excellent performance but very heavy aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

This is my first stand mixer and I love it! I have made tons of cookies and brownies. I've even used it to mix hamburger meat. This weekend I'm going to try to make homemade dog treats. I am so glad I bought this! I also bought the flex edge beater and it really makes things easier when making cookies. (It should be a standard accessory that comes with unit!)

A few years ago I got my wife a stand mixer. She'd always wanted one. Instead of "OMG I LOVE IT" her first words were "It's not a KitchenAid". I didn't know the difference, I thought a stand mixer was a stand mixer. The old one worked, it mixed things, everything was fine for a few years until my wife decided to get into baking bread. I thought that thing was going to explode, or shake itself off the counter, or both! Finally got her the KitchenAid she really always wanted, and MAN THE DIFFERENCE IS NIGHT AND DAY!! This thing is SOLID. It barely moves even on thick bread dough! It's construction is vastly superior to the other brand. The handle on the bowl, and the plastic shield are nice touches, but when we are talking about a $200 difference between the off brand and this, it really is the quality and construction that makes it worth it. Summery: Stand mixers are all basically the same, this does it's job no better or worse than the cheap brand, but the quality of the construction makes it worth the extra expense.

You want to bake good, you get a kitchenaid stand mixer. That's all there is to it. No fancy attachments come with. It's heavy and it mixes things just fine. They changed the bowl from the one my wife got at a garage sale many years ago, it's nicer and the handle feels smoother.

Amazing Kitchenaid never disappoints. Have used their products since I was a child and worked for Whirlpool myself. Can verify they only make quality products.

Bought this for my husband who enjoys cooking. I love the color and he has since used it and loves it to death! Works for what he needs it for. Different parts need to be purchased separately. No issues after using. Bestbuy was great in delivering.

My Mom had one (lime green) that lasted for years, then she passed it on to my sister and I always wanted one of my own. I got it for my new kitchen and it's a joy to do so much with one appliance - lots of baking, etc. I love it. Now wonder why I waited so long! It's well worth the price. And every cook on TV has one so if you want to follow along you need to get one!!!

Works great! I have a 7 qt Pro Line KA mixer and needed something smaller. Was worried I wouldn't have near enough power after using the larger unit for so many years, but really like the size and manageability. Does a great job mixing, kneading, etc.

The quality is amazing. This is a very wellbuolt machine. It's easy to use and we plan on doing alot more cooking and experimenting with the attachments.

We love this mixer!! With its powerful motor, mixing various doughs (bread, pizza, cookie, etc.) are easy and quick. The whisk works great for homemade whipped cream and meringue. Cake and brownie batters are nice and smooth. Can't wait to get the pasta and other attachments!

I've had a large KitchenAid stand mixer for the past 30 years (the model with the arms that lift the bowl up to the beater head). It was starting to slow down finally, so I got the new Artisan version that had about the same wattage as the old one. The Artisan seems to have the power to do the same things, but the head unit that tilts up does not lock into place as securely as I would have expected. It tends to bounce up and down when it is doing the tougher jobs. I'm sure it will be a fine mixer for the every day stuff, and occasional really tough jobs I give it, though. My advice would be that if you do a lot of the really tough jobs, get the kind that does not have the tilt-up head.

For any aspiring young chef or any new home. This is an amazing gift as well as tool in the kitchen. From mixing dough or batter, these reliable quart mixers can handle any task. The look of these are amazing and very post revolutionary. Reminds you of 50s gadget.

This is a high quality mixer that is awesome. The attachments that are offered to buy work very well with it. I bought the meat grinder and it was quick and easy to use. I recommend this mixer to anyone interested in getting a high quality mixer that will last for years.

I've been looking for one of these mixers for a while now and finally made the decision to get one. I didn't need the 6 quart professional series but wanted something with a little more power than the lower end 4.5 quart mixer. This one turned out a great compromise. It makes baking so much easier, and making it easier means I'll do it more often.

I have always wanted a stand mixer and this one has made my dreams come true. Very happy with it! Cannot wait until Christmas! I know it will save me loads of time! Very impressed with the power on this model - almost scary! Takes all the work out of mixing!

My wife loves it. Got it for her for Christmas. She has used twice now. Easy to use. It is made of metal and heavy, so no worries about mixing bowls slipping and spilling. Like the various speeds and tilt head. No more using the old electric hand mixer.

There are several sizes available, this being more middle-of-the-road, so measure your space first! Also many more colors online than available in stores (including several different blues). Works very well. Heavy and little hidden plastic feet (not suction cup, but non-damaging plastic to avoid sliding) - won't damage counters or move without being picked up. Includes multiple mixing and other useful accessories. Only complaint may be the clear plastic pouring shield, as it is rather loose - does its job but just sits there, doesn't snap in or hold tight so you need to hold it as you pour in liquids or flour to ensure nothing spills and it doesn't fall.

Love the tilt back. Easy to change the various attachments. Very good power. Only negative is constant need to scrape sides and bottom, but tilt back makes it simple

very good product works great easy to use and to store

First- Love the matte milkshake color! This is my first KitchenAid product and I’m in love. Makes baking so much easier! I would use a hand mixer and I didn’t realize how much time I was wasting. I’m very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend.
