KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixers

Ok. Enough about the art. I do cook and I do use it. As much as possible. The machine is a joy to use. It's twice as efficient as a regular mixer (I used to have a sunbeam-- it broke), it's solid, and for heaven's sake, do NOT get in the way of that beater. It won't stop for ANYTHING. My mom has had her Kitchen Aid for 25 years, through six kids (both cooking for them and letting them use it). It's made to last.

By the way, an earlier comment about not mixing to the bottom of the bowl-- read the instructions-- there's a little screw you can adjust that will move the head up and down ever so slightly to get the beater to just touch the bottom of the bowl.

The Artisan 5 is a beautiful thing to use-- LOVE IT!

This mixer is a workhorse. It is a great resource to have to help make things easier when cooking or baking.

It is well worth the money.

For those of you who have always had to stand by your mixing bowl, holding down the turbo button on your hand mixer this is the greatest invention since the earl of sandwich sliced bread. We all have had to do it, hold the dreaded hand mixer. Not only does this product mix exceptionally well, but it can be left to mix on its own. When all is said and done the kitchenaid stand mixer will out mix, blend, or whip any other product on the market.

This is the best mixer I've ever used. I love mine. I am very happy with my purchase and highly suggest it to anyone who needs a mixer.

This has expanded my cooking options greatly. I injured my right shoulder and neck many years ago making mixing painful at times. I now can make my great grandmothers rolls without giving myself a migrain. I would recommend this mixer to anyone with pain and a love to cook. The cookbook that comes with it is also very useful, I have made many of the recipes including 10 batches of the pizza crust in just two weeks. This is one of the most used appliances in my kitchen now.
