KitchenAid Mixer Dimensions

KitchenAid Mixer Dimensions

This article will discuss the dimensions of a KitchenAid mixer. The electrical kitchen appliance is popular for its unique bowls that can be fitted to churn, knead and mix ingredients in. A key part of the motorized device is the stand itself which can rotate during use to accommodate different bowl sizes. This article will detail any additional parts as well as give an overview of measurements and capacities so that you know what your mixer might have or not have before purchasing it. Let’s dive in!

A KitchenAid mixer has a body length, width and height measured in inches or centimeters (mm). The body of a KitchenAid mixer has a 100% service factor because the motor, bowl and attached attachments all seem to fit nicely inside. The width is around 16.5” and the height is around 11”. The following pictures show the dimensions of a KitchenAid electric mixer:

The most important piece of information in this article is the number of quarts, or liters that can be mixed on or within the mixer. This information also helps you to determine how much mixing may be accomplished in an hour by mixing 1 pint at a time. The more gallons you can mix at once, the faster your final result will be compared to conventional batching operations.

The KitchenAid mixer dimensions that are used to determine the amount of taste per hour are as follows:

Bowls vary in size and capacity. Some bowls have a 3 qt capacity where others may be 5 qt or more. There is also 8 quart and 10 quart bowl assemblies available for purchase. The following picture shows a 5 qt bowl attached to a mixer motor base:

The bowl diameter is approximately 10”. You can see the model number on one side of the bowl. This number identifies whether the bowl was made before or after a design change occurred in 2006 (yes, they still make them).

The following dimensions of a KitchenAid mixer approximate whether a bowl is pre-2006 or post-2006. The first number, 10.25”, indicates the diameter of the bowl. The second number, 8.5”, indicates the depth of the base plate (in some cases).

This article will provide examples for the following mixer models:

The illustrations show a pre-2006 bowl and a post-2006 bowl which are both 8 quart bowls with an electrical motor that operates at 1100 watts (referred to in this article as “model M”). The pictures also indicate that there is 1” base plate at a depth of 5.25”. The characteristics of each bowl are as follows:

The following dimensions for the Kitchen Aid Mixer determine the capacity and weight of each bowl with a motor that operates at 1100 watts. This is referred to as model H in this article:

The motor has a velocity of approximately 277 RPM. The product number for the mixer is KSM110 and the model number is 456. This means that there are two speeds on the motor which may be adjusted using the control panel located on top of the appliance. An approximate capacity for this mixer is 4.7 gallons or 1.2 liters per minute (LPM).

The KSM-110 model motor is different from the 1100W model motor which is optimized for a bowl capacity of 8 quarts. The 1100W model will have a greater capacity and velocity and will weigh more than the 456 watt mixer.

Some of you may wonder if you can mix even more taste by using both speeds on the control panel at one time or in rapid succession. You can actually get even better results by adjusting to different serialized speeds (at least 1/2 speed adjustments) on the KitchenAid mixer. However, you must pause between each speed or else the ingredients may become too agitated and gummy in texture (This results in a heavy thick end product that is not desirable).

The batching operation may take place in the bowl, an additional mixing vessel or a processing machine. This example assumes that you will be batching within the bowl of your KitchenAid mixer. The following picture shows an additional mixing vessel with a 5 qt capacity that is attached to the base of a motorized mixer. You may also attach additional vessels to your mixer if desired:

How tall is the 5 quart KitchenAid mixer?

The 5 quart KitchenAid KSM-275 mixer is slightly taller than most other similar sized models. With the exception of the 5 quart Black and Decker (Model: LCK5), all other similar mixers are shorter in height.

What is the difference between a KitchenAid KSM-275 mixer, KSM-600, and KSM-710?

The 750 watt model has the same bowl capacity as the 600 watt model, but it has a 7 qt bowl capacity, which is an additional 50 watt or 15% boost in power over that of the 600 watt model. The 700 watt motor adds an additional 50 watts, while the 1 AMP motor adds an additional 100 watts (with no speed increase).

How do I clean my Kitchenaid attachments?

The glass jar that comes with the mixture had by most mixers is dishwasher safe, but you may hand wash it to prevent scratching and chipping the glass (never use a metal washing utensil). The metal bowl must be washed by hand because it is not designed to withstand the high temperatures and intense cleaning of a dishwasher (in fact, all metal parts should be washed by hand).

How much clearance do you need for a KitchenAid mixer?

For an all KitchenAid mixer, the clearance required is 16 in. on top and 8 in. at the sides and front (this does not include any attachments). For a glass bowl attachment for non-KitchenAid mixers, the clearance required is 14 in. on top and 6 in. of space on all sides (includes accessories attached to base, as well as space from base to bottom edge of bowl).

Is mixing by hand able to produce the same results as a KitchenAid mixer?

The mixing done by hand may take longer than that done with a mixer, but it will be completely adequate for most recipes. Baking is influenced by many other factors, including the temperature of the ingredients and the temperature of the room. It will be necessary to mix thoroughly until all ingredients are combined and evenly distributed without being too thick or runny.

How long can I keep my KitchenAid mixer unattended?

Most KitchenAid mixers have safety locks on them that prevent them from turning if they are left in an upright position. This lock is typically engaged when the mixer head is in a down position (sometimes called resting). Some models have a ‘safety shield’ that prevents access to the controls while mixing.

How tall is a mixer?

Most KitchenAid mixers can be placed on a higher shelf, or under a cabinet, without reducing the height of the countertop above. The glass jar for the kitchenaid mixer can also be stored in another cabinet.

Can I cut ingredients in my KitchenAid mixer?

As with all mixers, using a food processor attachment to chop ingredients is not recommended as it may cause sparks and/or damage to the appliance. Simply use a knife or food processor instead.
