Hamilton Beach 63395 Red
Score: 66/100Rankings
The KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer combines a sturdy all-metal build with planetary mixing and a generous bowl, making it ideal for large home baking projects. Its modest 300 W motor and wobble issues under heavy loads limit heavy-duty performance. Best for home bakers who prioritize capacity and style over industrial-grade power.
The Hamilton Beach 63395 is a compact, budget-friendly stand mixer with a 300-W motor and a 4-quart stainless-steel bowl, offering planetary mixing and seven speeds. Its lower power and smaller capacity limit heavy-duty or large-batch baking. Best suited for beginner or casual home bakers with limited counter space.

Professional reviewers commend the Artisan's all-metal build, 59 touchpoints, and 10-speed planetary action, noting it delivers durable, versatile performance for home bakers and earns the #1 mixer brand reputation. However, they caution that its 0.19 hp motor and tilt-head design limit its suitability for heavy-duty, high-volume professional use.
Everyday users praise the mixer's reliable mixing of large cookie batches, the convenience of the tilt-head, and the variety of color options, while repeatedly mentioning wobble under heavy loads, motor strain on dense doughs, and the tall raised height as common pain points.
