Difference Between Bowl-lift vs Tilt-head Stand Mixer

TILT-HEAD VS. BOWL-LIFT STAND MIXER FEATURES

BOWL LIFT VS. TILT HEAD: WHAT’S BETTER?

Both bowl setups feature the same specialized accessories so you can whip, beat, knead and more. They also work with other accessories like the Flex Edge Beaters, which are designed to scrape the bowl while mixing, pouring shields to help prevent spills and bowl covers to store what you make right in the bowl without transferring to tupperware. 

Furthermore, both are compatible with all stand mixer power hub attachments². These help turn your stand mixer into a meat grinder or lets you puree fruits, spiralize vegetables and more.

WHY CHOOSE A KITCHENAID® TILT-HEAD STAND MIXER?

CHOOSE A TILT-HEAD STAND MIXER IF:

• You’ll mostly make recipes for yourself and your household.
• Colour is important to you; tilt-head models have over 19+ options to choose from.
• You want to change up your decor for seasons, holidays, or just because; you can swap out 14+ bowls in different colours, finishes and patterns.
• You live in an apartment, have limited counter space, or need to store your stand mixer in a pantry or cabinet; choose a mini for an even more compact option.
• You want to store your stand mixer under the kitchen cabinets.

The largest capacity and most popular KitchenAid® tilt-head model is the Artisan^® Series 5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer. This model offers the widest palette of colours and comes with a polished stainless bowl with a handle for additional convenience. You can also use the Customization Tool with this option to choose your colour then bundle with your ideal bowl, accessories and attachments. The customization tool also lets you add a free engraving to your mixer with a special phrase, date or other message to personalize the mixer for yourself or a loved one.

With a slightly smaller bowl, the KitchenAid^® 4.5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer can handle up to 8 dozen cookies and comes in a range of hues. If your kitchen space is limited, the Artisan^® Mini 3.5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer is smaller while still offering the same power as the KitchenAid® Classic™ Series Stand Mixer.

WHY CHOOSE A KITCHENAID® BOWL-LIFT STAND MIXER?

If you often make large batches or mix heavy bread dough you might want to choose a KitchenAid^® bowl-lift stand mixer. This line offers larger capacity options and provides more power for thick or heavy mixtures. This heavy-duty stand mixer weighs more than tilt-head models to provide extra stability. To avoid carrying it back and forth, you’ll want to make sure you have enough countertop space for storage when not in use.
