Ankarsrum Essential Stand Mixer

Swedish-designed. Baker beloved.

The Ankarsrum Essential Stand Mixer is the kind of mixer that changes the way you bake. We fell head over heels for this incredibly powerful Swedish-designed stand mixer, which handles doughs with a level of ease and performance unlike anything else we’ve tried. Made and loved in Sweden since 1940, it brings decades of thoughtful engineering into a modern, baker-focused essential.
Its unique design is inspired by professional spiral mixers, with a large, stable base that stays firmly in place and a wide bowl that makes it easy to add ingredients and watch doughs and batters come together. Strong, steady, and remarkably efficient, it consistently delivers excellent results—especially for bread bakers. Our breads rose higher and developed better texture when mixed with this machine.
While it truly shines with heavier doughs and yeasted bakes, it’s also wonderfully versatile, handling everything from cookie doughs to cake batters with ease. Its high capacity makes it easy to mix larger batches, and its durable chrome and steel construction is built to last. The clever movable arm system holds the roller and scraper in place, working together to knead and mix simultaneously for beautifully developed dough every time.
