Since I can remember, Kitchen Aid stand mixers have been the gold standard when it comes to countertop mixing appliances. However, I was recently able to borrow a Jenn-Air Atrezzi stand mixer and was pleasantly surprised by it’s design, performance and ease of use.
The mixer is very sleek, with a curved neck body and a stylish glass bowl. You can get the mixer in many different colors - with body colors ranging from classic white, black and stainless, to copper, brushed silver and more. The bowl also comes in many different colors, including basic clear as well as many hues such as turquoise, red, green, a modern multi-color pattern, a pretty coral etched pattern and more. My mixer was white with a turquoise bowl giving it a crisp, clean look.
The mixer comes with three attachments: a flat beater, wire whip, and dough hook. All the attachments are metal and are dishwasher safe, which I love!
The best feature of this mixer is the control mechanism. Instead of a lever on the side of the machine (like the one my Kitchen Aid Artisan mixer has), this machine features a dial on top that you can turn with the touch of a finger. I find that my Kitchen Aid’s lever require two hands to adjust with any accuracy, and even then, it’s easy to accidentally push the lever to higher speed than what I want. With the Jenn-Air Atrezzi mixer, it’s easy to turn the dial to the precise speed I want with one hand, and even just one finger.
I used the wire whip for whipping up some egg whites and it worked perfectly. I also use the flat beater attachment for mixing cake mixes, sugar cookie dough and brownie mixes and it’s worked great for everything, blending items perfectly and not skipping a beat, even when the dough becomes very thick.
There are three downsides to this mixer:
1. Price. The Jenn-Air Atrezzi is significantly more expensive than the Kitchen Aid Artisan mixer and though it has great style and I love the speed adjustment dial, it performs just as well as Kitchen Aid’s Artisan).
2. Weight. This mixer weight a TON! Well, maybe not literally, but I’m a 29-year-old person in relatively good shape, and it’s difficult for me to move this mixer from a counter top to a table, forget about trying to lift it out of a lower cabinet and up onto a countertop. If you want this mixer, you’ll want to be sure you can keep it out on a counter where you’re going to be using it and not have to move it around.
3. Glass bowl. The bowl seems really thick and sturdy, but it is made of glass. I’d feel better if it was made of metal, like the Kitchen Aid mixing bowls, since if this bowl breaks, the mixer will be useless until I can get a replacement.
