Kitchenaid Mixer – The New Artisan Mini Makes It All
The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.
There are a few kitchen essentials that are on my list of must-haves and a KitchenAid® Mixer is at the top of the list. Ask any baker and they’ll tell you this is an appliance you simply can’t live without. And now KitchenAid has introduced a smaller size that’s perfect for people with smaller kitchens.
A KitchenAid Mixer That’s Mini in Size and Max in Performance
Table of Contents
The KitchenAid Artisan® Mini Mixer is 25 percent lighter and 20 percent smaller than a regular KitchenAid mixer. But don’t underestimate what this appliance can do!  It has a 3.5-Qt bowl to make up to 5 dozen cookies and over 10 available attachments. So you can make everything from fresh pasta to burgers, veggie noodles and lots more.
I was truly impressed with how well this smaller version stands up to my classic mixer. It’s able to handle all the same tasks with the same level of high performance I’m used to with my larger mixer. Whipping up a batch of brownies is a breeze, the Artisan Mini mixed the batter to perfection. Making bread was just as smooth and simple.
The Artisan Mini Stand Mixer also features 10 mixing speeds and comes with a coated flat beater, dough hook and 6-wire whip.
A Kitchen Essential for Millennials
The compact size and lighter weight make the KitchenAid Artisan Mini the perfect gift for city dwellers. This lighter weight, thinner mixer slides right into smaller spaces and takes up less counter top space. So you can make all the things the classic mixer is known for mastering without needing to make more room for the machine itself.
I made these fabulous vanilla lemon cupcakes with our new Artisan Mini. From mixing up the batter to making the most amazing fluffy frosting, this stand mixer handled it all with ease.

I LOVE my KitchenAid mixer and this Artisan Mini would’ve be a great addition to my kitchen. It looks way smaller than my current model. I’m sure it’ll last for years as KitchenAid appliances are durable and long lasting. I’ll have to check this out on my next visit to Best Buy

I am absolutely in love with my KirchenAid! Like you, there are very few kitchen essentials that are on my list of must-haves and a KitchenAid® Mixer was number one for the longest time. My husband gifted me mine on my birthday and I was ecstatic to say the least. I am still amazed at how much you can do with these mixers!
I love that this can handle the bigger tasks that would normally require the standard mixer – good to know! For now, we have a TINY kitchen and counter space is limited. This would be wonderful to use until we build so I can still make all of my cookies, cakes and breads without feeling like it’s taking up the entire room. By the way, those cupcakes look super yummy!
The Kitchen Aid Mixer is the most beautiful mixer that I’ve ever seen! It’s something that I have always wanted to buy. Yet, sadly, I have not purchased. But, I will and I MEAN IT! Ye-ah.
You know this is one kitchen appliance I do not have. My sisters have a kitchenaid and they talk about how great this mixer is every time! Those cupcakes look so deliciousssssss. …lol
Awww! it is so pretty and clean. I have a light pink one but it has been loved for many years so it isnt as shiny and new as this one. They are the best mixers hands down! WE use ours a lot!
This is my dream kitchen appliance to have in my home. My other half and I would make so many yummy treats with this blender. My kid would also love to get in on helping us bake with this treasure. I will check it out to see how much it costs at Best Buy.
Oh wow I love the new Mini version. I have the full size version of the Artisan Stand Mixer and I love it. It was the first thing I bought myself when I made my first real money blogging. Sometimes the bigger version is too much so it is nice to have a choice in size.
I would love to get a kitchcen Aid Mixer. I’m not a big baker, but with 5 kids. I think it be more economically smart to make our own bake goods. Hopefully for Christmas I’ll get one.

I’ve seen a few product reviews of this KitchenAid Artisan Mini and I think it is a great appliance for small spaces. I like the red one though. I just got one for my daughter, and I am hoping she’d send some baked goodies she’ll make using that mixer.
I love to bake, that is why I am always looking for a good quality mixer. This Kitchenaid mixer looks so nice because it has a lot of uses. A very helpful kitchen appliance indeed. Maybe i have to try this, when my mixer already needs to be replaced.
That’s an awesome mixer and it would be so nice to have one at home! I love that it’s compact so it doesn’t take too much space!

Ive always wanted a kitchen aid mixer. I used to bake a lot back in the day but if I had one of these I would bake more often. I want a mint green one!

I want a kitchenaid so bad! I’m secretly hoping I get one for Christmas this year!
I love my KitchenAid mixer. If I had a smaller kitchen than I already do, the mini mixer would be absolutely perfect!
This might just be my next me splurge. Does it come in other colors?
Thanks for pointing out that this new, smaller size is great for millenials. It’s also good for boomers who are downsizing, LOL
This sounds like such a fantastic gadget, I love the fact that it is mini, our kitchen isn’t huge so small is perfect.
That is one useful kitchen appliance! I love baking for my little boys, will definitely get my own set!
I am new to cooking and definitely this would be my another must-have. Hopefully I can check this out immediately.

Oh my goodness, the mini looks so perfect! Seriously, I’ve wanted a Kitchenaid mixer in my new house, but the standard one is just too big!
I always wanted a Kitchen Aid but even though how great it was it is just to big for me. I love the smaller version I would defiantly purchase it.

I love my KitchenAid mixer but it is about 4 years old. I have been eyeing the new artisan ones they are so pretty!
