KitchenAid debuts new stand mixer colour – and it will definitely stand out on your counter

In the brand’s new, limited-edition ‘spearmint’ green the Kitchenaid 4.7l artisan is an excellent choice for home cooks and bakers. It was the first home stand mixer to work with a planetary action – that is, the shaft and the mixing accessory rotate in opposite directions for better reach – and features 20 different speeds. It comes with a 4.7l and a 2.8l bowl as well as plenty of accessories, including a pastry beater, a whisk for aerating, a dough hook for kneading and a flex edge beater for stickier mixtures, and features a tilt-head design for easy access and cleaning.

In her review of the best stand mixers, our kitchen appliance tester was impressed with its performance when testing the 4.8l model. “There’s real force behind this machine; it seems like it could run for hours without faltering (not that that’s necessary, given our egg whites reached soft peaks in mere moments)”, they said. While it’s definitely not cheap, they said that, “if you’re going to have this machine forever – and you really might – it’s worth the investment.”
