Powerful enough for the everyday baker
I have wanted a stand mixer since forever, and finally bought one. I had always had my eyes on the Kitchenaid product, but once I started researching, I realised that there are other more powerful motors out there. However, I went with the Kitchenaid as I figured I probably didn't need a wildly strong motor for what I was cooking. The toughest thing I make is probably pasta which requires lots of kneading of a tough dough, and while it's definitely working hard to do it, she powers through every time - and the pasta is incredible.

Great mixer
The mixer is great but doesn’t mix small quantities well. Very heavy and better to keep on the bench permanently. Love the guard with pouring section.

At a glance
This premium stand mixer is built for home bakers who regularly make large batches of dough, batter and family-size recipes. Its 6.6 L bowl, bowl-lift stability and 11-speed control make it especially strong for heavier mixing jobs. Durable materials and dishwasher-safe tools add convenience. The main limitation is its larger size and weight, so it suits benchtop use more than easy storage.
What it’s great for
- Batch baking
- Bread dough
- Pizza dough
- Double cake mixes
- Frequent home baking
- Heavy mixing tasks
Where it works best
- Family kitchen
- Home baking setup
- Spacious benchtop kitchen
- Frequent-use kitchen
Who it’s for
- Home baker
- Large household
- Frequent entertainer
- Bread maker
- Serious cooking enthusiast
Things to consider
Its larger, heavier bowl-lift design is excellent for stability and big batches, but it is less convenient to move or tuck away than smaller tilt-head mixers.
Baking enthusiast suitability
9/10 - excellent for regular bakers making bread, dough and larger cake batches at home
Multi-function attachment score
8/10 - strong platform for attachment-based versatility, though attachments are typically optional extras
Ease of cleaning rating
9/10 - dishwasher-safe bowl and mixing tools simplify post-baking cleanup
Kitchen space fit
Best for medium to large kitchens with dedicated benchtop space
Beginner friendliness
7/10 - straightforward controls, but its size and heavier bowl-lift format suit committed users more than occasional beginners
Key benefits
- 6.6 l bowl capacity: Handles larger family recipes and batch baking with less need to split mixes.
- Bowl-lift design: Adds extra stability for heavier doughs and dense mixtures.
- 11 speeds with half speed: Gives more control for everything from folding delicate ingredients to mixing thicker doughs.
- 375 w motor: Provides the power needed for regular baking tasks and heavier mixing at home.
- Die-cast zinc construction: Built for long-term durability and steady benchtop performance.
- Stainless steel bowl: Offers a durable mixing surface suited to frequent use.
- Dishwasher-safe bowl and tools: Makes cleanup easier after baking sessions.
- Pouring shield: Helps reduce splashes and mess when adding ingredients.
Q: Will this mixer handle bread dough and double batches comfortably?
A: Yes. KitchenAid 5KSM70SHXABK is designed for larger mixes, with a 6.6L bowl, bowl-lift stability and a 375W motor that suits dense doughs and double cake batches. It is better matched to frequent family baking than occasional small mixes.
Q: Does it mix small amounts well or suit larger recipes?
A: It suits larger recipes best. KitchenAid 5KSM70SHXABK is built around a 6.6L bowl and bowl-lift setup, so it is stronger on batch baking and heavier doughs than very small quantities, where ingredients can be harder to catch cleanly.
Q: Is the bowl-lift design better for heavy mixing jobs?
A: Yes. The bowl-lift design locks the bowl in place and adds stability when mixing thicker batters or doughs, so the mixer stays more controlled under load. The trade-off is a larger, heavier machine that is best left on the benchtop.
Q: What attachments fit the KitchenAid KSM70 bowl-lift mixer?
A: KitchenAid 5KSM70SHXABK is made to use KitchenAid stand mixer attachments that connect through the front attachment hub. Check that any extra bowl or accessory is listed for the KSM70 bowl-lift platform, because fit can vary by mixer style and bowl size.
Q: Is this mixer light enough to store away after use?
A: No. KitchenAid 5KSM70SHXABK is a large die-cast zinc stand mixer with a bowl-lift frame, so it is better suited to a permanent benchtop spot than regular lifting in and out of a cupboard. That size is part of what helps with heavier mixing tasks.
Q: Can the bowl and tools go in the dishwasher?
A: Yes. The stainless steel bowl and the included mixing tools are dishwasher safe, which makes clean-up easier after dough or batter mixing. The main mixer body is not dishwasher safe, so the bowl-lift area still needs a normal wipe-down by hand.
