What to know about NutriMill Artiste NMA6001-BLK

A lightweight bottom-drive mixer with a 6.5-qt BPA-free bowl, rated for 6–8 lb of dough. ATK named it 'Best Lighter-Weight Mixer' (Recommended): it kneaded bagel and pizza dough and aced its whipping tests. It is a lower-cost alternative to the Bosch.
Editorial notes

Why it stands out

Why we like it

ATK (Recommended, Best Lighter-Weight Mixer) found it kneaded bagel and pizza dough and aced its whipping tests. Pulling Curls, which used a review unit, judged its motor less robust than the Bosch's.

It costs far less than anything else in this guide and is in stock on Amazon.

What to know

Skip it if you want a long-term heavy-use machine. The warranty is 1 year, ATK says the plastic bowl may crack, and some owners report longevity problems. A stainless bowl costs extra. Attachment swaps are cumbersome.
