Published on 09/23/2026 at 20:56 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
KitchenAid Artisan Mini 3.5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer KSM3316XMS brings a compact tilt-head format to the US stand-mixer lineup. Its stainless steel bowl holds 3.5 quarts, and the mixer has 10 speeds for kneading, mixing, and whipping.
Compact Mixer Specifications
The mixer measures 12.3 inches in height, 7.8 inches in width, and 12.3 inches in depth, according to Consumer Reports. The same listing gives the model a 250-watt motor, a 17-pound weight, and a stainless steel bowl. Consumer Reports lists the dimensions and specifications.
The official KSM3316XMS page describes a 3.5-quart stainless steel bowl, a tilt-head design, 10 speeds, and metal construction. KitchenAid says the bowl can handle up to 5 dozen cookies in one batch when using the flat beater with 28-gram dough portions. KitchenAid gives the model's bowl capacity and batch claim.
Included Tools and Compatibility
The KSM3316XMS package includes the stand mixer, a 3.5-quart stainless steel bowl, a Flex Edge beater, a coated dough hook, and a 6-wire whip. The bowl is dishwasher safe, while the wire whip requires hand washing according to KitchenAid's product information.
The power hub accepts more than 10 optional KitchenAid attachments, including food grinders and pasta makers. KitchenAid's FAQ says the Artisan Mini works with hub-powered stand-mixer attachments but excludes bowl attachments such as the Ice Cream Maker and Precise Heat Mixing Bowl. KitchenAid documents attachment compatibility and cleaning details.
Price and Positioning
KitchenAid lists the Artisan Mini 3.5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer at $449.99 on its US stand-mixer lineup as of 09/23/2026. An independent US retail listing shows the KSM3316XWH white version at $449.95, while a KitchenAid page identifies the KSM3316XMS medallion silver model used for the specifications above.
The Mini sits below KitchenAid's larger 5-quart Artisan format in bowl capacity and footprint. Consumer Reports lists the full-size category comparison separately, while the Artisan Mini retains the same 10-speed control format and uses a smaller 3.5-quart bowl.
Who the Artisan Mini Fits
The Artisan Mini is aimed at small-batch baking and kitchens where a full-size stand mixer would take more counter space. Its 3.5-quart bowl, 250-watt motor, and 17-pound weight place it between a hand mixer and a larger tilt-head stand mixer in physical scale.
The practical limits are equally specific: the bowl is smaller than KitchenAid's 5-quart Artisan models, and several bowl-mounted accessories are excluded from compatibility. For cookies, whipped mixtures, standard doughs, and hub-powered attachments, the model offers a compact countertop setup; larger batch work calls for a larger bowl.
