KitchenAid Artisan Mini 3.5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer - KSM3316X - Empire Red

The more I have used this KitchenAid 3.5 quart stand mixer, the more I like it. It has quality construction and feels very high end. I use it a lot when baking. It mixes effortlessly with its 10 speed control and is relatively quiet for a mixer. This model is suitable for preparing smaller batches and is probably more suitable for smaller households - You can add accessories to turn the mixer into a multifunctional countertop appliance. It comes in beautiful colors but I stayed with white which is timeless vs. some of the colors that will likely fall out of favor as trends change.

The color, the power, and the size of this is perfect!It’s great for small items. I can do piecrust cookies, pizza dough, and not have to get out the great big one that I used for holidays

I have been wanting a Kitchenaid mixer forever. This one is perfect for me as I'm not a big baker/cook; but when I do want to do some baking this mixer makes it easier. Love the color and would recommend it!

Perfect stand mixer for wheat floor mix and ice cream making purpose. I have been using the stand mixer for couple of weeks and fully satisfied.

...because it isn't what I thought I ordered. My hand mixer finally laid down after almost 20 years so I needed another mixer. I have gifted a couple of the lift bowl Kitchenaids and they got rave reviews. I figured I'd get a stand mixer myself and I did. But not the one I wanted. I wasn't paying the attention I should have and this 3.5 Artisan showed up. I opened it up, liked the way I could tilt the head without scooting it from beneath the cabinets. It looked kinda small, but I thought to give it a chance. I gave it the kill or cure treatment. Those of you that make toffee bars know what a stiff mix that is. I set it up. 2 cups of flour, packed, 1 cup of brown sugar, packed, 1 cup of softened butter and assorted small ingredients. I whisked the dry ingredients, easy enough, but the blend was almost perfect. No missed globs of anything. I added the wet stuff and used the strangely hollow mixer with a rubber blade on speed number 1. Slow, but good. The mixer blade was doing okay, but the wiper blade was missing some spots. Speed 2,3 and 4. The mixer blade was mixing and the wiper blade was wiping. The motor sounded a little burdened on 1 and 2, but 3 and 4 it settled into a smooth sound. Toffee dough does not even faze this little motor. I am duly impressed, Not a speck of dough got out of the bowl, everything went into the dishwasher, and my toffee bars are on the counter. This little stand mixer is a keeper.

Beautiful and compact! Perfect don’t need it’s bigger brother💰

My mother loved this smaller standing mixer. Well-made, attractive, very useful. Warning: it is still quite heavy. If the person who will be using it is elderly or disabled, plan on setting it up on the counter and leaving it. This is not something that you will be putting away after use. It is also materially more expensive than other brands but the version I have is probably 10 years old, still looks good, and still works well.

This compact Kitchenaid mixer is perfect when you don’t have room for a larger model. Does everything the larger models do and fits in half the space. Plenty of power. Love it!!
