Our verdict
Where it wins
- Same tilt-head design and attachment hub as the pricier Artisan, on a lighter base
- 10 speeds cover everything from folding flour to whipping cream
- 4.5 quart bowl is enough for most cookie and cake batches
- Costs noticeably less than the 5 quart Artisan at the same retailer
Where it loses
- 300 watt motor is on the low end for the Classic and Ultra tier, so it labors on stiff dough
- 4.5 quart bowl is tight for doubled bread recipes or large family batches
- Only a 1 year limited warranty
- Fewer color options than the Artisan line
The Ultra Power Plus is the mixer to buy when you want KitchenAid's tilt-head design and attachment ecosystem without paying Artisan prices, and most cookie, cake and pancake-batter jobs never notice the smaller motor. Anyone who bakes bread weekly or wants a bigger bowl should size up to the 5 or 6 quart Artisan instead, since this base runs out of torque first.

Common questions
How is this different from the KitchenAid Artisan?
It uses a smaller 4.5 quart bowl and a slightly lower-rated 300 watt motor instead of the Artisan's 5 quart bowl and 325 watts, and it comes in a shorter list of colors. The tilt-head design and attachment hub work the same way on both.
Can it knead bread dough?
It comes with an S-dough hook and can knead a single loaf, but the lower-wattage motor works harder on stiff or doubled dough than the Artisan or a bowl-lift model does.
What attachments are included in the box?
A coated flat beater, a coated S-dough hook, a 6-wire metal whip and the 4.5 quart stainless bowl. Hub-powered add-ons like a pasta roller or grinder are sold separately.
Is the Classic 4.5 quart mixer the same thing?
It is a close sibling in the same 4.5 quart tilt-head class. We could not verify a current retail price for the Classic model today, so this page tracks the Ultra Power Plus, which shares the bowl size, tilt-head design and attachment hub.
