I want to mix cookie dough and cake batter using the 7 liter bowl, do I have to switch to the smaller bowl to use the "double beater with a 3.5 L bowl"?

Julia, The double beaters can only be used in the smaller (3.5L) bowl, and is suitable for very light and pourable batters. The double beaters are not suitable for heavy cookie doughs, such as chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin cookies, so we recommend mixing those in the 7L stainless steel bowl with the roller/scraper attachment.

I have the Artisan Mixer. I love this smaller bowl for smaller mixing quantities. I would advise you contact KitchenAid to see if the bowl is compatible with your particular mixer before you purchase.

No. Only the 7-quart bowl fits for now. All smaller bowls are too shallow. I recommend you call KitchenAide customer service. They have the most up to date info.

I just purchased this mixer, works great for cookie baking. Sounds like you need a heavier duty mixer.

Yes, that is what I use and it works fine. Because the bowls are a bit shallow, just make sure that when you are mixing it doesn't slosh out of the bowl.

You can also adjust the height of your bowl with the small screw that is located on the mixer. here is a video link on how to from Kitchenaid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocnETNExLc0

I tried to find the size of the large mixing bowl but couldn't. I can tell you it is larger and deeper than the old Sumbeam mixer which I once owned. The bowl does turn when the beaters are running.

I was told all but the flat beater was the same for the 5 qt Artisan and the 4.5 qt Ultra Power. Since the bowls will work from one to the other as well, I have never tried this but was told by Kitchen Aid rep, I suspect the flat beater would work as well.

I had the 6qt mixer when I purchased this, the machines and attachments are exactly the same size. The only thing that is different is the height of the bowl (above the clips to attach it to the machine). This means the only difference between the two bowls is the gap between the top of the bowl and the machine. At least the 6qt bowl (as well as it's attachments) work with the 7qt machine.

We returned the Kitchenaide Flex Edge beater because it did not work with our mixer. My wife has the larger mixer (600?) with the six quart bowl and the beater did not work properly with our bowls.

Not that I'm aware of, as the bowl attaches to the arms of the mixer by tabs welded on the 7qt bowl. Any other sized bowl would not fit into the arms of the 7qt mixer. Also, the bowls of the smaller mixer do not attach in the same manner.

I have the same problem. The slow speed it way too fast for a cake mix, and normally a "middle" speed is what you use for that. This one can NEVER blend dry ingredients and is way too fast for wet ingredients. When it starts on low speed, the liquids are thrown to the edge of the bowl and whirl around like a tornado! The ingredients hardly touch the beaters because the ingredients are moving way too fast at the outer edges of the bowl.

With just a little practice, you can make less than 2 inch cookies with this scoop- try leveling the scoop with the top of the mixing bowl as you withdraw the scoop. I use a rather heavy batter and make considerably larger cookies most of the time,with a rounded scoop full- good luck! JBH

I have a 5 qt size and it works great, haven't tried it in the smaller bowl accessory yet.

I would say No. This style is definitely for the smaller bowl, at least the 2 I bought were. Maybe Kitchenaid has expanded to the 5 Qt size though. I wish they would. I have that size too.

Yes. It's called a "batter bowl" because it is good for that type of mixing.
