Whether you're entertaining for many, or whipping up a treat for one, the KitchenAid Artisan Matte Black 5.6L Bowl Lift Food Mixer is the perfect size. Combining KitchenAid's iconic Artisan mixer styling with the sturdiness of a bowl lift configuration, this mixer is ready to take on anything, and boasts a full metal construction and die-cast metal control knobs. If you're more than just a 'now and then' baker, this is the mixer for you. Taller and bigger than tilt-head mixers, the bowl attaches securely into place at three lock points, making it extremely sturdy - ideal when working with heavy mixtures. A lever lowers and raises the bowl into position and the ergonomic bowl handle makes it easy to position and lift off. With all metal gearing, the improved motor offers more performance to handle a large number of preparations. With 11 distinct speeds, you have complete control over power. The 1/2 speed setting lets you gently fold in delicate ingredients or keep air in batters without overbeating, just as if you were doing it by hand. A soft start feature minimises the risk of messy splashes. This mixer also utilises KitchenAid's original planetary action for fast and thorough mixing. The mixer head rotates in one direction while the attachment rotates in the other, allowing the beater to touch the bowl at 67 points. With a large 5.6L capacity, this mixer handles medium to large quantities of food, easily kneading up to 3.7kg of bread dough, whipping 8 egg whites or making 11 dozen cookies. Supplied with a pouring shield, wire whisk, silver coated double paddle and a silver coated spiral dough hook. The attachment hub lets you unleash your creativity, allowing you to plug in a large range of accessories (available separately). Approximate dimensions: H41.9cm x W28.7cm x D37.1cm. Weight: 13kg. The KitchenAid Artisan Matte Black 5.6L Bowl Lift Food Mixer is supplied with a 5 year guarantee plus a 15 year repair promise.
