This long-standing brand of mixer continues to lead the pack. Very good service and courteous help when I phoned Kitchen Aid for advice/help.
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 quart stand mixer 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
Is there a Kitchen Aid 7 Quart stand mixer?
I am planning to get a mixer but I would like it to last quart stand mixer a long time and as big as possible for my needs. I like Kitchen Aid but can't find a 7 Qt anywhere. I only found a 6 quart for Kitchen Aid and a 7 quart from cuisinart that is only available online.

KitchenAid Artisan Mixer: Buyers Reviews
{ 10 comments… read them below or add one }
This mixer a bit heavy, but that is a small price to pay for a well built work horse.
The mixer works great and has a lot of very nice features. The only issue with it is that it is not brushed chrome as listed. The finish is nothing like my brushed chrome toaster, coffee maker, or microwave. It has a silver/grey painted finish. It is not brushed chrome.
So far, so good! I adore this mixer. I have made two of the recipes in the cookbook that came with it, and they turned out perfectly. It does an amazing job kneading dough, I have made cinnamon roll dough with it and I do not have to touch it, every last speck of flour is kneaded in and turns out great! The mixer is a little loud, which I expected, and heats up a bit with hard batches but so far I have had no problems at all. Love how it ramps up and love how I can walk away or clean up my kitchen mess while it is going and it just shuts off when it is done! That is so nice! So I would say all in all, it kicks my kitchen Aid in the behind!! I am very pleased with this machine, worth every penny.
This mixer will change the way that you bake! I absolutely love it. It whips up a cake in no time at all. It takes just a few minutes to cream 3 sticks of butter and 3 cups for sugar. This mixer is definitely a time-saver! I love my mixer!
This may be the “Bottom of the Line” for a Kitchen Aid mixer but the wattage was bumped to 275 and I find it to be more than capable for any job I have for it. It will change the way you cook. My Grandmother has owned and used a similar model for over 30 years, used almost on a daily basis, and it performs as good today as it did when it was new in 1977. Three generations have loved what was lovingly made with her Kitchen Aid. These machines are solid as stone.
I was thrilled that I was able to purchase a superior machine at the same cost that I could have paid for name brand machine of much inferior quality. i have not had a chance to try it yet but I know that I will enjoy it.
It came packaged very well and was shipped promptly. Thanks.
If the beater is not hitting the bottom of the bowl your mixer needs to be adjusted. On the K45 series there is a screw on the front of the joint when you tilt it back. Turn that screw clockwise (to the right)to tighten it and that will allow your blade to reach the bottom. If your blade starts hitting/rubbing the bowl, the screw should be turned back to the left until you find a happy medium. If the blade is hitting/rubbing you bowl it will damage your attatchments. Good luck. This is an older piece of equiptmant but built very well that should last a lifetime. My husband and I have a “hand me down” that has lasted 40 years!
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.
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’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.
