We earn from qualifying purchases through links on this page. How we make money.
KitchenAid attachments plug into the hub on the front of a stand mixer and use its motor, so there is nothing extra to charge or plug in. The range includes pasta makers, grinders and an ice cream maker. Check the fit notes before buying.
How the hub works
Under a cover on the mixer head sits the power hub. Open the cover, slot the attachment in and the mixer drives it. Wikipedia notes that hub attachments have been cross-compatible across generations since the 1930s, while beaters and bowls are not always interchangeable. KitchenAid itself says not all attachments fit every model, and its fit notes for the ice cream maker list mixers it does not work with, so read them before you buy.

What is on offer
KitchenAid’s attachment range covers a few jobs:
- Pasta: rollers, presses and cutter sets
- Meat and sausage: grinders and a sausage stuffer
- Vegetables: a slicer and shredder, plus a spiralizer
- Dessert and baking: an ice cream maker, a sifter with scale, and a food processor for the mixer
Which you need depends on what you cook. Pasta rollers and grinders are well-known add-ons, while a slicer suits anyone who cooks vegetables in bulk. If you do not own a mixer yet, start with the stand mixer guide, and see the KitchenAid hub for the rest.

Frequently asked questions
Do KitchenAid attachments need their own motor?
No. They run from the mixer's motor and connect to the power hub on the front of the mixer head.
Will an attachment fit my older mixer?
Usually, since hub attachments have stayed cross-compatible across generations, but KitchenAid says not all attachments fit every model. Check the fit notes for your model number.
