Product Description

The Ankarsrum Assistent Original (AKM6230) Essential Package is a versatile stand mixer. The package includes the essential tools needed to knead, whip, and mix everything from bread dough to cake batters. You can also build your Assistent for the way you like to cook with optional accessories; make homemade ice cream, smoothies, fresh pasta, burgers, freshly squeezed juice, and so much more.

Unlike traditional stand mixers with the motor in the head, the Assistent Original has its motor in the base, creating a low center of gravity and exceptional countertop stability. The machine base is backed by a 7-year warranty.

At the heart of the original 1940 design is the Dough Roller, Ankarsrum's signature tool for kneading, mixing, and even whipping. As the stainless steel bowl rotates, the Dough Roller gently processes ingredients against the side of the bowl, mimicking the motion of hand kneading. The adjustable Dough Roller can also mix batters, whip cream and egg whites, and more. For bakers who prefer a different kneading method, the included Dough Hook makes it easy to choose the technique that works best for your recipe.

The motor automatically adjusts its power based on the load, while the unique gear system delivers powerful yet quiet operation. Two control knobs make operation simple: one provides variable speed control, while the other serves as the on/off switch and built-in timer.

The spacious 7-Liter Stainless Steel Bowl can handle up to 5 kg (11 lbs.) of dough and recipes with up to 1.5 liters of liquid.

The Assistent Original continues the tradition of the classic mixer once manufactured by Electrolux and is available in a wide range of colors. With Ankarsrum's extensive selection of optional attachments, its capabilities extend well beyond baking: fresh pasta, ice cream, pastries with cold butter, ground meat, shredded vegetables, or freshly squeezed citrus. Build your Assistent for how you like to cook.

What Each Tool Does

Assistent Original Stand Mixer — The unique rotating open bowl lets you add ingredients while the machine is running and watch progress. With the motor in the base, the Assistent stays firmly in place during use. Every unit is individually tested before leaving the factory. The 600-watt motor kneads up to 5 kg (11 lbs.) of dough with ease.

7-Liter Stainless Steel Bowl — Perfect for kneading dough, mixing cake batters, or whipping cream. Handles doughs with up to 1.5 liters of liquid; the 7-liter capacity covers small and large batches alike.

Dough Roller — The tool from the original 1940s design, used in Sweden ever since for most kneading, whipping, and mixing. It replicates the rhythmic motion of a baker's fist, treating the dough gently while promoting even gluten development. Also whips cream and egg whites, mixes cake batters and cookie doughs, whips potatoes, and mixes ground meat for meatballs or sausage. Recommended for small and large batches, including high-liquid doughs.

Dough Hook — An alternative kneading style that works the dough by pulling it. Ideal for dense, heavy doughs such as rye, wholemeal, bagel, pretzel, and brioche, and recommended for large doughs.

Dough Knife — Use with the Dough Roller or Dough Hook to move the dough toward the middle of the bowl. Continuous scraping keeps every ingredient incorporated so the dough comes out smooth and even.

Spatula — Its specially shaped edge fits the corners of the bowl to gather all the dough, and its notch fits the Dough Roller for easy cleanup. Also ideal for dividing dough and portioning buns.

Proofing Lid — Place on the Stainless Steel Bowl while the dough rises to prevent it from drying out and ensure an even proof.

Digital Recipe Book — 34 recipes with detailed instructions and helpful tips, from bread and baked goods to dinners and drinks.
