What new features does the KitchenAid Artisan Plus have?

KitchenAid has redesigned several features for the new Artisan Plus mixer, with a focus on precision and ease of use.

The headline feature is the integrated LED bowl light, making this the first KitchenAid stand mixer with built-in illumination. Positioned above the bowl, the light helps improve visibility while mixing, particularly useful when working with delicate batters, doughs or intricate bakes.

The mixer also introduces two speed control modes. You can either select from 11 preset speeds or use the new Precision Speed Control dial to smoothly adjust speed levels for more accurate texture control.

There's also a new ½ Fold Speed setting, specifically designed for gently incorporating delicate ingredients like whipped egg whites, blueberries or folded cake batters without overmixing.

KitchenAid has also added a Soft Start feature which gradually builds speed to help minimise splatters when mixing begins.

The 4.7L stainless steel bowl has been redesigned too, now featuring a precision welded handle and dishwasher-safe construction.

What accessories come with the KitchenAid Artisan Plus?

The new KitchenAid Artisan Plus comes with a redesigned set of stainless steel accessories, including a dough hook, wire whisk and flat beater.

The standout addition is the new double flex-edge beater, which features silicone edges designed to scrape the sides of the bowl while mixing. This helps ingredients incorporate more evenly without needing to stop and scrape the bowl manually.

All accessories are dishwasher-safe, rust-resistant and designed for everyday use.

Like other KitchenAid stand mixers, the Artisan Plus is also compatible with the brand's wide range of optional attachments, including pasta rollers, food grinders and vegetable spiralizers.

What colours is the KitchenAid Artisan Plus available in?

KitchenAid has launched the Artisan Plus in five brand new shades: Sun Dried Tomato, Oat, Mint Julep, Wild Blueberry and Iron Ore.

These join six existing KitchenAid favourites including Porcelain White, Juniper, Medallion Silver, Feather Pink, Cast Iron Black and Pebbled Palm.

As always with KitchenAid, the colour range feels just as much part of the appeal as the functionality, whether you prefer bold statement shades or more neutral tones.

It also comes with a five-year warranty, alongside a 15-year repairability guarantee and long-term spare parts availability.

Whether you're a long-time KitchenAid fan or looking to invest in your first stand mixer, the new Artisan Plus looks set to become one of the brand's most exciting launches in years.
