Which KitchenAid bowl and ice cream attachment fit which mixer?
Last checked 2026-10-03.
By KitchenAid's own statements, the KSMICM ice cream bowl fits all three KitchenAid mixers here, and the K5THSBP 5-qt bowl fits the two tilt-heads (Artisan KSM150PS, Classic K45SS) but not the bowl-lift KSM55. For the Cuisinart SM-50BK no source settles either, so those cells say unknown. KitchenAid's own rule is that bowls fit one of three mixer types, bowl-lift, tilt-head or mini tilt-head, and are not interchangeable between them.

Which complete setups work
Each mixer already includes its own bowl, flat beater, dough hook and whip. The table below is the mixer plus both optional accessories; the checker lets you pick.
| Mixer | With both accessories |
|---|---|
| Artisan KSM150PS | every accessory stated to fit |
| Classic K45SS | every accessory stated to fit |
| Bowl-Lift KSM55 | no complete setup: an accessory does not fit |
| Cuisinart SM-50BK | fit unconfirmed: K5THSBP 5-qt bowl, KSMICM ice cream bowl |
Without JavaScript the checker does not update; the table above is complete. An accessory that does not fit is reported as such; an unknown fit is named, never shown as a fit.
Bowl sizes are nominal capacities. Batch figures are the manufacturer's own (KitchenAid gives them; Cuisinart does not on its page). We tested nothing: this page makes no claim about power, noise, durability or baking results.
