KitchenAid is giving its iconic stand mixer a major technological leap. Launching March 30, the new Artisan Plus Stand Mixer reimagines the Tilt-Head category with a focus on precision, control, and clarity, features home bakers have been asking for but have never had in a KitchenAid model at this level.

At the core of the upgrade is a refined speed system that offers both precision speed adjustment and 11 preset speeds, including two firsts for the brand. The Soft Start mode eases the mixer into motion to reduce splatter and a ½-Fold speed engineered to gently incorporate delicate ingredients. The result is a mixer that responds more like a professional tool, allowing cooks to hit exact textures with less guesswork.

Another major step forward is visibility. The Artisan Plus introduces KitchenAid’s first integrated LED bowl light, illuminating ingredients as they mix so users can assess consistency in real time. Paired with the new Double Flex Edge Beater, which continuously scrapes the bowl’s sides, the mixer minimizes interruptions and maximizes accuracy.

The build is sturdy with dishwasher-safe stainless steel accessories and full compatibility with the brand’s attachment system from pasta rollers to ice-cream makers. Aesthetics also get a refresh, with four exclusive new beautiful finishes including Sundried Tomato and Wild Blueberry in a textured crinkle coat, plus the metallic Iron Ore Bronze and soft-satin Oat, alongside 11 returning favorites.

Available nationwide March 30 for $599.99, the Artisan Plus aims to set a new benchmark for home mixing performance while staying true to the classic KitchenAid form that has anchored kitchens for generations. Purchase at https://www.kitchenaid.com.
