KitchenAid Artisan Plus Stand Mixer Review: Tiny Additions, Big Difference

KitchenAid Artisan Plus Stand Mixer Review: Tiny Additions, Big Difference

There is a $100 price difference between the Artisan Plus and Artisan models. However, the Artisan Plus’s features are small but mighty, and make the cost difference seem like a bargain, especially in higher-stakes recipe scenarios. This upgraded model has a more powerful 350-watt motor compared to the Artisan series model’s 325 watts. With the Artisan Plus’s increased intensity also comes the new precision speed control. Twist the knob of the Artisan Plus and you engage half-speed settings, so you can move between two and 2.5, all the way up to 11. Previous generations capped out at 10 speeds. The Artisan Plus’s “Soft Start” feature gently transitions between speeds. Coupled with the LED light situated above the mixing bowl, it makes managing the most delicate of recipes exact. While I compared the Artisan Plus and Artisan series models, I found that the addition of the bowl light and precision mixing speeds alone made it worth the slightly higher price point. I’d often stop mixing to visually check progress with my Artisan series stand mixer, while …

These 4 small additions improved our home more than any smart hub

These 4 small additions improved our home more than any smart hub

I’m always looking for new and exciting gadgets and innovations to add to my home. Of course, I don’t have the budget to spend like crazy to make all kinds of improvements at once. It’s all about planning out the bigger changes around the house and supplementing them with smaller ones to give your house an upgraded feel. Since we moved into our home, we’ve made some big changes, like adding a generator and a fence. But there have been smaller upgrades we’ve made that have boosted our home’s value as well. Some of them we may one day see returns on when we sell our house. Others have just been for us and improving how we live in the space. The four smaller additions to our home that have made a big difference recently, I can’t recommend highly enough.
