QuestionWhat color is INK BLUE? Is it bright or more muted like a navy blue--5.5 Quart Bowl-Lift Mixer? Also, why is this mixer $100.00 less than the KitchenAid - Artisan Series 5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer
Asked 2 years ago by Bee.
This question was asked about the related product: KitchenAid - 5.5 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer - Ink Blue
- Answer Ink blue is a deep, dark purplish blue. Very pretty. Usually this mixer is more costly than the Artisan tilt heads. The bowl lift mixers have a stronger motor than the tilt heads. They supposedly can handle thicker mixtures.

QuestionAre these new ir refurbished? What size motor?
Asked 2 years ago by WildChild.
- Answer Mine came brand new in the sealed factory carton. That was my concern as well. It's brand spanking new. It's much better than a tilt head model. (That's my subjective opinion.)

QuestionWhy is there a Prop 65 Warning? Is it the mixer or mixer parts?
Asked 3 weeks ago by Concerned.
- Answer The Prop 65 warning on KitchenAid stand mixers is a legal requirement in California to inform consumers about potential exposure to chemicals that may cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. This warning is not exclusive to KitchenAid products but is required for all products sold in California that contain trace amounts of substances deemed harmful. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) maintains the list of these substances and updates it regularly. While the warning label indicates the presence of lead, it is important to note that it does not mean that the product contains lead in a harmful amount. The warning is a precautionary measure to inform consumers about the potential risks associated with certain chemicals in their products.
