KitchenAid stand mixer accessories worth buying
Hub attachments fit every KitchenAid stand mixer. Bowls and beaters depend on your model, so check the code.
The KitchenAid stand mixer accessories most worth buying are the ones that turn the mixer into another appliance: the pasta roller, the vegetable slicer and the meat grinder all fit the power hub on the front of every KitchenAid stand mixer. A Flex Edge beater saves scraping the bowl, and a glass bowl lets you mix two things in a row. Bowls and beaters must match your mixer's size and model. These were selling on Amazon UK on 18 October 2026.

Hub attachments or bowl accessories?
- Hub attachments plug into the power hub on the front of the mixer head. KitchenAid says its hub attachments work with all KitchenAid stand mixer models.
- Bowls, beaters and pouring shields fit inside the bowl area, so they must match your mixer: tilt-head or bowl-lift, and the bowl size (for example 4.3L or 4.8L).
- Find your model code on the label under the base, such as 5KSM125 or 5KSM175.
Official or third-party?
- KitchenAid's own attachments cost more but are made to fit. Third-party pasta sets, pouring shields and slider mats are cheaper; check the listing names your mixer.
- The KitchenAid Artisan comes in many colours, including pistachio. Accessories are usually silver, white or clear, so colour is not a fit issue.

Questions people ask
Do KitchenAid attachments fit all models?
KitchenAid says its power hub attachments, such as the pasta roller and slicer, fit all KitchenAid stand mixers. Bowls and beaters are model-specific.
What is the best KitchenAid attachment?
For most people, the pasta roller or the vegetable slicer and shredder, because they replace whole appliances. The Flex Edge beater is the best everyday upgrade.
Can you get a wooden bowl for a KitchenAid?
Yes, wooden bowls for tilt-head KitchenAid mixers are sold by third-party makers on Amazon UK. Check the size (4.5 or 5 quart, roughly 4.3 or 4.8L) and that it is food safe.
Does the KitchenAid glass bowl fit the Artisan 4.8L?
The 4.7L glass bowl 5KSM5GB is listed for 4.3L and 4.8L tilt-head mixers, which includes the Artisan.
Is the KitchenAid Flex Edge beater worth it?
If you bake a lot, yes: it scrapes the bowl sides as it mixes so you stop less often. Check your model is listed.
