Ankarsrum 6 Qt. Plastic Bowl

It took some time for me to get use to the Ankarsrum mixer after using a Kitchen Aide all my life, but I like the power and dependability of this mixer. It is hard for me to decide what to mix in the plastic bowl and what to mix in the large bowl, and I guessed wrong with some stiff cookie dough, and I ended up with a cracked plastic bowl. I am very happy with the Ankarsrum system, but I wish the accessories were not so expensive.

I received this appliance as a gift for Christmas 2018. The bowl lasted about a year when I noticed a crack at the base where the center post and the bowl proper meet. This, to me, is the weakest part of the bowl and possibly a design flaw. I use this bowl 5-6 times a week and love it. Knowing that it can crack where it did, I bought 2, so that if one breaks I have a backup.

I am very pleased with the product and the service. I wanted a second bowl, other vendors were offering it only with beaters at a higher price or some vendors were cheaper but I didn't trust it would be a true Ankarsrum product, not a made in China counterfeit. Highly recommend Pleasant Hill.

I purchased the extra mixing bowl and whisks for my Ankarsrum so I could keep moving on multi-part recipes. Great price from Pleasant Hill Grain too!!

This is no reflection on Pleasant Hill Grain. They have a great website and I got my bowl in a timely manner and it was well packaged. My average rating has to do with the plastic quality of the bowl and that is more on the manufacturer. The Ankarsum mixer overall Is great for mixing tough doughs and outshines the Kitchen Aid in that realm for sure. I have broken a few Kitchen Aid’s in my day because the internal gears can’t handle the torque. Ankarsum is much better in that realm but when it comes to mixing cake batter and cookie doughs I feel like the plastic bowl that Ankarsum provides is a bit awkward to scrape down and I have cracked a plastic bowl mixing chocolate chip cookie dough. I much prefer the metal bowl and paddle attachment of the Kitchen Aid to the Ankarsum plastic bowl and beaters. I feel like at 60-70 dollars for the bowl it should be more durable and I would prefer it be made out of stainless steel but they don’t make this bowl in that material. Overall, I love the Ankarsum mixer as I said it far exceeds the Kitchen Aid in being able to mix bread dough and I don’t feel like I’m going to break it but when I go to mix cookie doughs with chunks of chocolate, fruit and/or nuts the plastic bowl you have to use leaves a bit to be desired.

I purchased my mixer used almost 20 years ago- it still works great? Didn't come with any of the whisk components so it was great to be able to purchase them from Pleasant Hill Grain. They were a reasonable price and arrived quickly and in great condition. Great value and customer service!!!

Nice to know where to go to find real quality products at fair prices. My bowl shipped quickly, was nicely packaged, and has been working great! Thanks for selling the bowl only, which was all that I needed. Pleasant Hill rocks!

Very informative and helpful. Kept me up to date on my order.

Very quick service. Nice to find a source for Ankarsrum accessories and bread supplies.

I cracked my original bowl making cookies. Not once but twice. Time for a new one and I was thrilled to find just the bowl without the attachments. This bowl seems heavier than my original but perhaps it is just my imagination. In any event, thrilled with my purchase and quick delivery! I could not have asked for more!
