KitchenAid<\/span><\/span> is giving its iconic stand mixer a refresh. The company recently launched the Artisan Plus Stand Mixer, a redesigned model packed with upgrades that home bakers will appreciate — and we had a chance to try it before launch.<\/p>\n The highlights: an integrated LED bowl light that illuminates your ingredients from above, a precision speed dial for more granular control and a soft-start feature that ramps up gradually so flour doesn’t end up on your ceiling the moment you hit the switch.<\/p>\n I took the reimagined Artisan Plus for a spin. While the new features are a welcome upgrade to the premium stand mixer, there’s still one feature we’ve been hoping for that hasn’t arrived yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n The built-in LED light is the first of its kind and my favorite feature.<\/p>\n <\/span>Corin Cesaric-Epple\/CNET<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The 1\/2 speed setting is new to the Artisan Plus.<\/p>\n <\/span>Corin Cesaric-Epple\/CNET<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The Artisan Plus also includes a double-flex edge beater that scrapes the bowl while mixing, a secure-fit pouring shield and stainless steel accessories. If you already own additional KitchenAid stand mixer accessories, don’t fret: They’re compatible with the Artisan Plus Stand Mixer, too.<\/p>\n In a press release, Chad Ries, global head of product, brand and insights at KitchenAid Small Appliances, described the Artisan Plus as “the most premium stand-mixer option in KitchenAid brand history.”<\/p>\n My favorite addition is the built-in LED light that automatically turns on when the tilt head is in the down position. It’s small, but it does a great job illuminating the stainless steel bowl. I especially like that it works automatically, so there’s no need for extra buttons on the sleek design.<\/p>\n Let there be light! \ud83d\udca1 KitchenAid’s legendary stand mixer is getting an upgrade. The standout features include a built-in LED bowl light for a clearer view inside, precision speed control and a soft-start function that prevents ingredients from splattering when mixing begins (who among us hasn’t suffered this fate?). #kitchenaid<\/a> #kitchen<\/a> #kitchenaidmixer<\/a> #standmixer<\/a> #kitchenappliance<\/a> @corin <\/p>\n \u266c so this is love – soft girl aesthetic<\/a> <\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n New features on the Artisan Plus<\/h2>\n
