***UPDATE: America's Test Kitchen stated that KitchenAid Mixers for dough is no longer recommended - here is what America's Test Kitchen had to say: "Recently, KitchenAid has advised owners of all of its stand mixers not to exceed speed 2 when kneading dough with the dough hook, not to knead for more than 2 minutes at a time, and that the total mixing and kneading time should not exceed 4 to 6 minutes. This is a concern. For years, recipes have called for much longer kneading times and higher speeds. We heard from readers that kneading longer has damaged at least one new KitchenAid stand mixer. With KitchenAid now insisting consumers use its mixers gently to protect their motors, we feel concerned about their durability and unsuitability for many bread recipes. Our conclusion? If you plan to knead lots of bread and pizza dough, consider the Ankarsrum; it sets no such limits." When you're ready to upgrade, we'll ship your mixer for free!

*That Test Kitchen is Joke, and so is Ankarsrum. I had an Ankarsrum for a short while and it an over engineered plastic POS...It doesn't actually mix the bread dough, it just squeezes it between the bowl and rotator. Takes FOREVER to make bread dough. Clean up with the Ankarsrum was also a MAJOR PITA.. I sold it cheap at a yard sale, took the money and bought a Kitchen Aid 6500. I use the KA at least once a week to make bread, with kneading times as long as 15-20 minutes and have never had a problem. After nearly a decade, My only complaint about the KA is I had to replace the switch, which is a 10 minute job with a $30 part, purchased on Amazon.*

This is inaccurate - America's Test Kitchen still highly recommends several versions of KitchenAid mixers. ATK does NOT say KitchenAid "is no longer recommended". These new time restrictions are not listed in KitchenAid user manuals, and the company already seems to be walking them back due to all the backlash. Ankarsrum is great, but so is KitchenAid.

I have a 19 year old KitchenAid that was a wedding gift. I have used it for many cookies, cakes, frosting batches, cupcakes and more. A few years ago my husband had to rebuild the gears and repack the grease when it broke down. I've started making sourdough bread, but I don't use the KitchenAid for that dough; I make it by hand. Now that I know about the Ankarstrum, I would have replaced it with that instead. The open bowl and gentle dough kneading is very enticing. Maybe for my 20th anniversary?

As a lifelong, professional cook (since 1972), I’m solely after both quality AND quantity. BEING a professional cook, I can attest to the fact that a “touch” is required for the absolute BEST result, therefore I gotta go with the Ank. I’ve owned KA mixers (for my home) for years. I’ve found that sometimes the harsh cutting action of the hook against the bowl leaves a less than desirable outcome for SOME projects, notably a silky pizza dough. It goes from a bit grainy to overmixed, easily, in my 6 qt KitchenAid. Don’t get me wrong, the KA mixer is REALLY nice, but for the discriminating pro, I think that there are better options. PLUS the warrantee. You pay your coins and, in this case, you definitely get what you paid for. Just to let everyone know, I happened upon this video while finalizing my decision to by the Anks..

I actually have both. My Kitchenaid is 50 years old and was made by Hobart, the industrial kitchen supplier, before they sold their home unit business to Whirlpool, who made the mixers with lighter weight motors. But I bought a Ankersrum to use in our much smaller second home kitchen, because I didn’t want the flour mess that the Kitchenaid has always thrown with every use. Very happy with my choice. It is very compact and tidy to use, very powerful, and does everything I need.

I too have an older Kitchenaid made by Hobart. It has to be over 40 years old now that I think about it. It's built like a tank and has never let me down even when I overload the thing for pizza dough. Then, a few years ago I bought a larger version (mione was a 5 quart machine). This new one was made by Whirlpool. It fell apart after a couple of years. The head mechanism started shedding black dust and then just fell out f the machine. Fortunately, Bed Bath and Beyond actually took it back. Today I ordered an Ankarsrum. This after a very long time studying and reading the reviews. I was going to buy a 10 quart commercial mixer (Omcan), but there's no room for it in my kitchen. Hopefully the Ankarsrum doesn't disappoint. We'll see. If it does, I'll send it back and just keep going with my old Kitchenaid.

I grew up using what is now called Ankarsrum. Back in the early 70s my mum owned one and it was called an Electrolux mixer. I cannot rave enough about that kitchen assistant. It did everything just as perfectly as this video represents. Never gave an ounce of trouble, back then when things were built to last of course. In fact it was not until around the year 2000 that we needed to change the rubbers on the paddle. And that was the only problem. In our home my husband insisted on a Kitchen Aid, but always says we should have bought an Ankarsrum. The Electrolux is still around and still gets used. Just with a little bit of effort to keep the paddle against the rim.

I don't think this is a good demo of either product. The dough made in both mixers looked very dry that's why the cinnamon buns were so crumbly and stale looking. He added "flour" until the dough was sufficiently hydrated which makes no sense. You use water to achieve the desired hydration, not flour because it makes the dough denser and stiffer. That's why you can see in parts of the video even the ank couldn't kneed the dough and the bowl was spinning with nothing happening. Regardless, the recipes dictate hydration levels not you "looking" at dough. There were so many things done wrong here I don't think this guy has ever made bread before. Or just doesn't know how to do it correctly. I'm no pro baker but I've been making bread for years and this guy has no clue how to make bread dough. Especially enriched dough like cinnamon buns. And adding ingredients would be easy if you just do it before attaching the bowl! I seriously doubt he's a chef and I know he's definitely not a bread baker

With all due respect, the concept is different with the Ankarsrum-breads start with the liquids first. I do agree about adding ingredients before the attachments but not all ingredients go into the bowl simultaneously with the Ankarsrum. And unless you’re in an environment that has controlled ambient conditions, hydration levels WILL vary somewhat, regardless of the recipe. I recently watched a professional focaccia baker in Italy (Genoa?) confirm this in a KZitem video; his bakery isn’t one with static ambient conditions.

@@HotVoodooWitch the problem in this review isn’t even the process. The order you add ingredients doesn’t matter all that much (though baker’s percentages are relative to the mass of flour in the recipe so typically you start with fixed flour and vary the water). The major issue was that the dough for the cinnamon rolls was way under hydrated resulting in both batches looking quite dry and brittle. It’s funny because the Ankarsrum does extremely well with high hydration doughs while the KA is mediocre at it.

Kitchenaid had some beautiful colors in last years models which cannot be found anymore. I have not bought a mixer due to their new faded colors which I detest. Colors make a difference! The specs on the Ankar are double the Kitchenaid. I think this is a good machine! I would have liked to see a comparison of meat grinding on both for speed and continuity.

Definitely go for the Ankarsrum. I bought a KitchenAid Pro 600 about 10yrs ago during a Black Friday sale and while it has served me well, it does struggle on bread doughs like brioche that requires a lot of butter. I had the Ank on my wishlist for many years and when my KA started acting up on tough jobs, I finally went for the Ank. It is a powerful beast and you will not regret it especially for bread doughs. My KA still works so I will keep it for cakes or some cookies. The Ank is expensive, but like many cheap equipments, you end up paying more by replacing them. I hope you get yours soon. If you're ready to buy, don't bother waiting for a sale as these hardly go on sale. Although Pleasant Hill Grain currently has a special for store credit. Until recently, the price has remained the same for the past 10 years.

They demonstrate the Ankarsrum’s unique concept. Once you understand it, the learning curve is painless. Yeasted doughs start with the liquids and other stuff first, then half the called-for flour, then the yeast, then the gradual addition of more flour until you get a visual cue that lets you know if it’s enough flour (which might be less than the recipe states). It’s brilliant and makes fabulous breads. Again, watch the videos.

I was frustrated at my attempt to make chocolate chip cookies in my Ankarsrum. I saw that your recipe included oil and that made sense to me because it looked much softer than a Tollhouse cookie dough. You can't cream butter in the large stainless bowl so you are supposed to move to the bigger bowl after creaming the butter and sugar. Still I couldn't get it to mix at all. I gave up and used my KA hand mixer which was hard on it but it managed much more efficiently than the Ankarsrum. That said I was frustrated with every attempt to make bread in my KA mixer. The dough climbed the hook, it climbed out of the bowl, it was a nightmare. I now I have three mixers and I love them all. I have the KA mini but the large one just isn't great with small batches. I have the Ankarsrum for my bread and I adore it. And finally I own the humble Bosch Universal which works great for large batches of either bread, cookies or cake. No one mixer does it all. Please don't waste your money on the blender attachment. The cheapest blender you can find on Amazon would work better than the Ankarsrum blender. It wasn't engineered for blending. The food processors aren't going to work as well as a dedicated food processor either.

HotVoodooWitch--I rarely use the smaller bowl with either the whips or beaters (usually because the SS bowl is in use). I too use mine with the spatula & roller set up for cakes, cookies, frostings, whipping creams, breads (before which I use an Ank attachment and grind the flour from wheat berries). The SS bowl w/spatula & roller works perfectly for even small batches, I think it whips, beats, mixes and kneads in a superior manner. I believe in some countries they do not sell the dough hook, that it was made more for the US market. It is just a great product. (I do have the same KitchenAid they demo'd, but it is in a box in the garage. I keep thinking I should give it away, but just can't.)

I today use a Teddy Bjørn Varimixer - and the guessing work is gone. Gluten formation to extreme levels and nearly no cleaning. It just mixes, kneads and whisks so well. The machine is the beast I always wanted - but with only 300 W (they must have imbued it with dark magic - because it is a SILENT BEAST) and a very low noise level. Sadly the price was not as low. But well worth the 1.000 $ with no accessories :) I once attended a baking masterclass with a pro artisan baker. We used these Varimixers and it was just like a game - an easy one. He told me that at home he uses an ANKARSRUM. The mixer that I still cannot get to make good doughs. It takes a long time and with bad results. Perhaps a pro knowing the ins and outs of dough find it inspirational to have a clear view into the dough and mixing all sunday celebrating his love for dough on this machine - and know when to do what and so on. I don't know. I never solved the mystery. I have a lot of the accessories too. But I have bought specialiced machines for most of it now - or do it manually. I can't get my head around how the Ankarsrum could be a good machine at all. Frankly. But I know competent people who claim they get good results. I am puzzled. On second hand webpages I see a lot of Ankarsrum being for sale after less than a year of ownership. Most often saying "Use it too little", "Have no time for baking". I more or less felt the same way after the first many uses......but I did not want to give up. But now more than 10 years after........it is still no good. Strange.

Cinnamon rolls should be a bit more moist and stretchy with some air holes. Those both broke like they didn’t raise at all or too much flour. I have the smaller KA and it makes great dough. I love my KA pasta roller/cutter. The Ank is interesting and I like that you can add ingredients unencumbered. I have the flimsy pouring shield for the KA but I still have to stop the motor, unlock the head and lift the head just to scrape the sides of the bowl. That is an aggravating safety feature that hinders the use of the machine. It’s a keeper though! Thanks for a fair demo!

I have both, but have not completed the "learning curve" of the Ankarsrum mixer - it can do SO MUCH! I started with the KA, so I'm quite accustomed to it, but I'm having bizarre issues with the attachments: I've used the pasta maker, pasta cutters and dies, and the food shredders many times but, now, none of them will even fit in the attachment hub anymore! I tried calling KA headquarters and they were about as helpful as a screen door on a submarine. I also took it to a licensed repair shop, but their explanation for the problem was just silly. I've gotta complete that And learning curve, soon!

1 year warranty is very good to have when buying Kitchen Aid. It needs aid after just a few hours of running when plastic wheels needs replacement and what not. After the first year have passed you can replace these parts yourself, they are around 30 € and takes about an hour to replace.

I have an Ankarsrum mixer that I am really happy with. There is a learning curve but it’s not huge. So far, it’s been add liquids before adding dry ingredients; in the plastic bowl, be sure to use softened butter and keep an eye on cream you’re whipping because it will turn to butter really fast. I’ve used it with the roller to make a variety of breads and they have all turned out really well. I used to have a less powerful Kitchenaid because of limited height for storage and the Ank fits in easily because the motor is in the base. It also doesn’t “walk” while it mixes and is so quiet! I can easily monitor the consistency of the dough because of the open design. My kids laughed when I told my husband I wanted it for Christmas but, after 50 years of marriage, he knows me well. This Ank has brought me a lot of joy!

like others we've had Kitchen Aid mixers for over 50 years with out a problem. One friend who bakes constantly wore out a gear after many years of running her dough batches at high speed. She gave us her unit and I replaced the gear for about $20 and an hour of time. It's been running perfectly ever since. To one commenter below, I always mix my water and flour by hand (about 30 seconds) until the flour gets wet. Then when I turn on the mixer there is no flour dust coming from the mixer. After reading several comparisons it seems the Ankarsrum is great if you reeeeally mix a lot of dough. Otherwise the much cheaper price, simplicity (and durability) of the Kitchen Aid will be a more sensible choice for most people.

I know you are a chef but I feel you were biased. 1. The pouring is just there, it's not a necessity. Lots of bakers ignore it. 2. You are supposed to scrape down your bowl when mixing frosting. 3. This is the most important, in regards to the Cinnamon rolls. Firstly, you added the wet ingredients then added the dry, that would enable you to better control the flour to liquid ratio where as with the KitchenAid you added the wet ingredients to the flour, it may not seem like a big deal, but it is as a result of the flour not being slowly mixed into the liquid the mixture becomes dry and lacks hydration. Secondly, you kneaded the dough in the ank for 12 minutes, if you kneaded the dough as long on the kitchen aid you over kneaded a under hydrated dough. Lastly, in relation to kneading. There is no way that the ank developed the gluten in the cinnamon rolls. If you were to knead cinnamon rolls on had you would essentially do the same thing the that the KitchenAid is doing, breaking down the dough with the palm of your hand. But don't take my word for it I just bake for a living but I'm not a chef. I just do pastries and work with yeast, and flour every day.

The cinnamon rolls from both mixers looked super dry and brittle to me. The dough was waaaay too dry, looked almost like bagel dough to me. The funny part for me is he compared them in a situation where the Kitchenaid actually slightly edges out the Ankarsrum, low hydration doughs. They take forever to come together in Ankarsrum whereas a KA can get them to a useable state in like half the time. I think the main differences in the results came down to lower hydration of the KA cinnamon rolls (again both of them looked too dry). Where the Ankarsrum really excels is in high hydration doughs. It kneads them very evenly while the Kitchenaid can struggle since the dough won’t pull away from the bottom of the bowl while simultaneously climbing the dough hook and not being worked much at all. You can usually work around this by running at a higher speed intermittently so it’s not unusable but it’s not as effortless as the Ankarsrum. Of course you don’t actually need to knead high hydration doughs all that much as the gluten will form on its own with a few stretch and folds during the bulk ferment.

My mother tried the Ank and was disappointed for what it did for the price. Returned for a refund. I had the Pro 600 for years and hated it because it is underpowered, noisy and got very hot when mixing heavy doughs. I would get a headache when using it for prolonged periods because it screams like a banshee. Then I saw the KitchenAid 7 qt beast at the store and asked them to turn it on. Bought it right away based on the sound. It is quiet, powerful and I have not gotten it more than barely warm, even when mixing tough bagel and pasta doughs. As for the advice in this video, I would prefer if someone more professional was doing it. My bread baking floundered until I got a precision scale and learned proper dough manipulation for gluten buildup. Baking is a precision endeavor. Adding flour by eye does not instill confidence in the baking skills of the reviewer.

Hmmm. I have an old KA Classic, a Pro 600, a Proline 7qt (beast of a machine - DC MOTOR ONLY) and a Bosh. For bread it is the Bosh hands down! For everything else I use the KA with the scraper beater. The two smaller KA machines are YEARS old with absolutely no problems. But in that 7qt proline OMG I have made huge batches of cookies, cakes, with some heavy ingredients, shredded chicken, beef, pork, “cooked in the instant pot “ and the thing laughed! But for bread - the Bosh for me. Extremely large quantities of high quality breads and no learning curve. The scraper beater is a game changer for the KA. I hate stopping and scraping the side of the bowl or the bottom. But, get the flexible rubber tips not the hard tips. All that said, if the KA 7qt (DC Motor) dies, then I will look at the Ank. However, it hasn’t even broken a sweat to date so that could be a long time for that purchase.

I had an Ank for going on 9 years of heavy use before the motor started making a grinding noise. I replaced it with a KA 8 Qt Commercial. Don't get me wrong, the Ank is a very well made machine with all European Parts not Chinese like the KA however...The Ank is a hands on machine for sure. Try making 3 lbs of bagel dough at once and you will be manhandling the machine to get it kneaded and feel like you went 10 rounds with the champ. Also if the dough isn't of a consistency within a certain range the dough just wraps itself around the roller and does nothing. You need to physically use a big spoon to push it off over and over. Talk about flour going all over the place, the Ank is open with no shield so flour will fly and for cakes and such the beaters and their holders are flimsy and plastic and all you need is a small piece of hard brown sugar and the beaters skip over it and too much of that and you risk breaking the beater assembly .Yes the Ank is designed as a bread machine first. Yes the KA (in my case) is an 8 Qt so a really small recipe ain't the best combo but that's why I bought a 5 Qt Bowl with it so I have the option. The Ank has one smaller bowl and that's it. Wanna make a large cake? Good luck. Wanna bake cookies with the Ank? It better be a soft dough to use the beaters otherwise you need to use the roller or you will break those flimsy beaters. I never liked using the roller for stiff cookie dough though it does work. yea it's got a timer but you should NEVER leave a mixer running and walk away or it just might walk by itself. The Ank is very stable but a good stiff dough and it will move. At this point I have found the KA superior to the Ank as far as results go. I have no doubt the build quality of the Ank is better but I'm getting too old to play with the dough. The Ank was designed around WWll time and it's just an old dated design which in theory should provide a better result but personally I don't see it.

The white dough roller gently kneads dough, mimicking the work of your hands. The white roller can be used in any dough-making application whether high or low hydration dough.

Hey @DEVILSNEMISIS4, thanks for the comment! The Ank and the Bosch are both great mixers. In terms of quality, I'd say the Ankarsrum is better - the whole body is metal compared to the plastic body of the Bosch. The motor on the Ank also feels a bit more hefty than the Bosch as well. However, there is a learning curve to the Ank, the Bosh is a bit easier to use (after only using typical style stand mixers like KitchenAid). The Bosch is also considerably lighter than the Ankarsrum if moving a heavy appliance from place to place is a concern.

I have a KitchenAid Artisan. I make 2 loaves of regular white bread per week. The machine from the very first, sounded as though it were straining and it got rather warm. I've had the KA for less than a year and the last time I used it, I saw a black spot in the dough. after removing the dough hook, I noticed black "oil/grease" on the mixing shaft. The only reason I bought the thing was because of KA's reputation of producing quality mixers. I am very disappointed in the machine. Seems it should have lasted longer than a year, only being used to make 2 loaves per week. I am calling KA on Monday to seek remedy for this problem. At this point, I would definitely NOT recommend KitchenAid.

This video is a bit embarrassing - both doughs looked dry and brittle and it looked like the chef didn't know how to use either machine. You don't really need the pouring shield with the KitchenAid, and even using the shield the chef still seemed to get ingredients everywhere. With the Ank, he didn't seem to know how to set the arm to knead properly. And when testing side by side you should use set amounts of ingredients, not judge the amount of flour by eye differently for each machine. Both mixers needed scraping down for the frosting, but the chef apparently didn't fully scrape the KitchenAid and then blamed the mixer. There are many more issues with this review but suffice it to say, the review seemed designed to highlight the Ank. It's a great machine, especially for bread, but it has some drawbacks other than the learning curve. Multiple bowls to store and odd bowl shapes to clean. Fully plastic gears on the beaters and hub of the Ank which always seems to be ignored in reviews like this. Bowls that are limited unlike the KitchenAid which can go from being used over a bain marie directly to mixing ingredients. And the KitchenAid can handle cold butter easily while the Ank cannot - how is that not a durability issue? Both machines have pros and cons, but I have yet to see a real side by side review that isn't designed to favor one machine or the other. They are both excellent machines that can be a workhorse for any home cook.

The dough hook should not be going back and forth. It should be set just far enough from the edge for the dough to move through without moving the arm.

I disagree. If you get a KitchenAid, expect to be disappointed. Unless they make them better as of late. Which I doubt.

I always use common sense when using my kitchenaid. Of course you don't knead the dough for 12 minutes!!! 2 or 3 minutes at a time is good enough, and not for 12 minutes. My rolls and breads come out perfect every time.
