Ankarsrum Assistent Original Stand Mixers & Attachments

Ankarsrum Assistent Original Stand Mixer in RedIn Red, the Ankarsrum Assistent Original adds a bold finish to a machine built around an unusual idea: the bowl turns while the tools stay put. The motor sits in the base, which lowers the center of gravity and keeps the mixer planted while it kneads as much as 11 pounds (5 kilograms) of heavy bread dough, with no walking across the counter. This listing covers the Essential Package, the current Ankarsrum configuration. Nothing about the mixer itself has changed. What Sets the Ankarsrum Design Apart Rotating Bowl: The stainless steel bowl does the turning while the dough tools hold their position, a motion that mimics hand kneading. The result is superior gluten development, and the motor avoids strain when the load is heavy. Open Access: Because the arm is offset, nothing sits above the bowl. Flour, water, or other ingredients can go in while the mixer is running, with no need to stop the machine or tilt back a heavy head. Range of Batch Sizes: Among the largest residential mixers available, it works with batches as small as one egg white and as large as 5 kilograms (11 pounds) of dough, which makes it a good fit for big holiday baking sessions. A small whipping job such as that egg white needs the optional Premium Beater Set, because the Essential Package leaves out the whisks. Motor Control: A high-torque motor paired with a variable speed sensor adapts its power to the load on its own, and a built-in 12-minute timer helps repeat kneading times from batch to batch. Swedish Build: Ankarsrum has hand-assembled these machines in Sweden since 1940. The body is die-cast aluminum and the dials are chrome-plated zinc, both made to last. Adding Whisks and a Beater BowlThe Essential Package ships without whisking tools, so whipping cream, whipping egg whites, or creaming butter calls for extra equipment. The Premium Beater Set supplies the beaters, but it fits only the Ankarsrum Stainless Steel Beater Bowl, which is a separate purchase. The Premium Beater Set & Bowl Complete covers both in one step. Bakers who stick mostly to bread and other heavy doughs can use the included tools as they are./br> .km-ankarsrum-accessories{--km-ink:#2c041c;--km-ink-soft:rgba(44,4,28,.64);--km-accent:#8f9732;--km-accent-dark:#6f7527;--km-border:rgba(44,4,28,.10);--km-shadow:rgba(44,4,28,.14);box-sizing:border-box;display:block;width:100%;max-width:680px;margin:20px 0 24px;padding:20px 22px;border:1px solid var(--km-border);border-radius:14px;background:linear-gradient(180deg,#fffefc 0%,#faf8f1 100%);color:var(--km-ink) !important;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;text-decoration:none !important;box-shadow:0 1px 2px rgba(44,4,28,.05),0 10px 24px -16px var(--km-shadow);transition:transform .18s ease,box-shadow .18s ease,border-color .18s ease;} .km-ankarsrum-accessories *,.km-ankarsrum-accessories *::before,.km-ankarsrum-accessories *::after{box-sizing:border-box;} .km-ankarsrum-accessories:hover,.km-ankarsrum-accessories:focus{color:var(--km-ink) !important;text-decoration:none !important;border-color:rgba(143,151,50,.35);box-shadow:0 2px 4px rgba(44,4,28,.05),0 16px 32px -16px var(--km-shadow);transform:translateY(-2px);} .km-ankarsrum-accessories:hover .km-ankarsrum-accessories__cta,.km-ankarsrum-accessories:focus .km-ankarsrum-accessories__cta{background:#45071e;} .km-ankarsrum-accessories:hover .km-ankarsrum-accessories__cta-arrow,.km-ankarsrum-accessories:focus .km-ankarsrum-accessories__cta-arrow{transform:translateX(3px);} .km-ankarsrum-accessories:focus-visible{outline:2px solid var(--km-accent);outline-offset:3px;} .km-ankarsrum-accessories__inner{display:flex;align-items:center;gap:16px;} .km-ankarsrum-accessories__badge{display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;flex:0 0 auto;width:44px;height:44px;border-radius:50%;background:rgba(143,151,50,.15);color:var(--km-accent-dark);font-size:22px;font-weight:800;line-height:1;} .km-ankarsrum-accessories__copy{flex:1 1 auto;min-width:0;} .km-ankarsrum-accessories__eyebrow{display:block;margin:0 0 4px;color:var(--km-accent-dark);font-size:11px;font-weight:700;line-height:1.2;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;} .km-ankarsrum-accessories__title{display:block;margin:0 0 4px;color:var(--km-ink);font-size:18px;font-weight:800;line-height:1.25;} .km-ankarsrum-accessories__text{display:block;margin:0;color:var(--km-ink-soft);font-size:13px;line-height:1.45;} .km-ankarsrum-accessories__cta{display:inline-flex;align-items:center;gap:6px;flex:0 0 auto;padding:10px 16px;border-radius:999px;background:var(--km-ink);color:#fff !important;font-size:12.5px;font-weight:700;line-height:1.2;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.02em;white-space:nowrap;transition:background-color .18s ease;} .km-ankarsrum-accessories__cta-arrow{display:inline-block;transition:transform .18s ease;} .km-ankarsrum-accessories__cta-arrow::after{content:">";font-size:15px;} @media (max-width:560px){.km-ankarsrum-accessories{padding:18px;} .km-ankarsrum-accessories__inner{flex-wrap:wrap;} .km-ankarsrum-accessories__copy{flex:1 1 100%;order:2;} .km-ankarsrum-accessories__badge{order:1;} .km-ankarsrum-accessories__cta{order:3;width:100%;justify-content:center;margin-top:4px;}} +Ankarsrum AttachmentsComplete your mixer setupBrowse compatible pasta rollers, grinders, slicers, mills, beaters, and more.Shop accessories Learn More

Ankarsrum Assistent Original Stand Mixer in Royal Blue MatteThe Royal Blue Matte finish gives the Ankarsrum Assistent Original a deep, non-glossy color, and the machine underneath is built for serious dough work. Its motor-in-base construction keeps the weight low, so the mixer stays in place while it works through as much as 11 pounds (5 kilograms) of dense bread dough. This listing covers the Essential Package, Ankarsrum’s current configuration; the mixer itself is the same. How the Assistent Original Works Turning Bowl, Stationary Tools: The bowl rotates while the dough tools stay in position. This arrangement mimics the motion of hand kneading, which produces superior gluten development and keeps heavy loads from taxing the motor. Whole-Grain and High-Hydration Doughs: The hand-kneading motion also handles dense whole-grain doughs and wet, high-hydration doughs, and Ankarsrum publishes guides for working with both. Ingredients on the Fly: With the offset arm, the bowl is completely open, so ingredients can be added mid-mix, with no pause in the mixing and no heavy head to lift out of the way. Automatic Power Matching: A variable speed sensor lets the high-torque motor match its power to the load automatically, and the 12-minute timer built into the base keeps kneading times repeatable. Capacity for Big Bakes: Few residential mixers are larger. It takes a single egg white at one end and 5 kilograms (11 pounds) of dough at the other, which suits high-volume holiday baking. Whipping the egg white calls for the optional Premium Beater Set, because the Essential Package contains no whisks. Swedish Construction: Assembled by hand in Ankarsrum, Sweden, since 1940, the mixer has a body of die-cast aluminum and dials of chrome-plated zinc, both made to last. If You Plan to Whip or CreamWhisking falls outside the Essential Package. To whip, cream, or beat, add the Premium Beater Set, which fits only the Ankarsrum Stainless Steel Beater Bowl, a separate purchase, or choose the Premium Beater Set & Bowl Complete, which includes both. Bread and other heavy doughs need nothing beyond what is in the box. Learn More
