An iconic kitchen appliance gets a major upgrade.
While previous versions of the mixer used an electromechanical control system inside, the new Artisan Plus features a microcontroller-based system
Yeah that’s gonna be a no for me, dog. Just waiting for next year’s version to ship with “Aidsy, our new AI cooking assistant!”
- Microcontroller complexity that affects repair.
- Mixing at a variable speed isn’t important to most home cooks.
- Bull crap with led lighting.
Thanks but no thanks. I’ll stick to my now two decades old kitchen aid that I’ve repaired a few times now without any issue.
“Upgrade”
While previous versions of the mixer used an electromechanical control system inside, the new Artisan Plus features a microcontroller-based system with a Hall effect sensor for more precision.
The new features sound nice, but the old system can last a lifetime. I don’t need everything around me to be “smart” and have more points of failure.
This would be so much more repairable as a potentiometer-opamp pair or similar depending on how it works.
💯 never have i ever worried about the precise speed.
