Ankarsrum Assistent Original Food Processor, 1500 W, 7 L, Royal Blue

The Ankarsrum Assistent Original 1500 W food processor is a versatile and powerful kitchen appliance designed to simplify baking and food preparation. As the latest iteration of the classic Assistent model, it combines a robust 1500 W motor with intelligent motor feedback, allowing the machine to automatically adjust its speed based on the load. Its unique gear system ensures high performance while maintaining a quiet operation, making it a reliable partner for both home cooks and baking enthusiasts.

Advantages

This food processor stands out due to its generous 7-litre stainless steel bowl, which is perfectly suited for handling large batches of dough, including up to 5 kg of dough at once. The machine is built with a stable, sleek design that remains firm on the worktop during operation. With its wide range of included accessories, such as dough rollers, hooks, and whisks, it offers exceptional versatility for tasks ranging from kneading heavy sourdough to whipping delicate creams. The inclusion of a 3.5 L Tritan whisking bowl further enhances its utility for smaller tasks, ensuring professional results every time.

Suitable for

• Kneading heavy bread doughs and sourdough
• Mixing sponge cakes and batters
• Whisking egg whites and creams
• Preparing large batches of dough
• Expanding functionality with optional attachments for grinding, pasta making, and citrus juicing

When it may not be suitable

This appliance may not be the best choice for users with very limited kitchen counter space due to its robust construction and size. Additionally, those who only require a basic mixer for occasional, very small-scale tasks might find its professional-grade capacity and extensive accessory set more than what is necessary for their daily needs.

Key specifications

• Power output: 1500 W
• Main bowl capacity: 7 litres
• Secondary bowl capacity: 3.5 litres
• Material: Stainless steel and chrome-plated zinc

How to use

To begin, place the base on a stable, flat surface. Attach the desired bowl and the appropriate tool, such as the dough roller or whisk, depending on your recipe. Add your ingredients and use the control knobs to select the desired speed. The machine's motor feedback system will automatically manage the power required for the consistency of your mixture. Once finished, use the included spatula to remove your ingredients easily. Always ensure the machine is unplugged before changing accessories or cleaning the bowls.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure you have sufficient storage space for the machine and its various accessories.
• Consider the volume of baking you typically perform to determine if the 7-litre capacity meets your requirements.
• Check the available colour options to ensure the unit complements your kitchen aesthetic.

Usage recommendations

For the best results, always follow the included Ankarsrum recipe book when using the specific attachments for the first time. Ensure that the dough hook or roller is correctly seated before starting the motor to maintain optimal performance and longevity of the gear unit.
