Rated 4 out of 5 by Ritarina from Easy to use sifting and weighing functions I used my Artisan Mini with KitchenAid Sifter + Scale Attachment to make Sunday morning pancakes for the family. It was so easy! The scale provides accurate measurement of each ingredient. The top container holds the flour, salt, sugar and baking power. When I turned on the mixer to begin sifting, I suddenly realized the sifter shoot is too short to reach the Artisan Mini bowl, but I quickly solved this by removing the wire whip and moved the bowl so the sifter shoot reached over the bowl. It took only a few minutes to add ingredients with proper amounts, sift, and mix. The pancakes were delicious!

Rated 5 out of 5 by KhadijaR from Just what I needed! The product is just what I needed in my kitchen! I bake a lot and sometimes even though I used to measure my ingredients, the recipes used to be a bit off. But not anymore! The weigh scale helps in accurately weighing all ingredients and the sifter helps in adding dry ingredients directly in the batter which helps in fluffy cakes. The sifter also minimizes the use of another tool. I love my stand mixer and this scale / sifter is a wonderful attachment to add to my kitchen aid collection!

Rated 2 out of 5 by Tinn from Disappointed with advertisement Sieve is not small enough to make macarons, I don't know why they would add that in their video ad but it is not fine enough. They come out lumpy. This requires a lot of cleaning as flour gets stuck in between each little compartment that you have to pick apart in order to clean. It also requires a lot of attention to make sure flour goes through. Dealing with customer service with this product was disappointing and frustrating as well.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ibaez from Great feautures I loved the fact that it was an easy set up and included sifter. What threw me off was that the scale is sensitive to touch and flucatuates a lot with movement. Mildly moving the mixer or tapping ten flour container would change the weight on the scale. What I did love however, is eliminating using a separate bowl for dry ingredients as I did previously before I had a mixer. Clean up was a breeze and I love that the pieces are dishwasher friendly

Rated 1 out of 5 by Stover from Terrible Experience I bought this for my wife for our anniversary and when she opened it, it looks like it was a return product. it was already put together and the first half the instructions complete. On top of that it would not power on and the screw to get into the battery compartment is so tight that it won't open; I cannot try to open it anymore without risk of stripping it. Terrible purchase - customer service is only open Mon-Friday. I will be returning it and will post a review when I get a working product. If I wanted to get a used product I would have ordered on Amazon or Ebay.

Rated 1 out of 5 by gtownamo from Don't bother I don't want to burst anyone's bubble but I returned my sifter attachment. I am a gadget guru and thought this was going to be an amazing attachment. It is too much trouble to assemble and have to measure the flour first before adding. It is supposed to measure it but it goes way too fast and if you have extra it is hard to put back. When I was adding the flour it flew off the mixer and 1 1/2 cups of flour went everywhere. It took 1 hours to clean up. This is way to much tourble to use. I will be back to measuring and sifting the old fashioned way.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Sofi from Great attachment - makes baking easier I was asked to review this product by KitchenAid. I found the sifter and scale easy to assemble and attach to the mixer. However, the first mistake I made was putting the sugar through the sifter. I was more trying to use the scale and didn’t realize whatever is poured in had to go through the sifter. Once I was over that hurdle, I found it made my life so much easier. I used a measuring cup before pouring into the sifter/scale since the recipe I was using indicated imperial measurement. What I truly liked about the sifter/scale was that it gradually added the flour, baking powder, etc. to the mixture, this allowed it to be well blended and without lumps. I plan to use the sifter/scale again this weekend using a recipe where I can actually using the scale measurement.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AboundingJoy from Game changer! I ordered this attachment immediately after getting the notice from Kitchen-Aid that it was available. I bake a lot and loathe sifting dry ingredients. It’s the necessary “evil” of good baking. I used it to sift the dry ingredients for Italian Macarons. They turned out AMAZING! This attachment saved me so much time and produced a finely sifted batch. I will be encouraging all my baking friends to purchase one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Vbuckner from Easy to use! I received this attachment to use and review, at no cost to me. I like to bake but really hate to sift! In fact, most of the time I just give the ingredients a stir. This attachment is super easy to assemble, use and clean. There is a conversion chart included for the measuring portion of different types of flour. This attachment is probably my favorite. If you bake at all, this is a great investment!

Rated 5 out of 5 by RLMJ from So helpful! Wanted it as soon as I heard about it. I have the uncommon model KSM6573, the Professional HD 6000, which is a 6.5 qt, narrow bowl lift model, with the fluted edge bowl. This attachment works great with that model. Adding dry ingredients was always awkward & messy, since the configuration of my model has just a small, narrow gap between the planetary head and the bowl rim, and there are no pouring shields that fit the fluted bowl, so you're stuck with stop, lower the bowl & add, or putting ingredients onto wax or parchment paper, and carefully pouring in thru the narrow gap. I do a lot of baking, mostly breads & cakes, so this was frustrating - but this is the best model for the heavy bread doughs I work with, so I dealt with it. But, since getting this attachment, WOW! Every bit of flour easily goes into the center of the bowl, so it's consistently mixed with wet ingredients and doesn't pouf out in a big cloud, either. No spills, no stopping to scrape the bowl to incorporate the flour, and it's a faster & more consistent method, so I'm not over mixing doughs and batters because it's taking too long to add in all the flour. Thus, my breads & cakes have a better texture & rise, too. This does the job well - even for delicate macarons. I found the entire unit easy to operate, clean and assemble/dissemble, and the scale was accurate when compared to my stand alone scales. TIPS: KEEP THE INGREDIENT VALVE CLOSED UNTIL YOU'VE FINISHED WEIGHING - weights will be more accurate, and it's easier to remove any excess. When finished, give a quick stir, then open the valve. ADJUST THE SHUTE BEFORE OPENING THE INGREDIENT VALVE - Use the black tab on the side of the metal shute to extend & retract the shute, and to swivel it left/right, so it hits your bowl in just the right spot. CLEANING: If you must do multiple recipes in quick succession, tap the unit lightly on the side with a spatula or spoon handle to shake out any ingredient residue, quickly brush out each part with a clean, dry paint or basting brush between recipes. When washing, dissemble the attachment. The scale section can be wiped with a damp cloth, while the other pieces should be lightly tapped over the sink to remove any hidden ingredient residue. That is important - if you don't do this first, when you wash/rinse them, residue may cake or form clumps that will stick to the unit and harden when dry. All pieces must be completely dry before use, otherwise, ingredients will stick, clump & cake. IF YOU ARE PETITE/SHORT: Attach only the sifter/shute sections to the mixer. Use the hopper and scale on the counter to weigh your ingredients, then stop the mixer, attach the scale & hopper to the sifter unit, restart the mixer, and open the ingredient valve. Why? This attachment is tall, and may make it difficult for you to use for weighing ingredients while attached to the mixer, unless you have one of the smaller models, or your mixer is on table or shelf lower than typical kitchen counter. My mixer is 16.5" tall. When attached, the hopper opening rises 6.5" above the mixer, and the scale readout is 3" above the top of the mixer. For me, that means the hopper opening is 23" above my counter, or 60' (5 ft) from my floor. That's higher than the bottom shelf in a wall cabinet. I'm 5'9", so it's perfect for me, and brings the scale readout closer to my middle-aged eyes, which is great. A shorter person might find it difficult to view the scale readout at that height, and could find it difficult not to bump the hopper while adding ingredients, thus affecting the scale accuracy. VOLUME/WEIGHT CONVERSIONS: King Arthur Flour has a great list for converting volume measurements (cups & spoons) to weights (grams & ounces) for many different types of flour and other ingredients, and even have tips for adjusting dry ingredient weights to account for changes in humidity. (Not to mention a lot of great recipes).
