KitchenAid 6-Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer with 11 Speeds & Double Flex Edge Beater

Take on everyday recipes and larger baking projects with the KitchenAid 6-Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer. Its bowl-lift design and 3-point locking bowl provide stability when mixing heavy, dense ingredients, while the stainless steel bowl offers capacity for both large and small batches.

Choose from 11 distinct speeds, ranging from gentle 1/2 speed to powerful speed 10. The dedicated 1/2 speed setting helps fold delicate ingredients, such as blueberries and egg whites, into mixtures without overbeating.

Four included mixing tools let you switch between folding, beating, kneading, and whipping. For more culinary possibilities, the mixer supports over 10 optional attachments, sold separately, for tasks such as making pasta, grinding meat, and preparing ice cream.
