Mixer Overview

Powerful Mixing Performance

To ensure it can fill numerous roles, KitchenAid has built the 5KSM3311X with variable speed settings through an intuitive control lever. These settings cover speeds from 1 to 10, varying the motor’s speed from a low of 40 rotations per minute up to a high of 200. As a result, the 5KSM3311X can easily switch between whipping air into cream or slowly kneading dough at a moment’s notice.

Although, while it’s important, speed isn’t everything when it comes to producing great results. To that end, the 5KSM3311X uses KitchenAid’s classic planetary mixing method to evenly mix and combine ingredients throughout the entire work bowl. This motion allows the mixing tool in use to make contact at 69 different points per full rotation, ensuring everything is combined equally.

Versatile Accessories

To facilitate its versatility, the KitchenAid 5KSM3311X is equipped with a range of useful accessories, including a:

• Wire whisk
• Dough hook
• Flat beater
• 3.3-litre stainless steel bowl

These accessories allow the 5KSM3311X to produce a wide range of products from whipped cream to smooth batters or even bread and pasta doughs. As a result, it’s an appliance that can be used in many applications for far more than just baking if desired.

Additionally, if you want to get even more from the 5KSM3311X stand mixer, KitchenAid produces a fantastic selection of optional attachments, These can be purchased alongside the mixer and can expand its functions even further to mix fresh ice cream, grind meat or even spiralize vegetables to name just a few uses.

High-Quality Materials

Guaranteeing the longevity of the 5KSM3311X, it has been built to a great standard from a range of premium materials all the way from the base to the accessories and mixing bowl.

The base itself is made entirely of die-cast metal coated in a smooth layer of high-quality paint in a range of KitchenAid’s classic colours. Beyond simply giving the mixer a premium feel, the use of metal for the base also allows it to stay grounded and sturdy, even at high power settings.

As for the accessories, these have been built from either stainless steel or BPA-free plastics. The 3.3-litre bowl and wire whisk fall into the steel group, ensuring they experience minimal wear, while the dough hook and flat beater are made of plastic, allowing them a bit of flexibility to improve their performance.

User-Friendly Design

Besides being well built, the 5KSM3311X is designed for user convenience and features a surprisingly useful tilt-head mechanism. This allows for the top of the unit to tip backwards and away from the mixing bowl, making it much easier to see how a mixture is progressing.

This design feature also makes removing the bowl much easier than a fixed head, which typically requires the mixing tool to be removed along with the bowl.
