About this product
Meet the award-winning Ankarsrum Stand Mixer!
The Ankarsrum Assistent Original (AKM6230) Essential Package is a versatile stand mixer. The package includes the essential tools needed to knead, whip, and mix everything from bread dough to cake batters. You can also build your Assistent for the way you like to cook with our optional accessories; you can make homemade ice cream, smoothies, fresh pasta, burgers, freshly squeezed juice, and so much more.
The Ankarsrum Assistent Original is a powerful, versatile stand mixer with a distinctive design that has set it apart since 1940. Unlike traditional stand mixers with the motor in the head, the Assistent Original has its motor in the base, creating a low center of gravity and exceptional countertop stability. The machine base is backed by a 7-year warranty, adding confidence in its quality and durability.
At the heart of the original 1940 design is the Dough Roller, Ankarsrum’s signature tool for kneading, mixing, and even whipping. As the stainless steel bowl rotates, the Dough Roller gently processes ingredients against the side of the bowl, mimicking the motion of hand kneading for bread and other yeast doughs. The adjustable Dough Roller can also be used to mix batters, whip cream and egg whites, and more. For bakers who prefer a different kneading method, the included Dough Hook makes it easy to choose the technique that works best for your recipe.
The motor automatically adjusts its power based on the load, providing consistent performance as you mix and knead, while the unique gear system delivers powerful yet quiet operation. Two control knobs make operation simple: one provides variable speed control, while the other serves as the on/off switch and built-in timer.
The spacious 7-Liter Stainless Steel Bowl can handle up to 5 kg (11 lbs.) of dough, ideal for small and large batches. It can also accommodate recipes with up to 1.5 liters of liquid.

7-Liter Stainless Steel Bowl
Perfect for kneading dough, mixing cake batters, or whipping cream, its generous capacity is ideal for small and large batches. For dough preparation, use the Dough Roller, the tool from the original 1940s design, or the Dough Hook, for efficient and thorough kneading.
Handles Doughs with up to 1.5 Liters of Liquid: The bowl can accommodate doughs with up to 1.5 liters of liquid.
7-Liter Capacity: With a total volume of 7 liters, the Stainless Steel Bowl can knead, whip, and mix small and large batches with ease.
Dough Roller
The Dough Roller is a tool from the 1940s design and has been used in Sweden since then for most kneading, whipping, and mixing. The Dough Roller uniquely mimics the gentle action of hand kneading for developing strong gluten strands in your dough. It also stands out for efficiently whipping cream and egg whites and mixing cake batters and cookie doughs. You can use it to whip potatoes, mix ground meat for meatballs or sausage, and more.
Rhythmic Kneading Technique: A unique kneading method that replicates the rhythmic motion of a baker’s fist, delivering excellent results while treating the dough gently.
Promotes Gluten Development: Encourages even kneading and optimal gluten development for improved dough structure and texture.
Versatile Dough Handling: Recommended for small and large dough batches, including doughs with a high liquid content.
Dough Hook
The Dough Hook is an alternative kneading style that works the dough by pulling it, unlike traditional dough hooks. It’s used primarily for heavier bread that requires more power.
Ideal for Heavy Doughs: Perfect for dense, heavy doughs such as rye, wholemeal, bagel, pretzel and brioche, helping to develop the gluten effectively.
Recommended for Large Doughs
Dough Knife
Use the Dough Roller and the Dough Hook with the Dough Knife to move the dough toward the middle of the bowl. By continuously scraping the bowl, you ensure that all ingredients are fully incorporated, and the dough becomes smooth and even.
Spatula
Use the Spatula to easily gather all the dough. Its specially shaped edge fits perfectly into the corners of the bowl, ensuring that all the dough is incorporated. The Spatula’s notch fits the Dough Roller, making cleanup easy. It is also ideal for dividing dough and portioning buns.
Helps to Incorporate Dough: Specially shaped edge helps make sure dough is fully mixed
Dough Divider: Works perfectly for dividing buns and dough.
Proofing Lid
Place the Proofing Lid on the Stainless Steel Bowl while the dough is rising, preventing the dough from drying out and ensuring an even proof.
Protects the Dough: Prevents the dough from drying out.
Even Proofing: Ensures the dough rises evenly.
