Ankarsrum Mixer Overview - Kitchen Assistent - Quick Comparison against KitchenAid and Attachments

[@Mindy56743]

I purchased the ankarsrum mixer last year after a double batch of pasta dough killed my kitchen aid mixer. It was a expensive purchase but definitely worth the cost! A month later my daughter decided I would make her wedding cake and I was able to make the 3 tiers and the many batches of meringue icing for the cake with the ankarsrum with no problem. The small bowl would whip a dozen egg whites to stiff peaks in no time at all. I know the mixer made this huge job so much more manageable. I have since told everyone about the ankarsrum mixer and advised them to get one. I am also a huge fan of the bamix hand blender for quality. Both are made in Sweden.

[@EverythingKitchens]

Mindy, so glad you are loving your Ankarsrum! The large size of the bowls really do make big task much more managable. If you are ever in the market to expand your Ankarsrum's capabilities, check out their attachments at our online store: www.everythingkitchens.com/ankarsrum.html?item_class=20137

[@Mindy56743]

@@EverythingKitchens it seems that a lot of them are sold out

[@EverythingKitchens]

@@Mindy56743 They are popular! We should have more on order direct from Ankarsrum to restock ♥

[@RDens4d]

Two months later and many of the attachments are still sold out. Looking forward to them being restocked

[@per-olamjomark7452]

Bamix is Swiss I believe, not Swedish.

[@DannoTull]

Thank you, you have the best demo video that features the many different attachments for the Ankarsrum mixer.

[@hlegler]

5:10 There's an attachment that turns rolled oats into rolled oats?? Hush up and take my money!

[@EverythingKitchens]

Hey Heather, they do have an attachment called the Flake Mill attachment that can do that: evkitch.com/302wjHa - it's currently out of stock, but you can sign up to be notified when this product is in stock :) I hope this helps!

Hey Heather haha....I get you he doesn't !!!

Ankarsrum mixer are so incredible. I would LOVE TO HAVE ONE

[@RDens4d]

Between 1:45 and 1:50, the Ankarsrum appears to have been knocked off balance. How stable is this mixer when mixing drier doughs such as this one?

[@EverythingKitchens]

R Dens4d, for this video we had the mixer on a wooden cutting board which is a less-than-ideal surface for any mixer. Typically this would not happen as the mixer is quite heavy and typically does stay in place on a standard countertop. I hope this helps!

[@HotVoodooWitch]

Very. You have to make sure you don't run the mixer too fast (this is true for all doughs) and you need to adjust the arm so that it doesn't rock while the mixer is kneading.

[@user-eh2hj8bx6O]

How cool, I really wanted to see it do the sausage though 🥺

[@HotVoodooWitch]

There are manufacturer's videos here on KZbin.

[@MsPacWorld]

Is there a video of how the spatula works in this machine? What replaces the paddle option?

[@fathiasyurinamuthmainnah8125]

Wow, thanks for the video! Can I purchase it to Indonesia?

[@peeriepoppels1784]

Hi! Can i make a large cake batch (10 eggs) in the netal bowl? Thank you!

[@qabtcbm]

The only thing I use the plastic bowl for is whipping cream and meringue. I use the 7qt metal bowl and dough roller for all cakes, quick breads, cookies, homemade marshmallows and divinity candy, etc. You can even make meringue with the dough roller but it takes longer.

[@DiannaAtherton]

Which ankarsrum model has the largest bowl capacity?

[@leroyjenkins3179]

Ankarsrum is the best!

[@chefe2152]

Ok here is my question, I often make high hydration bread,im using kitchenaid pro,I find after 15 minutes of mixing the kitchenaid motor heats quite a bit.,how long this mixer can continuously mix dough without over heating?

[@EverythingKitchens]

Hey Chef E, 15 minutes is actually the max runtime that KitchenAid recommends continually running their mixers for. Because of the much different motor design in the Ankarsrum, you can run it much longer with no worries. They also warranty the motor for 7 years! I reached out to Ankarsum USA to see if I can get a more official answer and they didn't have a max run time - they said they've used the motor base with their meat grinder attachment and processed an entire deer for ground venison and continually ran the machine for 45 minutes with no issues at all. I'd say the Ankarsrum could handle any high hydration bread dough without any overheating or issues. I hope this helps!

[@brendaleong596]

What is the smallest dough i can knead in this mixer? I don’t make big batches or loafs so is this suitable?

[@EverythingKitchens]

Brenda, you can easily make small batches in the Ankarsrum thanks to the dough roller's design - single small batches (like 1-2 loaves of bread) would work completely fine. Check out Ankarsrum here: evkitch.com/3ypMbPD

[@HotVoodooWitch]

@@EverythingKitchens ✋🏻Happy owner here; I can confirm. You can easily do a lb. of dough.

[@jerrypritchett283]

I have been making bread by hand for over 50 years. Now, I have arthritis in my wrists, making kneading painful. I am surprised how few reviewers and commenters give this as a reason for using an Ankarsrum to replace the pain of hand mixing and kneading.

[@mathismuller6033]

According to the Ankarsrum website, after the war there was about a 3-year wait to be able to purchase one, UNLESS you had a doctors-note saying you had an issue with your hand/wrist etc. Subsequently Ankarsrum got loads of doctor's-notes.

[@Ianuarius]

I need a food processor so I can dump in beans and veggies and stuff and make paste. I love it how the stand mixer manufacturers call dicers and crap food processor attachments.

[@robinbrentnall2760]

I purchased this from you awesome thanks

[@michaelcraigjesso6043]

I do cooking videos and I want one of these so bad. I'm sick and tired of leaking planetary gears on Kitchen Aids.

Preach‼️

[@michaeldavis4746]

I bought mine at Pleasant Hill Grain in Nebraska who gave me a discount when I asked for one plus FREE Shipping! They were the first in the USA to carry these "Anks." This Ank was made originally by a company called. "Electrolux of Sweden." I love this machine! If you like making bread then this machine is the one to buy. My crank-up bowl heavy-duty Kitchenaid is very noisy and moved around the counter when mixing low hydration doughs. You can also hear it straining to do the mixing like it is bogging down power-wise. The Ankarsrum has none of these faults. It is quiet and extremely powerful. even at high speed! The Ankarsrum has a warranty on the motor for 7 years and is built by hand and with pride to last a lifetime. The Kitchenaid has a 1-year warranty and is built to last an estimated 10 years before you need to buy another one. I am completely happy with buying my Ankarsrum Original Assistent.

[@alexandradavid1586]

Do the attachments fit the old Magic Mill that I bought 12 years ago?

[@HotVoodooWitch]

Probably. Shoot the Bread Beckers an e-mail; they’re the U.S. importers and have 20+ years of experience with this mixer.

[@2002adeabraham]

Does it have dicers

[@EverythingKitchens]

Hey Abraham Adesayo! The Ankarsrum Slicer/Shredder attachment should do the trick for dicing foods!😋

[@optionout]

WOW this thing is AMAZING!

[@dduuggii]

Never seen such a huge channel logo on the movie...

[@rlyndon1]

I am older so when I make bread - I use 1 kg flour so can I use the dough hook rather then the round one. I make allot of🎉 marshmallow pavlovas, cakes, sponges, small cakes and scones and fancy desserts so can all this be made in the smaller bowl I hope it will shock and artiste well when making my pavlovas - i I’ve doing bread but I also love the sweet side as well but checking I can do smaller amounts like 1 kg of flour for my bread with the hook😁

[@intermarer9145]

wth is "QT"?

[@nicksurfs1]

Quart.

[@redforeverjmk]

Why not compare the Ankarsrum Mixer to the KitchenAid Pro 8 quart. That would be a more reasonable comparison. I don't think a comparison to the 6 quart is fair. I have the KitchenAid 8 quart stand mixer and it is a beast. For one thing, the motor is 1.3 HP, compared to about 600 watts for the Ankarsrum. This Ankarsrum Mixer is very similar to the Bosch Universal Plus Mixer.

[@virtuousmountainwoman]

I ❤🎉

[@danmcguire3355]

Let me see as you compare. The Ankarsrum is also 3x the price I paid for my Kitchenaid Pro6. Also it came with a 6qt and 3qt bowl, whisk, dough hook, beater and flour guard. Bought the juicer, grinder, shedder for $199. Get the pasta for about the same. So total Kitchenaid package for less than just the Ankarsrum mixer. Oh and by the way, made pizza dough in the 6 quart with just 2 cups of flour.

[@CShannon1991]

How did it turn out?

[@SmokeyTreats]

Sad for you though KA's are complete junk from communist China, though assembled in the States. Are you seriously trying to compare a light duty mixer that requires a 30 min cool down period for every 10 min of use with the World's best consumer heavy duty mixer? Enjoy sending your noisy clunker off every few years for repair. They look cool though. Too bad Whirlpool ruined the original Hobart design after purchasing them. KA is the biggest hoodwinker in the manufacturing industry.

[@MNIU_]

The kitchen aid isnt built for doing heavy doughs like pasta all the time... that is my biggest reason for purchasing the ank whenever i read review for people who did pasta, the kitchenaid didn't last as well with tough dough

[@HotVoodooWitch]

What’s your point about the two cups of flour?

[@cannibalholocaust3015]

As an engineering enthusiast first time I saw ankarsrum was like “dough! It’s so obvious” The rotating bowl and gearing system means high torque at low rpm with well machines gears and huge motor. Kitchenaids strip gears often when kneading and IMHO you should not knead anything other than very wet dough.

[@roseluca6865]

Good! !!!

[@benjaminbrewer2154]

Interesting mixer, but bad form with the comparisons. Hire a better marketing team.

[@גנטלמה]

To expancive but vary good

[@cannibalholocaust3015]

When you use one the price makes sense. Close to commercial grade equipment.

[@michaeldavis4746]

I have both the Ankarsrum Original Assistent and the big heavy-duty bowl crank-up KitchenAid (28 years old). I think after using both of these machines overall the Ankarsrum is a superior build design and quality. Every five years I have to send my expensive KitchenAid to the Ohio factory because it leaked oil from the gearbox. This maintenance is costly $100 plus any parts they inevitably need to use, i.e. gears, bushings, gaskets, etc. Overall, I believe I got a great deal on my Ankarsrum at $650 shipped free from Pleasant Hill Grain in Nebraska (online). Virtually zero maintenance is required on this machine. It handles heavy bread doughs to make meringues with ease and no bogging down the motor.

[@Centro_Pediatrico]

MAKE ICE?

[@Pharmaceuticat]

I love this idea but just wish it didnt look so silly on its side lol

[@markdcmountp]

II really hate the execution of almost all of the features of this mixer.

[@sashineb.2114]

I've been thinking of getting one. What did you notice that wasn't ideal? Thanks. (I don't like the smaller plastic bowl and plastic gears, so that's keeping me undecided.)

[@markdcmountp]

@@sashineb.2114 just the overall build and clunky placement of the machine attachments, A total design mess to cook with and try to use.

[@sashineb.2114]

@@markdcmountp Thanks. I like the open bowl (no motorhead in the way), but I see video where the dough just sits there and won't move. I've heard they are going to re-design the gear system for the small bowl since many complain about the plastic breaking. I still think I'd be better of with a KitchenAid or Kenwood. Most bread making I do by hand anyway.

[@Rotadiva]

@@sashineb.2114 I've used kitchenaides for years, but want to try an open bowl so, am considering this as well as the Bosch universal mixer. Still conflicted.

[@Rotadiva]

@@markdcmountp Yes, laying it on its side, is a bit weird.

[@jackiebulmer515]

Insane price, looks flimsy. I'll stick with my KitchenAid Pro.

[@nicksurfs1]

Its not flimsy in the slightest. I've burned out a lot of KA pros. But this thing is a beast!

[@desertdweller9548]

This is just a sales pitch. Pathetic.

[@MattS-fu8nv]

Looks like a real crap. You mixing dough, but you have to hold it by hand and scrape sides all the time and it costs almost 1000$ what a useless machine this is

[@kathrynryches6660]

Maybe you should watch it again. You do NOT have to hold it by hand.

[@MichaelWilliams-ub3ow]

Operator made the dough too dry!!! Correct consistency and adjustment would have allowed the machine to squeeze the mixture, massage the gluten and smoothly tighten the dough.
