Amy's Stand Mixer Challenge Part II: KitchenAid Artisan 5 Quart vs. Breville Scraper Mixer Pro 

Amy, thanks for all you do. Because of you, I bought 3 6 Qt kitchen mixers! I gifted 2 of them to my children and one for me! NOW I have a 17 grandson In culinary school and high school, cooks wonderfully for the family, so will buy him his own kitchen aid for graduation! Thank you so so much, have learned so much from you! A grateful grandma 💕

I have the Breville Scraper Mixer Pro. I have owned it for 10 years now. I use it for mixing jobs at least 5 times per week, every week of the year. That’s approximately 260 mixing jobs every year for the past 10 years! = 2600 uses! ...and it’s still going strong in 2021. Does a fantastic job every time. Great respect for the Breville. PS I also love Kenwood.

Amy, Thanks for doing this comparison. It was very helpful.

Thanks for the tips, I bought a kitchenaid recently and I can not wait to get started. A hug here from Brazil

Thank you very informative and I believe unbiased and professional review. Very appreciated 😀

I am a baker with over 20 years experience. My opinion is if you make dough often enough and can afford it, invest in a commercial mixer. You will pay double but will blow these little machines out of the water. Otherwise save your money and knead by hand. These machines are not designed for heavy dough, just enough for a single loaf or a couple pizzas

This was a great challenge video. I, myself, have the KitchenAid tilt head mixer, and yes, it’s a bit annoying when the double batch of bread dough rises up over the attachment, and I have to stop it to push it back down, but it ultimately does kneed pretty nicely. The tilt head also does start to buck a lot, which REALLY unnerves me, but there is also a video, by KitchenAid on how to possibly fix this...which I just tried, and will be making a loaf soon, so, we shall see if the ‘fix’ actually worked. I DO make bread often, so, I may also look into possibly (if I can afford it) getting a bowl lift mixer. Maybe. Thanks again for your review video. It was great. 😌👍🏽👏🏽

video was very informative for me, I have never used or owned a stand mixer and was looking around for top rated products because I am learning to cook/bake and only want to use the best equipment and ingredients, and your video really put the top mixers on the market to the test so thank you for that. I look forward to viewing your other videos to see which mixer is best for me. Thank you Amy, people like me really needed to see this.

Love the Mixer Challenges :)

I ordered mine off of QVC and the scraper cane with it already highly recommend

thank you Amy for the review big love from Morocco

thank you Amy for the review you have made it a lot easier for me to make a choice.

I have a red artisan and like your pinkie i think it works really well. i made a batch of bread dough yesterday and the head was shaking a bit even after i locked it but it works really well and combined it.

Very good video, thank you (from Algeria)

Hello Amy as always nice video!! Just recently, KitchenAid gave us a preview of a newer stand mixer but this newer one is going to be a miniature version of the 5 qt Artisan. They call this new stand mixer the "Mini Artisan" model & it's going to be released sometime in June I think.

melodie I was thinking about buying mixer and thanks for your version of kitchen aid mixer was great now I know what. to check for and what buy. Thank You very much.

Thanks a lot, very helpful video

Great review Amy. Regardless, I love my 6 qt Bowl Lift Stand Mixer.

Great review comparison! Thank you!

Amy, Kitchenaid says that most often climbing up the dough hook indicates that the dough is fully kneaded. Otherwise, Kitchenaid recommends adding 1 T of flour at a time to stop the climbing dough. P.S. I enjoy your videos.

Hi Amy. Thank you for doing a sound comparison. That’s so important to me with my dodgy ears! Breville have a new one out called the Bakery Chef Hub. It has a hub for attachments, although only has 4 attachments so far. I’d love to see a comparison of that one with the KitchenAid if you can.

Ill be getting breville scraper mixer pro soon😍😍😍❤

Kenwood Cooking Chef. Never hesitates on a batch of bread or pizza dough. Never worry about walking away for 20 minute knead and something breaking or overheating. Probably overkill for my needs, but it amazes me how some of these top-dollar mixers cannot perform the basic function they were built for. The kenny can knead bread dough all day long, but I also use it to culture butter and yogurt and cook a mean bolognese. It's strange how little attention is given to Kenwood in the USA, but I guess that's marketing money. Glad to see you openly acknowledged this in your Kenwood review, and yours is limited by the voltage there! 240 volts here makes 1500 watts ;)

Me and my mom have always had a kitchen aid mixer . The artisan to be specific, but we bought a proline mixer ! We love it it's over 1 year old ! We are moving Amy and my kitchen is going down to like 7 cabinets thank goodness I don't have to much .

I have had no issue at all making bread dough in my kitchenaid artisan using 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 cups of flour and never had any issue, especially once I adjusted my attachment heights that stopped all the jumping, I never even have to spend to much time handling my dough after kneading it in the kitchenaid, I just roll it into a ball and put it in a bowl to rise. I think adjusting the attachment position would help fix a lot of the issues noted for the kitchenaid, as I haven't had a single issue making anything with mine once getting the proper height set

I'm concerned about the placement of the cooling grill on the Breville, directly over the bowl. Is it an air inlet or an air exhaust?

Kitchenaid head shaking can be fixed easily. Just lift its head and you will see one adjustable, big screw at the joint. Just tighten it little bit and it will stop shaking. But over the period of time it will come again. This problem is not just with kitchenaid but with all head lift up mixers.

Thanks for doing this comparison Amy. I do mix and knead 2 loaves of bread in my KA 5 qt Artisan mixer and it seems to handle it ok. I just think the C shape dough hooks do not knead as well as the spiral ones.

Kitchenaid did it again! 🙌 Great review Amy!

Me Gusta su Video. Muchas Gracias.

Hi Amy and Eric; I don't get much RU-vid time these days, but when I do it's alway fun to watch your videos. Amython today! Yea! Be Blessed!

Good job, Amy.

Amy, if the quality of the Breville mixer is anything like my Breville toaster, don’t expect it to last. My Chinese made $100 2-slice toaster worked just over two years before the buttons all became inoperative apparently from a circuit board failure. That LED display and countdown timer on the mixer is just another thing to go wrong. I’ll take the old fashioned slider switch on the Kitchen Aid any day. My KA from the late 1990’s is still going strong with weekly bread making and twice monthly cake or cookie making.

THANK YOU AMY

I glad i found you! Love your channel. And I planning to buy a Stand Mixer, your videos help me a lot. What about Kenwood stand mixer?

Thanks For The Review I've Been A Kitchenaid Guy Since I Could Speak, But I was considering the breville but I'm sticking with kitchenaid, I'm hoping for a artisan mini because I have a small kitchen at home, plus I'm 11. PS. Amy I Love Your Videos, I watched the gold touch pan unboxing and added them to my Christmas list! I watch the unboxing reviews and completions

and when i am watching on youtube,cooking show they all got kitchenaid and america's test kitchen crowned the kitchenaid as king of mixers

Great review but with the kitchenaid the flex scraper doesn't come with the machine, or does it now? Back 10 yrs ago the only place i could find it was on amazon. Have you tried the 5qt cuisinart mixer, the one with the timer? I think it came out about 10 yrs ago.

Did you use the metal scrapper in snicker doodle? Because there are two types of paddle of Breville. And what's the difference in using the two paddle of Breville?

I picked up the artisan two days ago and wish I had seen this video before I purchased it

Amazing video... for daily basis dough making from wheat flour, can you please suggest a nice mixer... I am in Australia and found these 3 brands - KitchenAid, Breville and Kenwood

enjoyed watching this video...was looking at getting the breville but will now start looking at a larger machine I think..thanks

This is a fantastic review, it is really refreshing to see a comparison without any bias towards either product and simply reviewed based on performance and a little on personal taste looks wise. Thanks very much, you have made up my mind, I think as I want to bake breads and pizza dough often I think I will have to go with the more expensive bowl lift version $846 ;'( hope it lasts a very long time. Now searching to see if I can find if you did a review of this mixer. :-)

Hi Amy, when you do the cream in the kitchenaid, it seems quite a small recipe. do you know if its meant to be able to fill most of the bowl? i note they advertise as 9 cup flour capacity. Im just wondering if theres a point buying a big mixer that only does a small batch (ie 12 serve cake )

what is the temperature of the oven and how many min. do i need to cook the bread and gow many hours do i need to let the dough to rise

I can get the breville scraper mixer pro for really cheap, half the price of the KitchenAid, so I'm not sure if I should go for it, or just go for some other cheap mixer that isnt breville or wait for the kitchenaid although the dough is very very dry, crumbly dry until kneaded

My question is why you change the bowl for the bread dough with kitchenaid, please tell me why u didn’t use the ceramic bowl

Thank you Amy! I just purchased a 5 qt. 500 pro kitchen aid mixer and love it so far. In your opinion, do you think it can handle 2 loaves of bread? I'm afraid to try and have it shake or ride up off the bowl. I'm new at making bread. It has a 425 motor. Love your videos, Ty

Love my Kitchen Aid! I got it as a gift from my parents when I got my fist apartment 31 yrs ago! It still works great. It is the white and boy do I see the pretty colors and want one ha ha but this is a treasured gift.

im torn between the 6qt professional and the artesan. the 6 wont shake i think by it being a stand alone what do you think.. great review

I love ur vids

Hi Amy love the way the breville look but it shakes could imaging when making dough? :0 I love my kitchen Aid stand up lift mixer thanks great review

I just recently bought a second hand KENWOOD a702 made in the 70's or late 60's I cleaned it up (seemed like it had never been properly cleaned of gunked on food in the mixer body) and it is still a beast. It came with a meat grinder too. Everything is heavy duty. Looks wise it is kind of ugly, but it will probably outlive me.

I'm a die hard kitchen aid fan. I bought mine 20 years ago. it's an ultra power 4.5 qt, white with a red band. I'd originally put it in my trunk as I left Boscov's (local dept store) with it but turned off the car to retrieve it from the trunk so that it could ride in the front seat with me. I don't imagine I'll ever part with it except to give it to my daughter. I really want an 8 qt commercial one though.

Hi Amy, I meant to say it's a 5 plus professional KA mixer. I would like your opinion , wondering if I could make 2 loaves of bread without having a problem. Motor is 425. Thank you for sharing your videos, love them

Amy have you compared the kitchenaid pro vs kenwood chef titanium?

Awesome review! I am learning to cook too. I love your white bowl, where did you get that one? I see others, but there not the same.

What a great video! I'm a big bread baker, but I also want something that can do it all. Due to your conclusion what do you recommend as a stand mixer that is GREAT for dough kneading?

any insight into whether I could use a Kitchenaid glass bowl for the breville mixer?

Do you think the Breville BEM820CB Scraper Mixer Twin Food Mixer is better for dough??

This is exactly what I wanted to see, THANKS HEAPS. btw, Pasturised eggs, are the eggs so old in the US they have to pasturise them before selling? Quite a bizarre concept from an Australian point of view.

I have a 25 + year old Artisan mixer. I am not a huge baker, but use it often enough. It is starting to sound a bit rough and I am going to look into having it serviced. Thought I might want a new mixer so started looking at reviews and had just about landed on the Breville, so wanted to see my existing mixer go head to head with it. After watching this, I also continued to research and wanted to know where they were made. Kitchen Aid is made in Ohio/USA and Breville although designed and engineered in Australia is made in China. So I will stick with a Kitchen Aid when and if I need a new stand mixer.

I found the dough hook would not gather the dough on my six cups whole wheat recipe and I returned it to the store as I have an old braun mixer that handles it ok. Making one loaf is not worth it.

Question : Hi Amy … Do you have any info on where I can purchase the Breville Bakery Chef …I cannot find it anywhere … What has happened to this mixer …All searches say dobt know when or if they will ever be back in stock ?!

Great review Amy I love these. I still think that the kitchenaid is the one. The Breville mixer is certainly quieter though, but I don't like hoe it shakes and it doesn't scrape the bowl.

Hi Amy, did you ever tested the sunbeam planetary mixmaster? with 6 speed and the 600 watt motor.

I think the kitchenaid is sexy. They have many colors if not sold out on qvc. You need the industrial for a big batch. The artisan stand mixer is one you make one loaf. For people who only make one loaf at a time. I love kitchenbaid.

The Breville 👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

great demonstration! When you show that the Kitchenmaid shakes during the cookie dough demo, did you have the lock feature on? I find my artisan kitchenmaid shakes during a variety of mixing doughs (cookies, doughs, cakes); however, if i use the lock feature, the shaking is dramatically reduced.

Seems like you should use a higher speed to mix dough. Especially when you hear the motor grind you need to give it more power. Also, I find if you use the back of the knife when leveling off ingredients then you get a more accurate measure.

what should i get breville or kitchenaid?

Probably on a stirr speed is the best + a bit of hydration is missing Overall never have the problems you do.

You should try out the Wilfa Probaker - A Norwegian stand mixer. It is very interesting.

did you know when bakery boss is out in philippines

What mixer do you use for your bread making

Hey Amy. I've been watching your channel quite a bit, especially with the stand mixer challenges. One mixer though that I haven't seen you feature in a challenge is the Hamilton Beach Eclectrics stand mixer. I have read a few reviews on it but haven't been able to locate an actual customer video type review of it. I would immensely grateful if you could get one, since you are so into mixers, and have a challenge where it would be pitted against the Kitchenaid Artisan as you did in this video with the Breville. My favorite colors are the Licorice (black) and Sugar (white). I've been looking at it as an inexpensive mixer I can buy when I go off to university. I currently have a Cuisinart SM-70BC 7 quart mixer at home and love it. So if you could feature the Hamilton Beach Eclectrics mixer I would be very happy. Thank you.

woooo hoooo bring on the challenge

hey amy im planning to get a new mixer but i saw the new bakery boss from breville should i get breville or kitchenaid

Breville manual says the rocking is due to using the scraper mixer blade on thick stuff - its for light stuff, use different blade they say

Which mixer is the best at creaming butter?

The ceramic pot is certainly much heavier than the stainless steel pot? Or? Greetings from Spain.

I just want to know what mixer can handle wholewheat dough?

I love the pink! What did you pay for the white bowl?

which was your pic between the classic and the artisan?

also, I wonder if you've watched America's test kitchens latest mixer testing video. the breville was tested as I recall, and it died after repeated bread doughs.

The silver one sounded better

I noticed you didn’t use a spoon to add flour to your measuring cup...I have always heard that flour needed to be measured this way to be sure you have the appropriate amount of flour. Is this true or false?

Do you have any attachments for the hub on the kitchen aid

because i saw on internet the new bakery boss have 1200 watts and much new design and little light on the head

I ❤️ Ankarsrum. 😉

Good video but she is a very rough kind of person handling the machine. May be she did a good toughness test. Hopefully everything done without bias. But why she removed the cover while the machine is working. But what machine you recommended apart all this machine.

I am willing to bet that that isn't grease in your dough from the KA. I got a brand new one as well and the steal bowl has some sort of residue in it that has to be cleaned with lemon juice, or vinegar. The first time I used mine I only cleaned it with soap and water and I was getting grey/black stuff in my dough. After doing research I found out it was from the bowl. After cleaning it with a scrub sponge and lemon juice it didn't do it anymore.

I preferred the Breville...but I think too much flour for both mixers and the recipe...the dough looked too stiff to me...thanks!

I was hoping you could just film the window test so we can easily see which mixer can actually kneed.

Yo Amy nice videos! When the next giveaway at? I be waiting... I subscribed 🤗🤗

Hi !please help me i want buy one good one mixer to do bread... Please let me known good one thank you!

I have had a Kitchenaide for more than 30 years. I love it, but I do not think that any of the mixers are built for kneading dough. I have the tilt head, but I would love to have the bowl lift. I have all the Kitchenaid appliances and swear by all of them. When it comes to kneading dough I think you need a much stronger motor.

I think the problem with the dough kneading is two things, or at least I would do two things different. The speed on the the Breville was way too low, and the dough is too stiff. I think higher speed and a softer dough would create a much better kneading action. Not that I think planetary mixers are good dough kneaders, they are definately not compared to good old Bosch. But to get a good knead in a planetary, the dough needs some serious violent handling. I do think the Breville would jump off the counter at higher speeds. I sort of remember seing some tests done of that mixer, and it would jump everywhere. The Kitchenaid, yes, the dough again was too stiff and the speed too low. But that dough moving over the hook would most likely not improve with higher speed. Because I had a Hotpoint mixer, and it used Kitchenaid whisk, beater, dough hook and splash guard (or at least it was exactly similar), and my dough always come over the hook and almost ended out of the bowl and on the floor. Speed did not improve on that. I did make even larger doughs, way over the max limit. But it did never do a good kneading job. Not worse than Kitchenaid and Breville, just the same. And that is way too bad. I'm a bread baker, and not a frequent cake baker, so I did struggle every time with my planetary mixer, and made a mess everywhere. No wonder I bought a Bosch instead. Which is pure hallelujah for bread compared to planetary mixers. But Bosch Universal Plus is not the best cake baker. The bowl is really big, it has no handle (I have the steel bowl, and there is nothing to grip on to), and it has that center pole which make it more difficult to get things out of the bowl. It is lots of work to clean that big bowl, and in Europe we don't have the cake baking accessories you have in America, like the scraper attachment and the cake and cookie paddles. So I have to either use the whisks or the dough hook to make cake, and hand scrape the bowl. No, a planetary is better for single batches of cakes, in my opinion. At least easier to clean. For those big batches of cakes and cookies, and with your American attachments, I guess the Bosch is better. I can't wait to see your review on your newest Breville purchase! I tried to google Breville Bakery Chef, but could not find that it is available in my country. But suddenly I found Sage Bakery Boss (which seems to be their newest model). Hmm, sounds similar, and looked similar by the picture. Yes, I discovered that we have the Breville mixers under the name of Sage (which I think is a UK brand). Breville are probably sold as Sage mixers in all of Europe. So if other Europeans try to find Breville, search for Sage instead. It is annoying that they keep changing name everywhere. We have Bjørn Teddy, Varimixer Teddy and Alexanderwerk. Maybe the Bjørn Teddy mixer is sold under even more names, that is just the three I know of. When are you going to put a Bjørn/Varimixer/Alexanderwerk Teddy to the test? Never heard of it? Well, they say it is the best stand mixer. And it is not cheap. Well, worth the money, the Danish people say. But here you have it: varimixer.com/produkt/teddy/

Do you think the kitchenaid would of been quieter if the metal bowl would of been used?

I dont know if you have a video Kitchen Aid vrs Cuisinart stand mixers, I love the Cusinart disign
