NutriMill Artiste Stand Mixer Review ~ Buying a Stand Mixer ~ Amy Learns to Cook

[@millieh.-nyc6537]

I've had this mixer for over a year and I truly love it. As with all equipment, it takes a little getting used to & a learning curve. It's a powerful machine & very sturdy. I've made all sorts of doughs & cookies; single & multiple batches & it works beautifully. For me, I love the top load feature & it's kneading strength. It just takes some patience. I keep the lid on when kneading & the little bit of heat & condensation it generates helps the dough loosen & knead. I highly recommend. Oh and by the way, this is the first stand mixer I've ever owned ♡♡. Be well.

[@kathysilber7234]

I made probably 50+ loaves of bread in December using my beautiful red KitchenAid. The bigger one. I love it, but this certainly is enticing! To buy or not to buy. That is the question. Also, Amy, I'm going to check out your cooking videos, because I decided that I was going to learn to cook this year. YAY!!! I'm 75, and when my twin sister and I were getting married, we asked our mom to teach us to cook. Her response was, "You'll learn when the time comes!" GULP! I had learned to bake in 8th grade home ec, but in cooking I never learned to do much more than make casseroles. So I went to the library and stocked up on books, and yesterday I made a Pork Roast with Rosemary and Garlic and Creamed Onions. I never knew I could do that! My husband is over the moon! Maybe if I keep up the great meals my husband will buy the mixer for me? Guess I'll keep my fingers crossed. : )

After watching your tests on various mixers, the bosch universal came up on top but for a novice baker that mixer is too big until I ran into the nutrimill artiste. Good price, good size, it's nice.

[@consaboramiel]

I have been watching your videos for quite sometime now and I want to thank you for all the time you give to each product so we don't go blind to spend all our money which could end up in the garbage. I'm on the verge to buy this machine so I came to see your point of view and I was able to see how you came to the conclusion that the dough kneading is poor. I saw the machine just going around doing nothing as you did, so I went to check other videos I saw before and I think that the problem might be in the hydration of the dough because the test that they put this machine into, is to add color to the dough and check how well it got incorporated, and the machine mixes the dough and color perfectly fine, which is a plus for me because I like to do colored pasta dough and with the planetary I was never able to have a uniform color. So you might be right and needs to be used several times to find the perfect point for the dough. Again, thank you for your time! I enjoy your videos very much!

[@judyarthur8617]

I have had this mixer for around 3 months. I really like it. At first I was concerned it seemed that the motor kinda lagged a bit while I was doing bread. I make sour dough bread. It catches dough about every third rotation and stretches it nicely, the next couple of rotations is like it is folding it. I do not get the crumb like doing manually, but it is good. It is a trade off. My arthritis has really been flaring in my hands, so this helps me make bread. It does well on cookies, cakes, whipped toppings!

[@jessicasand9381]

Just preordered the updated version of this Artiste- will be mailed out soon (I hope). They made several changes to it but I’m grateful for your review! This will help me when I get it , as I’m coming from a KA.

[@ac5aa]

I did too. Looking forward,to doing bread again.

[@chineeboy18]

This is beautiful piece of hardware. The price is amazing and it has both strong and weak points. The motor is powerful and it is designed primarily for larger than the usual batches. Amy you covered this review beautifully. You highlighted both the cons and pros better than I could of expected. I own one these mixers and if I had to give my opinion on this mixer, I would point anyone to this video. Thanks for another amazing test and review. Thanks again guys. Luv your channel. 💯♥️👍

[@countrycitybeach]

[@EricLearnstoCook]

@@countrycitybeach This mixer sold for around $199 with a ton of attachments during December of 2018. They sometimes have 'monthly specials'. If they let Amy know when they are, she can pass that info on to members of her FaceBook group. Some people took advantage of that sweet deal and love it.

[@cnnw3929]

On yeast dough, the level of hydration would be similar to the Ankarsrum. The price point is definitely right for someone looking for an inexpensive version of the Bosch, and it seems to work well with smaller sized batches. I'll have to wait until the next Black Friday before I add one to my collection. Thanks for the review!

[@TooStinkinFine]

Looks like a nice mixer. I bought a Kitchenaid lift mixer on sale and love it. It’s heavy which I like but it’s too tall to store away. The paddle scraper for it workers SO well. I would LOVE to have the Ankarsrum mixer but can’t afford it. I have issues with my hands so making bread and cakes with a stand mixer is a must. I just haven’t been as familiar with the Bosch or Nutrimill mixers. They do look like nice mixers.

[@waynew237]

I think it might spin because of how fast I watched someone make dough in one and she mixed it on low speed and it seemed to do better. Great review👍

[@GarySaarimaki]

The bowl scraper works great on the outside area of the bowl but the inside scraper is not long enough to scrape the entire area of the centre post. BTW you can attach the bowl scraper by just pushing it down onto the hub while it is attached to the centre post....you don''t have to remove the hub first. The scraper should not be used in a dry or empty bowl...it can break which is what happened to me. I was told to wipe a little oil on the blades which removes the friction. Since you were able to use the bowl from the Universal Plus on the Artiste, I would say that the bowls are the same size and thus the performance of the 2 mixers should be exactly the same.

[@EricLearnstoCook]

Amy had a little difficulty in getting it on and off. When pressing hard for it to click in place, it was a bit hard to get off. Had to get it on or else the pouring shield would't fit.

[@Russellkhan]

Thanks for all your videos, Amy & Eric. I'm only recently a subscriber but I have enjoyed watching them for some time now, even when I'm not actually shopping for anything. I really appreciate that you don't hesitate to mention a product's shortcomings. Here's where I'm at. I have an Electrolux DLX Assistent (basically the same as the Ankarsrum that you love, as you know). But I've mostly stopped using it as I make less bread now (usually just one batch of one or two loaves a week lately) and I have gotten in the habit of doing it by hand. I used to have a KA 4.5qt Artisan but gave it to a friend after taking up bread baking and getting my Electrolux. My girlfriend used to use the Kitchenaid for her various cakes & cookies, but never has seemed interested in learning to use the DLX. I recently decided to get us a new mixer, one that she would use. I ordered and received a KA Pro 600, but it has problems with bowl clearance. Even after attempting to get it adjusted with KA support on the phone helping me I was unable to get it to pass the dime test. I am returning that mixer. (I'm not getting rid of my DLX, but it is moving out of our small kitchen into a storage room and it will probably only get pulled out and used a couple times a year, which about matches how much I've used it in the last couple years) Now I'm going to replace the Pro 600, but I am trying to decide whether it's the best fit for us. Mixers I'm considering include: Another KA Pro 600, Bosch Compact, Nutrimill Artiste, and Bosch Universal Plus (Well, not really the BUP, but I like the idea of it). I think I've watched your reviews for all of these except the Kitchenaid, as well as reading/watching many other reviews. If you have time to answer, there are a few things I wasn't able to pick up from your reviews. How do these mixers do for small batches? Can you whip 1/2 cup of cream or 1 egg white? How do they compare for cake batters and creaming butter? Your reviews always seem to use softened butter. I realize this is best procedure, but we don't always think ahead and I know the KA will let you get away with using butter straight from the fridge. Will any of the others? Right now, the Kitchenaid is probably the top of the list because of the butter thing and the fact that my girlfriend wouldn't have to learn a new machine (I enjoy that sort of thing, she doesn't). But I really like the idea of some of the others, especially the Nutrimill Artiste and I'd like to know whether the Kitchenaid is actually the best for our purposes (cakes and other batters, cookies, whipping cream, etc, but not bread). What are your thoughts? Thanks!

[@cherrytop9616]

Amy, I just purchased this mixer and it is driving me crazy! It's big and beautiful and I wanted one for soooo long, but all the little pieces you have to wash and keep up with are annoying. I thought it would be great and I wouldn't have to scrape so much as with Kitchen Aid, but you still have to, even using the scraper attachments. Did it take a while to get used to it? Now I'm thinking my KA was just fine, with its one paddle to keep up with. I love your videos, they are addicting! I binge watch..❤️

[@bsc-farm]

I was looking at this one for a while and compare to the bosch and the Ankasrum since I need a new mixer but You're right. Those little pieces are very annoying and unconvience as the KA.. Thanks for the review. I might just stick with the KA for simple.. even there is few things that I don't like about the KA either due to space to storage what is I like of this one.

[@amandaa3713]

With KA, whipping is fast.

[@cascadinglocks]

Hi Amy, I have the Bosch and bought the Artist on sale. Love the Artiste size. The domed lid is great. Correction: you stated motor is 600watts. Mine is 650 watt motor. Cookie paddles are harder to release when stuck in thick dough. I've used my Bosch for several years now in bread making. When the bread dough cleans the side and center of bowl usually don't add more flour just kneed the dough. Dough should be a little sticky not dry. bunch of flour e

[@cascadinglocks]

Over all thought your review was one of the best. Enjoyed it very much. The Nutrimill Artiste is a great mixer. Thankyou for your videos.

[@EricLearnstoCook]

Thanks Penny. I think that's one of the differences between the KA and the Bosch, in that with the Bosch you know the dough needs to be a little sticky for it to not spin around. The KA doesn't really care. But then, you're risking the mixer if the dough is too stiff.

[@pamelagreen1307]

I can’t tell that the dough hooks are doing anything other than going in circles with bowl. Are the truly working the dough?

[@weatherlady9666]

I have the same mixer and it never KNEADS any bread dough I put in it, from what to challah. It just slides it around the bowl. I use my kitchen aid for all dough kneading.

[@millieh.-nyc6537]

If you look at manual that came with Nutrimill, it states to knead on speed 3. However, I find that I toggle between speeds 3, 4 & 5 to knead dough; which is not a big deal. If I do leave it on speed 3, I just let it run for about 10 mind & dough kneads perfectly. Remember, it all depends on how many batches of dough you're making. When I make one batch that's when I have to toggle. Two or more batches not a problem. Just sharing how it works for me. Be well.

[@robinmaurer8306]

I’ve been disappointed with my kitchen aid mixer since I make so much pizza dough and cookies for a large family. It just can’t handle it and starts smoking after I’ve used it for a while. I bought this and am excited to see how it will handle the amount of pizza dough and cookies I make with it.

[@jacuralt246]

Amy, Thank you !! I enjoyed this video and may very well purchase the NutriMill Artiste. I do have a Kitchen Aid Lift Bowl by Hobart, it is 37 years old and still runs great. However, I have only made bread a few times. It does have metal gears which helps. My new find (and was new) last year, was a Chrome, metal base 12 speed Sunbeam Mixmaster. I find the Mixmaster suited well for cakes, and will leave the KItchen Aid for cookie dough and heavy frosting.

[@kathychua7449]

Hi Amy - what would be a better buy - Nutrimill artiste or Bosch compact mixer? i will use mainly for brioche dough

[@sandispaz757]

trying to decide between NutriMill Artiste and the WonderMix your video is helping with my decision

[@bonniecausey5089]

Bosh is a nutrimill with the Bosh name on it. All accessories are interchangeable. Enjoy your new mixer!😊

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

Bosch is made by Bosch and not Nutrimill. The company that owns Nutrimill is Le Chef. They are the exclusive distributor in the US of Bosch. They also make their own bottom drive mixer called the Nutrimill Artiste. Some of the accessories that are in common are made by LeChef and branded Nutrimill. They work on both mixers. But...Nutrimill does not own Bosch. They are just the reseller. The Artiste is not made by Bosch. It is made by Le Chef and has their brand of Nutrimill.

[@bonniecausey5089]

Thanks. I stand corrected. 😮 Still enjoy your new mixer! 😊

[@Papillon_2010]

the mixer attachments remind me of my ankarsrum assistent. I hate that it is plastic but it works very well.

[@r.thomassen6285]

I now discovered that the Nutrimill definately have some advantages over the Bosch. I have a European Bosch, which means that the aluminium part of the dough hook is slightly different. So I have to use the dough divider whenever I knead dough, otherwise the dough will come up the center pole and down the holes on top, and it will make a mess like no other! The Nutrimill have solved that, I discovered. They have a thing, a stopper, on the shaft you connect from underneath the bowl, so dough can't come very far. And the dough hook is very different from the Bosch, and as I can see, that alone will also keep dough away from those holes on top, plus that you can knead small batches. I have to use the dough divider on my Bosch, but that is a different knead than without. If I want a gentle knead, I can't use the dough divider, and then I'm left with a mess of dough inside the shaft and almost down to the motor. After having tried both with and without the dough divider, I prefer kneading without it, which is not possible, so I am looking for a bowl with a bottom mounted dough hook. I love the Bosch, but at the same time hate the job their designers have done with the dough hook and the whole shebang. If the Nutrimill were available in Europe, I would have prefered it over the Bosch, for sure. The downside is that you can't use the blender and food processor attachment, which is not a big deal for most people. If the had exported the Nutrimill to Europe, they would have sold like hotcakes. But they don't like money at Nutrimill, apparently. But I have high hopes for the old Bosch bowl with the bottom mounted dough hook and it is also dishwasher safe. Their new dough hook is not dishwasher safe, and that alone should be enough to fire the crappy Bosch designers. The world stopped using aluminium kitchen stuff in the 1950's, Bosch should be reminded. Ankarsrum have some really bad design too. It is not at all perfect, if anyone should believe so. Kenwood is perfect, but not strong enough for bigger batches of bread making. Nutrimill seems like a very good option for bread makers.

[@peach3611]

Love your reviews, this Bosch spins the dough more than kneads. Thats the only problem i see.

[@EricLearnstoCook]

Thank you for watching. We appreciate it. The Bosch Universal Plus does the same. That's why it takes around 10 minutes to knead dough that only takes 5 minutes in a KitchenAid. But then, Bosch mixers seem to last longer than KA mixers when kneading dough on a regular basis.

[@Stitchinpick]

Actually, try the dye test. Drop a couple drops of dye on your dough with the bosch and the kitchen aid. Kitchen aid stirs it in in a circle. Bosch twist and turns the dough. If your dough is spinning and not doing anything, it a recipe/user error! Bosch kneads longer and skips extra rising because the gluten works up so good. I am a 40 year bosch user (no affiliation.)

[@gramgramsgrandkids741]

@@Stitchinpick only have to rise once? i have noticed in a lot of videos they let it rise only once, I was wondering why.

[@gyorgybereg6916]

i think you should use a meta bowl with this, because dough sticks more to metal, so this design can knead efficiently. just a tought.

With these machines you only add flour until its starts to clean the sides of the bowl. Perfect bread everytime.

[@EricLearnstoCook]

Well, that's the problem with most of these non-planetary mixers. The instruction manual doesn't tell you how to actually use it. So when recipes call for certain amount of flour, you will usually use most of it. But with these machines, you have to learn how they operate. Once you figure it out, they're great. Gotta read the forums. Practice, etc.

[@mikek8720]

[@r.thomassen6285]

Your spinning bread dough is a very good example of what the dough divider can do, it can stop it from spinning. But, I'm quite sure it will not fit together with that Nutrimill bread hook, the extender will crash in the dough divider and break. But if you try the Bosch dough hook together with the dough divider, I think you will get a good result. But your batch is quite small, so it might be even worse. But for larger batches, it will certainly stop it from spinning. If you have the dough divider, try and see what happens. If you don't have it and don't know what it is, the dough divider is a plastic thing that you tread on the center pole. It has two wings, one on each side, and the dough divider does not spin. So the dough will crash in those wings, which stops it from spinning freely. I can see the Nutrimill dough hook does a better job on small batches than the Bosch dough hook, even if it spins. It is at least some movement instead of the dough just clinging to the center pole and stay there without moving.

[@r.thomassen6285]

I forgot to add that you are THE best ever reviewer of kitchen appliances and mixers in particular! KZbin is flooding with those bad reviewers that only try to push their affiliate links, in maximum 2 minute long videos, and where everything is beyond perfect before they even have got it out of the box. But you are standing strong with honest, in-depth reviews, that really gives something to the viewer.

[@r.thomassen6285]

@@gramgramsgrandkids741 It is this thing: www.boschmixers.com/product/dough-divider/ But, I have seen that the American and the European Bosch dough hooks are not completely the same, so the dough divider does not fit the American version of the dough hook. And it will not fit the Nutrimill Artiste either. The aluminum part of the European Bosch dough hook is shorter, while the American is longer. I guess the shorter aluminium part is short so that it doesn't crash in the wings.

Amy, great videos. I need an affordable stand mixer to make smaller portions of lower-carb bread and pasta (maybe even keto products once in a while using lupin flour and vital wheat gluten). Which would you recommend, the Nutrimill Artiste or the Bosch Compact? I was told to stay away from KitchenAid since my mixtures will not be as pliable as traditional flour recipes. Thanks in advance for your time! Subscribed.

I plan on buying the Artiste. I considered the compact but the wattage is so mouch more with this. I will be using it for 1 -2 loaves of bread a couple times a week as well as meatload, mashed taters, cakes, cookies, etc. I am trying to hold off for a sale but i dont think i am going to make it.

Modern day KitchenAid mixers have a lot of issues and many of them won't last 30 years. Many believe that KA isn't the best in the business anymore. If you want a KitchenAid to last 30 years, you would have to buy a pre-Whirlpool KA mixer or one that was made when Hobart owned them. Modern day Bosch mixers as well as Ankarsrum and Kenwood have a higher probability of lasting for years and years over KA.

[@donnalynn2]

@@AmyLearnsToCook Not sure where you get your information but Whirlpool does not manufacturer KitchenAid mixers. They are still made as they were pre-Whirlpool buyout. In fact Whirlpool has a seperate division for the Kitchen Aid small appliance division. I grew up in Benton Harbor, Michigan, the town where the Whirlpool headquarters is located. I used to work there many moons ago and still have many friends who work in different divisions of the Whirlpool corporation including Kitchen Aid. Their stand mixers are still today the best of the best and I really don't see where you would get any data that shows these new ones are any better and will last. You don't even know if these companies will be around in 30+ years.

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

I have a Commercial 8 KitchenAid mixer in Candy Apple Red sitting right in front of me that was $550. I was only used 4 times and it doesn't work. You turn it on and it does 1 rotation and then turns off. I don't need any more data then the piles of e-mails that I have from people whose KA mixers don't work. I've been to the factory twice. Today's KA is not the same as a pre-Whirlpool KA. Doesn't matter if they are still made in the same factory. The corporate office sets policy on the quality of parts that are used. KA mixers are assembled in that factory...the parts are made all over the place. Kenwood has been making mixers since the 40s in Europe and Ankarsrum since 1937. I am glad that you like your KA...as I like my KA too. I have 7 KA mixers. But...they are not the same as they once were. My older ones are way better than my new ones and I have no expectation that my new ones will run for 30 years.

My father's Pro 5 Plus was made in 2006, and it is as strong as an ox. My mother has a worn out KSM5 that I gave her about 10 years ago. It barely runs, and it's a Hobart design. It looks nice, though. These days, I would aim for a Globe SP8 or SP10. Maybe a Hobart N50 for lighter duty. I'm sorry, but I guess I just don't trust the Bosch and its plastic bowls.

+Julie Jansch It looks similar but it isn't. I would stick to either the Nutrimill Artiste or the Bosch Universal Plus. Thanks for watching!

@@AmyLearnsToCook great! Thanks for info

How does this mixer perform when making small batches? I found that the KA 6 qt was not able to whip butter while making icing for a single cake.

[@millieh.-nyc6537]

This machine is excellent at whipping. Just place the shield so you don't have whipping cream all over the place. Be well.

Surely, some room needs to be made for new acquisitions! When is the tag sale?

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

My basement is about 1,200 square feet so there is a lot of room down there for kitchen stuff! LOL!

[@EricLearnstoCook]

Rob, you think Amy will willingly part with any of her collection? LOL!!!

[@jacobsladderpa]

This a wonderful and terrifying prospect!

They are sister companies along with LeChef.

Looks like the bread dough is spinning more than kneading.

Do you collect stand mixers like some people collect shoes or purses?

Second great review this week.

[@EricLearnstoCook]

Thank you Eleanor!

[@Kalmontanna]

Amy, what color is that on your wall? I love it.

[@sasipachodchoy3709]

Either Nutrimill or Bosch are the same ,just only change brand right?

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

Out of the NutriMill and the Bosch, I would get a Bosch. The NutriMill is a fine mixer but the Bosch is better. The NutriMill is similar to the Bosch and is good if you are on a tight budget. If you are willing to spend more, I would say the Bosch overall is better quality.

[@cricutcrazed]

The Nutrimill is based on the Bosch Concept of a decade ago. I’ve had my Concept since early 2000s but it’s plastic. I wanted the “Solitaire” model which is stainless steel. FINALLY found one on EBay and snapped it up about 3 mos ago. Then saw the Nutrimill and bought it. It’s a great machine. I’d rather scrape the center column than have to raise the KA head or bowl lift any day. All mixers need to be scraped somewhat. The Artiste and the Concepts are so lightweight. Other mixers are heavy and unruly. Even if you keep it on the counter, it usually needs to be scooted out. And the Artiste base can fit in a drawer if you have a drawer that size.

It seems QUIETER than the WonderMix--is it?

[@countrycitybeach]

I would like to see it make ice cream

[@EricLearnstoCook]

Point noted. Thank you.

[@dexagalapagos]

Product lost me at "not dishwasher safe"

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

Most mixers have some parts that are not dishwasher safe. Thanks for watching!

[@dexagalapagos]

@@AmyLearnsToCook Which is a real shame. Would be nice to see a video of a line up that's fully dishwasher safe.

[@TheJkilla11]

Because you cut the as you got it on to the board we don't know how long you kneeded this by hand, this thing looks like a dumpster fire.

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

It is a pretty nice mixer. I only cut to speed up the video so it is not boring. Anyway....Thanks for watching.

Then don't watch. She has a right to ramble if she wants. This isn't an advertisement or infomercial, it's just a lady being nice enough to share her reviews to help others make their decisions.
