This machine is amazing. It makes baking, etc… a breeze. No more hand mixing. It’s a bit loud, but otherwise a good buy.
While purchasing a new kitchen mixer may be exciting, it is often a hard decision. So many kitchen mixers are available, most with remarkable testimonials. So how do you choose which appliance is best for your kitchen? Could a KitchenAid Artisan series be the ideal fit? Here follows some pros and cons of the KitchenAid Artisan mixers.
Advantages of the KitchenAid Artisan Mixer
Big capacity - The 5 quart stainless steel bowl allows many batches to be mixed at once.
Powerful motor - Enjoy making lots of baked goods? The Kitchen Aid Artisan stand mixer can power through recipes having up to 9 cups of all-purpose flour.
Uniform mixing - A ten speed sliding control changes easily between stirring, mixing, and whipping. Since the beaters contact the bowl in 67 places, the ingredients are completely mixed.
Simple clean-up - The nylon-coated attachments and the stand mixer 600 stainless steel bowl are dishwasher safe. An included pouring shield keeps the ingredients in the bowl and off the counter.
Expandable - With the purchase of various add-ons, the KitchenAid Artisan series stand mixer can become a complete kitchen machine assisting in various chores such as making ice cream, stuffing sausage, and grinding meat.
Numerous colors availalbe - Color-coordinating your kitchen with a KitchenAid Artisan series stand mixer is effortless with 20 different colors.
Ease of access to the beaters and ingredients - The KitchenAid 5 Quart Artisan stand mixer is the largest capacity tilt-head stand mixer manufactured by KitchenAid.
Fail-safe warranty policy - If there are any problems in the first year, KitchenAid will replace it without any questions, delivering a new Artisan to your doorstep and arranging for the pick-up of the broken one.
Disadvantages of the KitchenAid Artisan Mixer
Space required - Owing to the tilt-head model, the KitchenAid Artisan might be unable to fit beneath your kitchen cabinet during use. Make sure you have adequate space to slide the Artisan forward on the counter when you want to use the mixer.
Insufficient power or size - The Artisan may have too small of a bowl or might not be strong enough to fulfill your needs if you regularly make large batches or use whole grain flours. KitchenAid produces two models with more power: the Pro 5 Plus and the Pro 600.
Less stability for heavier doughs - The bowl-lift machines have greater stabililty when mixing thick recipes than the tilt-head models.
Heavy-duty dough hook unavailable - The KitchenAid Artisan Series ships with a nylon-coated C dough hook rather than the PowerKnead dough hook available in the Pro 5 Plus or Pro 600 models.

Fast Shipping and great product. It is way more powerful than the Artisan series that I first bought. I would advise spending the extra money and getting this one. It is quieter than expected (about like the Artisan) and performs better. I like the extra features like the slow startup and It has not strained like the Artisan did with pizza dough. I look forward to getting the attachments for grain, meat and pasta.
You will have this for life. Has wonderful attachments and makes cooking particularly baking easier and with fabulous and consistent results.
Why I bought it:
I make a lot of cakes from home.
Pros:
I can make a very big batch of buttercream. I love the options for all of the attachments.
Cons:
It bogs down a little when I really load it up but I haven’t had it quit on me. I have to handwash the attachments because for some reason, the dish detergent crystalizes and sticks to them.
My husband ordered this for me for my birthday in the very lovely caviar. I used this well for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas baking. I made I don’t know how many dozens of cupcakes for my daughters birthday party, several standard cakes for Thanksgiving and roughly a dozen cheesecakes for Thanksgiving with no issues what-so-ever. It cleans very easy, looks wonderful on my counter and as the title states, well worth the wait!
