Question 1

what the difference between 6230 and 6220

Accepted Answer

The 6220 has plastic control knobs and a 5 year warranty. The new 6230 model has all metal control knobs, and more comfortable shaped knob for tightening the mixing arm as well as a 7 year warranty. Those are the only different here in the North American model. In Europe there was an increase in the motor wattage but no changes to the motor here in the US and Canada.

Question 2

This machine gets great reviews for making bread but what about other baking tasks like making cakes and cookies?

Accepted Answer

The reason I bought this mixer is because I was tired of stopping my KitchenAid to add ingredients and scrap down the sides. This mixer is well thought out. I have used the cake bowl and beaters which worked just fine. What I like is the two different beater choices for the heaviness of the cake or cookie batter.  Plus it makes excellent bread without having to knead by hand.  I LOVE this mixer!

Question 3

Sometimes the switch fails to turn the machine on, however if it is turned off then wait about 10 seconds it works fine. Is this normal?

Accepted Answer

I would say this is definitely not normal.  It is my understanding that the circuit board in some 2018 models have been faulty.  I would contact the manufacturer directly.  I love my Ankarsrum.

Question 4

Which attachment works best for creaming butter/sugar (+ adding flour for cookies)?  Is this mixer even appropriate for this type of baking?

Accepted Answer

I have never used the clear bowl and cookie whisks on mine, because I only use the metal bowl with the roller and scraper.  If the butter is appropriately softened, then it works great.  I love it. Watch videos on YouTube because there is a learning curve.
