Hi Jo, The main difference is that the food processor has one dicer, but has an adjustable slicer. This is different to the rotor shredder which is just one slicer thickness and two size graters.

Hi Jenni, The stainless steel 4.8L bowl and pouring shield will fit the KSM156, the glass bowl is 4.7L as it is slightly thicker.

Hi Caroline, our Mixer's themselves do not do the things you have listed, but our attachments which you can purchase and use with the Stand Mixer certainly can. From what you have asked I can recommend the food processor attachment, the slicer/shredder attachment and the mincer/grinder attachment. You can find all of these and more on our website here; https://kitchenaid.com.au/products/stand-mixer-attachments

Hi there, The Artisan Stand Mixer model 125 and 175 are not available in Australia, we only distribute the KSM150,160 and 156 tilt-head model Stand Mixers. The only difference between these machines is the accessories and the colour palette range. Hope this helps, Kind Regards, The KitchenAid Team.

The KSM150, KSM160 and KSM156 all have the same direct drive motor and wattage of these machines is 300 watts. The only difference between machines is the colour range and accessories included. The Candy Apple Red only comes in the Platinum range (KSM156) with the Glass Bowl. The difference between this colour and the Empire Red is slight, however the Candy Apple Red is a deeper red. Another difference regarding colour selection is that the platinum range feature a two-coat metallic finish that the KSM150 and 160 do not. The KitchenAid KSM150,160 and 156 have a direct drive motor and does not have any belts in the motor making the stand mixer more energy efficient and quieter. A belt drive motor will drop in wattage during use where the direct drive motor has constant wattage during use i.e. the direct drive motor will not fluctuate in wattage during use. A direct drive mechanism is one that takes the power coming from a motor without any reductions such as a gearbox for example. Some of the advantages of a direct drive motor are increased efficiency, reduced noise, longer life as having fewer parts also means it is less prone to failure, high torque at low rpm, faster and precise positioning and drive stiffness which means mechanical backlash, hysteresis and elasticity is removed avoiding use of gearbox or ball screw mechanisms. The maximum capacity for any bread doughs in these machines are 1.12kg combined weight. Hope this helps! Kind Regards, The KitchenAid Team.

Hi Marie, The KSM150 and 5KSM150 are the exact same machine. Any attachment (including the dough hook, wire whisk, flat beater and Flex edge beater) that fits the KSM150 (or 5KSM150) will also fit the 5KSM156/155 model (with glass bowl)
The 5KSM150,160 and 156/155 models all have the same direct drive 300W motor, speed, mixing capacity and capability and warranty period. Hoping this assists you! Kind Regards, The KitchenAid Team

Hi Efrat, the KSM15, KSM110, KSM103, KSM75, KN15 are not models sold in Australia therefore we cannot guarantee attachments for these models are compatible with the KSM150. Models and parts that are purchased overseas are also unfortunately not covered by warranty in Australia. The product code for a wire whisk for the KSM150 is K45WW and the RRP is $39.00. You can purchase a wire whisk for your machine here in Australia from any of our stockists/retailers (see link below) or by contacting KitchenAid directly on 1800 990 990 or 49026500.

Hi Sean,

Thanks for your question. The difference between the two models is that the KSM160 comes with two bowls a 4.8L and a 2.8L and the KSM150 only comes with the 4.8L. Hope this helps.
