Ankarsrum Assistant Original Stand Mixer, Nordic Sage

The Ankarsrum Assistent Original Stand Mixer, Nordic Sage is the Swedish stand mixer for people who truly love to bake.

The first thing to know is that Ankarsrum mixes unlike other stand mixers. The 7L stainless steel bowl rotates, while the arm, roller and scraper stay in place. It feels unusual at first if you are used to a tilt-head mixer. Then you watch a dough come together without climbing a hook, and it starts to make sense!

• 7L stainless steel bowl for large batches
• Powerful 1500W motor in the base
• Rotating bowl with fixed mixing arm
• Includes dough, whisking and beating tools
• Soft Nordic Sage Swedish colour finish

The roller and scraper let you adjust how the dough moves, which is especially useful with wet sourdoughs and heavier wholegrain mixes. There is also a dough hook for firmer doughs, plus a 3.5L beater bowl with whisks and beaters for cream, eggs, cakes and biscuits.

The built-in timer is extremely useful. The machine stops when the time is up. It is also known for being steadier and less noisy than many high-power mixers, which matters more than you think when dough needs a long knead.

Meet the maker: Ankarsrum

A household name in Sweden, the Ankarsrum Assistent Original has been in continuous production since 1940. It was first developed in Sweden by civil engineer Alvar Lenning, who was asked to turn a large professional bakery machine into something smaller, neater, and useful at home.

That origin still makes sense when you see how it works. The bowl rotates. The scraper helps guide the dough. The machine is known for taking on heavy bread doughs and larger batches without making a drama of it. The mixers are designed, manufactured and assembled there by hand.
