Kitchenaid Stand Mixer
I purchased my KitchenAid stand mixer second hand from a relative. (couldn't pass up the price) I don't know how I lived without one all these years, I recently purchased the new flex edge beater for this mixer and love it. The only complaint I ever had was the fact that you had to scrape down the sides of the bowl. This little product takes care of that nicely. It is a little pricey, but worth it if you use the mixer often. Love KitchenAid.

Love this mixer
I put the Kitchenaid Artisan mixer on my registry and I'm thrilled with it! I used to have a hand mixer and my hand would hurt from using it not to mention the splatter on the walls. This mixer is hands-free and splatter-proof! A definite must-have for anyone who likes to bake!

Exceeds Expectations
This mixer exceeds expectations! The splash guard is just wonderful and eliminates all the splatter that happens on the cupboards when mixing things. The mixer makes everything easier- I still use my hand mixer for little things but I tend to use the stand mixer more since it keeps the mess isolated and the bowl is wonderful and light when pouring what you have inside!

My dream come true.
I dreamed of owning this mixer for two decades. I finally pruchased it a couple of months ago as a gift for myself. Although the mixer I recieved made a loud grinding noise everytime I turned it on. I called Kitchenaid and they quickly sent me a replacement. I love to make poundcakes and this handsfree mixer comes in hand with two small children. I would recommend this products to anyone who loves to bake or cook.

Fantastic Mixer!!
This is the most expensive minor kitchen appliance I have ever purchased, so I of course was nervous about it. I cannot say enough how thrilled I am that I bought this. It makes baking and cooking so much easier. It's so sturdy, everything fits perfectly, and it's beautiful. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone!

I mean, there really doesn't need to be any more reviews of the Kitchenaid stand mixer. If you love to cook and bake - get this. It's essential. This was my favorite wedding present hands down.

great mixer
Great mixer for basic tasks. Only draw back is that the bowl is somewhat small for double batches - would be nice if they sold a larger bowl as an add on

Great Buy!
I got this mixer for my wedding, I love to bake and this makes the job so much easier! I love the mixer, I also love the color. The size of the mixing bowl is great and the handle on the bowl is helpful.

I absolutely love this mixer. Some times I wonder how I ever got by without it. It's so nice to be able to beat egg whites or cream and just walk away and do something else. The only downside is that you can't walk away too long because it's done in no time! I also use it to mix up meat balls and meatloaf without over mixing the meat and making it tough.
I've had mine for two years now and it works just as well as it did the first time I used it. One thing that did concern me was that a brown ooze was leaking from the gearcase, but after a little research I found out that this is normal and it's just extra grease that was applied during assembly.

Best Wedding Gift Ever
This mixer is fantastic - I've made everything from bread to cake icing to mashed potatoes in it. My baked goods have never come out so light or so evenly mixed. The only (very minor) downsides are its weight (this sucker is heavy, so it takes some effort to haul in and out if you keep it in storage) and the fact that you have to handwash the bowl and blades, but that's a minor tradeoff in terms of how well your food will turn out using it.

This model was a good choice
I knew I wanted a Kitchen Aid mixer, but had no idea how many different models were out there. I just kind of randomly picked this one because we were registering at C&B. In general I am happy with this Artisan model, but have noticed a few things that are different from other Kitchen Aid models.
Good to know...
1. Unlike the other Kitchen Aid mixer series, the Artisan version has a tilting head that pivots to allow access to the bowl and the bowl twists into place at the base. Other series have a lever that lowers and raises the bowl because the mixer head cannot be tilted up. I've used both types and prefer the tilting head.
2. The Artisan is a medium-capacity model. Bigger and smaller ones are available.
3. I'm not sure how powerful this motor is compared to other models, but you may want to check on that if you plan to mix heavy doughs or use it frequently.
4. Even though the color is called "Chrome", it is actually a painted silver color. (Looks good and is much easier to care for than stainless or other metals.)
5. Extra bowls are available for Artisan models. You'll probably want extras if you do a lot of baking or make complex recipes, as rewashing the bowl in the middle of cooking gets old real quick. Because of the handle, extra bowls are not stackable... wouldn't that be nice!

"Mixed" Review--Great for some things, Not perfect
PROS:
Generally, I really like my KitchenAid mixer. I took a cake decorating class last year and it was invaluable for mixing large amounts of heavy powdered-sugar frosting. (This would have been VERY messy had I had to do it by hand--with the stand mixer, just drape a cloth over the mixer and let it do its job!). I also love it for things like homemade marshmallows (which require ~10 min of beating).
CONS:
*It is very heavy and our house doesn't have a ton of counter space, so lugging it out is kind of a hassle.
*Also, it should not replace your hand-held mixer, which is more convenient and easier to clean up after.
*You're not supposed to wash the bowl and attachments in the dishwasher.
*It's awkward to scrape the sides of the bowl because of how deep it is and the mixing attachment placement, and it is not uncommon that unmixed food gets stuck near the bottom and doesn't get incorporated into the mix.
*Finally, it warns against using it to make "heavy dough" because the motor might burn out. That warning has made me nervous to use it for bread, because I'm not sure how "heavy" is too heavy for this $300 investment.
