Convert a Kitchen Aid Mixer to Hand Crank | Off-Grid
For our customers who want to convert their KitchenAid mixers to hand crank for off-grid use, your wait is now over!
Since we introduced the Kitchen Aid hand-crank conversion mixer, many customers have asked whether we can convert an existing Kitchen Aid to a hand-crank model.Â
Â
Our Amish machine shop can convert both the Classic and Artisan KitchenAid mixers to hand-crank models for off-grid use.Â
Â
This is not a kit for converting a mixer; the internal components must be carefully machined, and the new gear set installed.

Description / Convert a Kitchen Aid Mixer to Hand Crank | Off-Grid
Mixers must be in good condition, meaning they have not been dropped, damaged, or subjected to a fire or flood. (The electric motor does not have to be functional).Â
Â
The conversion process is internal only; no exterior refurbishing or rebuilding will be provided.
Â
We cannot be responsible for replacing a mixer that is lost in transit. We will convert another mixer, but will not replace the one lost should that occur.
Â
The electric motor will be replaced with a heavy-duty gear set and an adjustable-speed chrome-plated hand crank. These gear sets are handmade in an Amish machine shop, one at a time, making these conversions relatively expensive but well worth it, as there will never be an electric motor to wear out.
Â
It functions just like the electric mixer. The creative, adjustable crank handle lets you adjust the speed, so you don't have to crank faster for whipping. Loosen the black set screw at the end of the crank to adjust the handle speed for whipping cream and sauces, or slow the speed for bread dough and cookie mixes.
Â
Please note: In the hand-crank conversion and gearing configuration, the top docking port for the KitchenAid attachments will no longer be functional on the mixer.
Â
Once converted, the mixer cannot be restored to electricity.
Â
The converted model will hold a one-year free repair warranty. (Shipping is not included.) After one year, our Amish shop will repair at cost for parts, labor, and shipping.
Â
The warranty is subject to inspection for abnormal use or abuse of the machine, or for dropping it. Â
Place your conversion purchase here, and we will email you the shipping address.
Â
The mixer will need to be shipped in a sturdy box lined with at least 2" of Styrofoam packing on all sides; extra charges may apply for having to repack in a new box to ship back. We cannot assume responsibility for damage to or loss of packages during UPS return shipping.
Â
Customers should expect a 6-10-week turnaround for this small Amish shop to complete the conversion and ship the mixer back.
Â
We also sell our very popular Little Dutch Maid Mixer.

The most excited investment I've made this year!

A simple hand-crank conversion to open you a new world of possibilities! Now I can hand-crank on almost everything I can think of a KitchenAid mixer can do, not only dough making or cream whipping, I can churn butter, make ice cream, mill grain, grind meat to make sausages, making pasta... I never could dream about all the things can be done on ONE mighty hand-crank machine! I love amish! They're the most creative people in the US! Not even mentioned about how efficient the gear they use to convert it, an easy one crank can make 6 turns of the attachment! I hope I can get another one for spare!
