Breville covers the Bakery Chef with a one-year warranty on the machine and a five-year warranty on the motor, longer coverage than the one-year warranty KitchenAid provides for the Artisan. However, the dial is a little slower to change speeds than the KitchenAid switch, and it’s too easy to overshoot the pause setting and turn the machine off instead (which resets the timer). (The mixer was able to whip small amounts of cream in both bowls.) The Bakery Chef has a dial rather than a lever to control its speed, and it has a pause function that stops the timer as well as the mixer. We found the Bakery Chef’s 5-quart glass bowl to be heavy, while the 4-quart metal bowl was too small for us to mix a large batch of kitchen sink cookies-the dough pushed up against the edges and threatened to spill over. So it’s worth considering only if you really value those extra features or prefer Breville’s design, and if you don’t mind some of the machine’s drawbacks.

However, at this writing, the Breville Bakery Chef costs almost as much as the KitchenAid Artisan, and we don’t think it’s quite as user-friendly. KitchenAid Pro 5 Plus 5 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer, 249.99 (originally 499.99) The Pro Bowl-Lift comes in Onyx Black, KitchenAid’s classic Empire Red and a muted greyish Silver, but we have our eyes on this extra cool matte Inky Blue.Retailing for 499.99, the Cyber Monday on Best Buy has slashed the price to 249.99.It boasts 10 speeds, so you’ll never be left wondering when a recipe. It’s a bit easier to add ingredients to a bowl-lift mixer than a tilt-head mixer when the bowl is lowered, but it’s also impossible to remove the bowl without also removing the beater attachment, which is a mildly annoying extra step. They tend to be larger than tilt-head mixers (since you need clearance to raise and lower the bowl), and they’re also typically sturdier and more stable so they can better handle thick doughs.

Professional mixers such as the Hobart line mainly use this design, but so do some domestic mixers, like the KitchenAid Pro 600 Series.
Tilt-head mixers tend to be more compact than bowl-lift mixers, and they make it easy to swap out beaters or to remove the bowl while the beaters are still attached. This model is popular among those who like everything to match as it has a matching food processor, stand blender and hand mixer.
A burnished flat beater and dough hook provide extra protection in use and in the dishwasher. Most stand mixers for home cooks-including the popular KitchenAid Artisan-are made in this style. The premium KitchenAid® Architect® 5-Quart Stand Mixer is available in exclusive metallic finishes and features a designer glass bowl with comfort handle. Tilt-head design: The top of the machine tilts up so that you can attach or remove the mixing attachment and bowl.
