Essential Package

Questions before you buy
Ankarsrum® stand mixer FAQ
Is the Ankarsrum® good for fresh milled flour?
Yes. We love it for fresh flour. Its roller and scraper mimic hand kneading, so you can often use less flour, and the motor is quiet and strong enough that it doesn’t need to take breaks while it kneads.
How much dough can the Ankarsrum® mix?
The 7-Liter Stainless Steel Bowl handles up to 5 kg (11 lbs.) of dough and recipes with up to 1.5 liters of liquid. That’s enough for a triple batch of our Simple Sandwich Bread dough.
Should I use the Dough Roller or the Dough Hook?
The Dough Roller is the signature Ankarsrum® tool. It gently works dough against the side of the turning bowl, much like kneading by hand, and it also whips cream and egg whites. The Dough Hook is made for heavy doughs, like bagels, pretzels and brioche.
What comes with the Ankarsrum® Essential Package?
The Essential Package includes a 7-Liter Stainless Steel Bowl, Dough Roller, Dough Knife, Dough Hook, Spatula, Proofing Lid and a Digital Recipe Book. The Unsifted® App and Unsifted® Recipe Cards are separate, optional purchases, there if you ever want extra help.
Do Unsifted® Recipe Cards work with the Ankarsrum®?
Yes. Unsifted® Recipe Cards are an optional add-on, sold separately from the mixer. If you’d like them, the yeasted breads have Ankarsrum® speed, timing and kneading tips written on the card, so you don’t have to adapt a stand mixer recipe yourself.
What is the Ankarsrum® hub in the Unsifted® App?
It’s an optional hub in the Unsifted® App (sold separately), made just for the Ankarsrum® mixer, with videos and helpful tips for whenever you want extra help. It shows Simple Sandwich Bread and Pumpkin Bread being made in the Ankarsrum®, and turns the questions we get most into short videos. We keep adding videos as new questions come in. The Unsifted® App is also where all of our new recipes are released first.
Where can I ask questions after my Ankarsrum® arrives?
You can always email the Unsifted Team. If you’d like more support, the Unsifted® App (sold separately) also has a community forum where families share what they make and help each other.
Is the Ankarsrum® loud?
No. The motor is quiet, and the gear system is powerful yet quiet, and the motor in the base adjusts its power to the load as you knead.
What is the Ankarsrum® warranty?
The Ankarsrum® manufacturer’s warranty covers the motor base assembly for 7 years and other parts for 1 year.
Where does my Ankarsrum® ship from?
Ankarsrum® mixers aren’t stocked at the Unsifted® storefront. When you order here, your mixer is drop shipped directly to you from the official Ankarsrum® warehouse, with FREE shipping.
Can I see an Ankarsrum® in person?
Yes. Our storefront opens one Saturday a month for local pickup, and you can see our demo Ankarsrum® mixer and the Ankarsrum® color wheel, a small paper ring of color swatches. Our local pickup page lists the next date. Mixers and attachments aren’t available for pickup, so your order ships to you from Ankarsrum®.

Customer Reviews
Enjoying the new mixer...such a big upgrade for my bread making!
Customer service and communication was outstanding.
I got an artise Nutrimill mixer and sent it back because with just 2 loaves of bread the motor would bog out. I bit the bullet and spent the money for the Ankarsrum and there was just no comparison. It’s built like a diesel truck. WOW! Easy to operate too! Fast delivery!
Works great! Easy setup.
An amazing machine! Debated for a while if I would replace my kitchen aid with the same or this when it finally stopped working. After lots of reading, I went with the Ankarsrum and am very happy with the choice.
