The Artisan multifunctional stand mixer, created by Egmont Arens in 1937, and its predecessor, the bowl-lift model created in 1909, are powerful and reliable machines that have been used by cooking enthusiasts and professionals for decades. KitchenAid has recently launched a new line of bowl-lift stand mixers with updated features and designs in 2023. The new models have a capacity of 5.2L or 6.6L, 11 speeds, and a unique hub for optional attachments. They also feature a soft start function and a slow fold speed for delicate ingredients.
