The verdict

Why it scored a 78

At $349.99, the KitchenAid Artisan Mini KSM3316X is the pick for small kitchens: the Artisan's metal build and full-size attachment hub in a 14-pound body that fits under cabinets, with the Flex Edge scraper beater included. Satisfaction at 96 and Reliability at 93 track 3,837 ratings at 4.8 stars. Value drops to 72 because the 250 W motor and 3.5-quart bowl cap you at about one loaf of bread or five dozen cookies, it can walk on the counter with stiff dough, and there is no pouring shield. Warranty stays at 55 for one year. It suits a one- or two-person household that bakes regularly and is short on space.
