneading my dough. I usually feel the need to monitor my mixer as it kneads, in case the motion causes the mixer to move around my work surface. 

With the KitchenAid Pro Line Stand Mixer I had no such trouble. It is very sturdy and capable, and I would have felt comfortable making at least three more batches in one go with this machine, which is great for those who like to batch-bake.

The loaf speaks for itself. It rose incredibly well and evenly. I use the same bread recipe when testing every stand mixer, so the only difference is the quality of the knead it receives. The KitchenAid Pro Line Stand Mixer was a real success, so those who bake a lot of bread shouldn't hesitate to invest. 

Cleaning the KitchenAid Pro Line Stand Mixer

All of the attachments for the KitchenAid Pro Line Stand Mixer can go in the dishwasher, which is a welcome feature given how fiddly it can be to clean whisks and flat beaters by hand. Especially for those who take their baking very seriously, it saves a lot of time and effort to be able to use a dishwasher after the food is prepped. 

Is the KitchenAid Pro Line Stand Mixer worth the money? 

(Image credit: KitchenAid )

At time of writing you can buy the KitchenAid Pro Line Stand Mixer for $650, which is certainly the most expensive stand mixer I've ever tested. Simply put though, it is also the best stand mixer I have ever tested (and trust me, I have tried a lot). 

I have never had so little trouble with butter sticking to the side of the bowl when baking, nor have I felt that I could leave the mixer unattended to knead my dough, until I tried the KitchenAid Pro Line. While it's definitely more powerful than some hobby bakers will require, if you take your baking seriously and need an investment machine to work on your recipes, I do think the KitchenAid Pro Line Stand Mixer is worth the money. 

Should you buy the KitchenAid Pro Line Stand Mixer?

The KitchenAid Pro Line Stand Mixer will not be for everyone. For a start, it is large and heavy. It did manage to fit underneath my kitchen counters, but with a lot less clearance than the regular KitchenAid Artisan. Some will also prefer the tilt-head design that not only looks marginally more attractive than a bowl-lift mixer, but also allows you to access attachments easily for quick switches.

However, home chefs and those who bake on the regular should absolutely consider investing in the KitchenAid Pro Line Stand Mixer. It is a low-maintenance mixer that takes on the muscle work for you, with minimal intervention needed. If it's a kitchen sidekick you're after, it's our top pick.

This Fan-Favorite KitchenAid Mixer Just Got an Awesome Upgrade

Maybe you’re into pies right now (hey, it’s apple season!), or perhaps spongey, decadent focaccia — or maybe you’ve been working on your macaron game (in which case you probably need this hot cocoa macaron recipe). It might be that you’re trying out every recipe you can get your hands on, but no matter what’s making your inner baker tick right now, you’re gonna need some top-notch tools to perfect all that weighing, whisking, and whipping.

When it comes to sourcing kitchen essentials to aid you in the ultimate bake, investing in high-quality stuff makes all the difference (trust me, I’m a former pastry chef). You’ll need la creme de la creme when it comes to tools (check out my favorite spatula) and equipment alike. And there’s no better time to re-up on these sweet-treat-making essentials than right now (the holidays are coming up, and fast). That’s why when we found out KitchenAid was revamping their do-it-all 7-Quart Stand Mixer, we took it as a sign that it’s finally time to order the machine of our dreams.

Score this workhorse and you’ll discover the wonders of the all-new half speed setting. Anyone who has ever tried to fold in or carefully incorporate nuts and chocolate without deflating batter knows that most stand mixers whirr a little too fast to handle this delicate task. In fact, many of you may have dirtied multiple utensils and your stand mixer because the machine was too speedy. Or worse, you’ve had to start the whole baking process over because you lost all the gorgeous aeration in your batter. Well, you can finally put said frustrations to rest because the new ultra-slow setting (half the speed of the first tick mark on all the other KitchenAid models) will never over-beat, over-whisk, or deflate your delicious creations ever again.

Plus, this newly upgraded machine comes along with a special beater that’ll make any beating process effortless. The included double-sided, flex edge beater will incorporate even the most stubborn and sticky ingredients, ensuring you’ll never have to stop the process to manually scrap the bowl again. See? Easy!

But that’s not all, this mixer has twice the power of the traditional tilt-head model and an ultra-secure three-point locking bowl to assure extra stability no matter if you’re kneading a stubborn dough or shredding chicken in big batches (for enchiladas, if I may be so bold as to suggest). Speaking of big batches, the bowl’s capacity is 7 quarts, which means you can tackle 13 dozen cookies, knead over eight and a half pounds of bread, or mash over seven and a half pounds of potatoes (which you’ll certainly be doing come turkey day if your household is anything like mine). The mixer also comes along with all the essential adds ons including a pouring shield, dough hook, wire whip attachment, pastry beater, flat beater, and scraper.

Long story short, this thing is worth the big bucks. And while it does make for a timely purchase right now with all the baking that’s surely ahead, I think you’ll find that this thing will last an entire lifetime, and make every single baking adventure all the easier.

History of KitchenAid by years

A REVOLUTIONARY INVENTION It all started with an idea proposed by a woman.

Her name was Josephine Cochrane and she revolutionized the culinary world.

In 1886, she patented the invention we know today as the dishwasher. Nine of her incredible cars have been exhibited, sold and used in restaurants. Some were bought for use in respectable hotels: the Baltimore in New York and the Tremor and Palmer House in Chicago. The first models cost from 700 to 1000 dollars. Wanting to popularize her invention, Josephine adapted the machine for home use, and it began to sell for $350. It happened shortly before the death of the inventor at 1913 year

THE BIRTH OF A LEGEND - The first mixer and the emergence of the brand.

Nearly a hundred years ago, an Ohio engineer named Herbert Johnson invented another miraculous device that was destined to revolutionize the lives of professional chefs and gourmets: the first commercial mixer, the Model H5. While testing the appliance, the wife of one of the company's directors unknowingly came up with the brand name, exclaiming: "I don't care what you call it, but this is the best kitchen aid I've ever had." ! This is how the KitchenAid brand was born. Over the years, KitchenAid has continued to reinvent and refine its innovative designs for gourmets and chefs, drawing inspiration from the professional world.

MIXER FOR THE STARS - Growing popularity and record sales.

The model that replaced the H-5 quickly became popular ... in the first three years, 20,000 copies were sold on the market. Celebrities such as John Barrymore, Marion Davis, E.I. DuPont, Henry Ford, Myrna Loy, Fredric March, Ginger Rogers, and New York Governor Al Smith all commented on the high level of this device.

DESIGN EXPERT - The combination of style and the latest technology.

Egmont Ahrens, editor of Creative Arts magazine and one of the most famous publications in the world - Vanity Fair, was also a famous designer. He has worked with KitchenAid for several years, sharing his unique experience with the company. He created three of the most elegant models of the mixer, among which was the famous K-model, which has become a cult today. Considered revolutionary in those years, his work received several design awards and is exhibited in many museums. More than 60 years later, KitchenAid mixers still look and feel like the ones Ahrens created, testifying to his great talent ahead of its time.

DESIGN FOR THE AGE…timeless

The K5A was introduced on the eve of World War II and... all three mixers designed by Ahrens have remained virtually unchanged to this day. They have been exhibited in museums around the world and received design awards.

A GENIUS INVENTION GOES TO THE KITCHEN - Josephine Cochrane's dream comes true with the KD-10.

Attracted by the potential of Josephine Cochrane's invention, KitchenAid improved the performance of the device and created the KD-10 dishwasher in a white and pink color scheme! The advantages of this machine were far from being limited to its unusual appearance: the KD-10 model was based on a revolutionary technology for those times, which still serves as the basis of all dishwashers today. This is an amazing device in all respects, whose characteristics are comparable to the capabilities of modern devices. By the way, some KD-10 models are still in use.

COLORED WORLD - Vibrant colors are the hallmark of KitchenAid.

Taste and color
In 1955, the first mixer in bright colors appeared in the world of nondescript kitchen appliances: “pink petal”, “sunny yellow”, “island green”, “satin chrome” and “antique copper” ... In 1994, the palette was expanded, and new models too enjoyed great success. Vivid red, cobalt blue, apple green, pastel yellow, anthracite and even mandarin orange… these shades have delighted chefs all over the world.

CHARITY KITCHENAID - Women's Cause…

Global Responsibility: Cook for the Cure Program.
The company has unveiled its first line of small and large appliances inspired by the style, design and outstanding professional performance of the legendary KitchenAid food processor. The KitchenAid professional line, which includes the brand's best products, consists of eight pieces of large appliances, including a stainless steel dishwasher with a special metallized matte finish. That same year, KitchenAid partnered with the Susan Komen Breast Cancer Foundation to support women in their fight against breast cancer.
