Just follow the instructions, be careful, and it works & looks great. Now my black KitchenAid looks just like Alton Brown’s! :-)
The KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer is a top quality, powerful free-standing mixer manufactured by the American owned and operated company KitchenAid. These mixers are designed to make preparing recipes for baking and cooking easy and convenient.
KitchenAid Artisan mixers save owners time because they feature a powerful 325 motor and 10 different mixing speeds. This motor makes mixing bread, cookie, pizza and other thick doughs easy work. There's no kneading, pounding or pressing, and you don't have to worry about your mixer burning out in the middle of preparing your favorite recipe. You can also easily adjust mixing speed to suit whatever type of dough, batter or ingredients you're mixing.
You don't have to hold on to this free-standing mixer as it works, or even monitor it closely. Your hands are free to collect artisan kitchenaid ingredients or arrange baking dishes. The KitchenAid Artisan is heavy and sturdy enough to stay stable and secure during even the heaviest mixing jobs.
KitchenAid Artisans come with a roomy 5 quart stainless steel mixing bowl, so you can mix up as much or as little dough, batter or other recipes as you like. You can prepare dough for several loaves of bread or up to 9 dozen cookies in one mixing session. This saves a great deal of time and makes preparing large quantities of food or large recipes simple.
The head that holds the Artisan's mixer attachments tilts back out of the bowl for easy access to both attachments and your mixture. You can easily change attachments without the need for tools. This mixer also includes a 1 piece pouring shield to prevent messy splatters and a large chute that makes adding ingredients easy and neat.
The KitchenAid Artisan is ideal for preparing doughs and batters, but it can also be used for a wide variety of other tasks. The Artisan comes with three attachments at the time of purchase: a flat beater, dough hook, and wire whip. These are the three attachments most commonly used by bakers. You can beat eggs, mix mashed potatoes, prepare bread or cookie dough and whip frosting or whipped cream with these attachments.
Additional accessories are available for sale that enable the Artisan to perform tasks such as chopping or shredding, juicing, pureeing, making many different types of pasta and even stuffing sausage. When you purchase a KitchenAid Artisan, you're investing in a machine that makes easy work and fast clean up of a variety of types of recipe and food preparation tasks
KitchenAid Professional 5 Plus 5 Quart Mixer **OR** KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixer?
Hi,I am considering buying a KitchenAid stand mixer. On Amazon.com these two mixers caught my eye: artisan kitchenaid the Professional 5 quart and the Artisan 5 quart.The Professional costs $299, and the Artisan costs $249. Cost really isn't a big matter for me. I've heard a lot of good things about the Artisan and it seems like it's the most popular out there. I haven't really heard much about the Professional. Which mixer should I get? Please list some pros/cons if you know of any!Thank you

Decal was the perfect size for my 4.5 quart mixer. Sellers description was very informative and item was received quickly.
I bought a new pink 5 quart in 2004 for my 23 year old daughter. She used the machine for cookies 12 times. The mixer is now in for repair for the second time. None of repair cost was under warrenty. Kitchen-Aid not what it used to be.
I LOVE this, not only does it do exactly what it is meant to, it’s beautifully pink too
My cupcakes and sponges are so much flufflier and everything I have tried turned out well. I am looking forward to buying other attachements – like the pasta one! Knowing a donation to a fabulous cause was part of the price made it very worthwhile…Think Pink

I ordered this pink model for my daughter, and she LOVES it!! I have had my Kitchenaid mixer for 30+ years, so I know she’ll have it to enjoy and use forever. If she’s happy, then I’m happy too!
I bought this for my girlfriend and she loved it
I highly recomend this product to anyone who loves to bake
I’m glad I got this because once I started researching baking, I was no longer interested in retail baked goods (except for Dunkin Donuts’ Old Fashioned Donut). I plan on baking American classics with my kids just as a part of their childhood even though I plan on serving them an authentic Chinese menu otherwise. American desserts are just fun but there are too many bakeries that take liberties with using too much sugar and butter and sometimes artificial fillings to make children loyal customers. I’d rather bake at home than buy anything that tastes like they didn’t clean the sheet pans between bakings.
I have had two empire red Artisan mixers in the past five years. They are gorgeous BUT both have suffered from the same three serious problems: 1. the slow speed burned out in the first month on machine number 2 when I kneaded soft brioche dough and now the mixer has only two speeds: fast and faster. 2. the mixing bowl sticks to the metal plate so that dislodging it requires a healthy husband or a liberal amount of WD40 or both. 3. the pin holding the armature to the base slides out when the machine gyrates, which it does something fierce when kneading for more than three minutes. This is one of the worst engineered products I have ever owned, and Kitchen Aid’s service is not helpful. I’m going to buy a Breville next and abandon KA for good.
This mixer a bit heavy, but that is a small price to pay for a well built work horse.
I’ve had my mixer for 10 years. My husband calls it my cement mixer. It is heavy. I don’t keep it on my counter because it takes up too much space, so I move it every time I need it from cupboard to counter. I don’t mind because this mixer is consistent in the way it beats! I only make cakes, icings and cookies, but it performs beautifully today as the day I received it. I’ve never had any problems. What makes this mixer even better are the additional attachments. On days when I ran out of ground beef or ground pork, I didn’t have to make a trip to the grocery store. I only had to reach into my freezer and pull out some sirloin or pork shoulder butt and then grab my meat grinder and within in no time, I had ground meat! Same for the pasta attachments. When I ran out of spaghetti, I only had to pull out the mixer, make some pasta dough and push it through the spaghetti attachment. This mixer is versatile and will not let you down. I love my mixer!
I chose the reconditioned model due to the significant price savings, and am very happy with my choice. Although the box and manual clearly indicate that the product is reconditioned, and it doesn’t come with the pour shield for the bowl, the mixer itself was in perfect condition, and there we just a few very minor scratches inside the bowl. Those scratches are the sort of thing you might get in your first use of the bowl. This mixer is strong, and doesn’t seem noisy to me at all. It’s certainly MUCH quieter than our hand mixer. Some higher end KitchenAid mixers have a bowl-lift feature, but I actually prefer to be able to tip the whole head backward and out of the way to get the bowl out. So far, we’ve made banana bread and a few batches of mashed potatoes using this mixer, and are very pleased with the results.
As a retired home economist and having used many mixers, I can honestly say this is a joy to use. I haven’t made cakes in a long time because it just seemed too laborious and I don’t care for those in a box. This takes all of the labor out and is no more trouble than a box mix. But, the results are very rewarding and remind me of those I enjoyed as a child. I have also made whole wheat noodles and nothing could be easier or less expensive. Great product!!
IBought this for a friend that always wanted one, but would never buy it. We weren’t concerned about it being recondidtioned in that we didn’t expect it to get used much. We have never had a problem with the mixer and it does get used expecially when “Mom” visits. The mixer was in great condition and we couldn’t be happier with it.
I needed a mixer for my second home because I was having a big birthday party for my dad and wanted to make his favorite, making carrot cake cupcakes. But I didn’t want to pay full price. This mixer was the perfect solution, and thanks to Amazon, it came right on time for the cupcake-baking extravaganza! Plus, KitchenAid is durable, reliable, and the greatest mixer ever. And although this is factory-conditioned, it looks like new.
This decal itself is made well, though I would appreciate some more instructions and tips on applying it to my kitchenaid. I put it on too close to the front curve and it wrinkled up in the front, so I tried taking it off and of course the adhesive didn’t work as well. Then I bought a bottle of spray adhesive to fix it and must not have been slow enough peeling it off and it ripped this ugly jagged tear. So I stopped totally and have resigned myself to leaving it on and smoothing down the edges EVERY SINGLE DAY. I have 5 kids and plenty else to do as we just moved across the country, so I have yet to carefully peel it off and attempt to get my money back. I would like to try again, but I’m afraid if I damage it further, I am out the 20 bucks+ that I paid, and I’d rather have it on than not. Sad, huh?
It’s worth the money b/c you can’t find anything like the flames anywhere else, but if you want turtles or something like those white decals you put in car windows from Wal-Mart or wherever, you could get those cheaper or the same price. If you do buy it, go slow and don’t try to make it curve over the front unless you plan well and overlap it slowly. And get some spray adhesive to strengthen it.
Overall, I’d try one more time (when I get the time), and call my problems me being impatient, but I stand by the need for better directions.
I have had this for 3 years and it still gets great comments. It has delaminated a bit where the clear outer layer has pulled up from the colored layer beneath it, but seems stable for now. It is NOT peeling off the mixer.
I may have to replace with a new set (maybe the plane decal set?) in a little while.
It is expensive, but less expensive and a lot more fun than a silly, girly-looking quilted cover. It all depends whose mixer it is in the family. This one is mine.
