This was a wedding gift and we had no idea we needed something like this until we started using it and it saved SO MUCH time when making foods and baking!! I wouldn't trade it for anything and it looks amazing in our kitchen!
I bought this mixer because I just started making cakes out of my home! After 3 hand mixers burning up on my thick buttercream I decided to spend the money and get a real mixer! It was worth every penny! I have made so many cakes and so much buttercream without any problems. And to top that I can make them in half the time! Sooo glad I pruchased this mixer! Thanks Kitchen Aid!
I purchased the Artisan Mixer a few months ago, as a retirement present to myself, and I have not been sorry. I love to bake, and I regret depriving myself all these years! It makes cakes and cookies a breeze to make. It looks beautiful on my kitchen counter -- really classy looking and it is wonderful to use -- quick, powerful, clearly worth the money. I bake for friends and church events, so this is a great addition to my kitchen. And I love that it is made in the USA!
I had my "old" mix master for 30 years & then it broke! It was no longer being manufactured. So I thought that I would buy a Kitchen-aid since they came in such great colors. Well... I bought it for the color but I LOVE IT for so much more! It is very sturdy & strong. But it is VERY HEAVY, so I had to find a permanent home for it on my work-space. Once that was done I have found that I love this new mixer even more than my old one. There is a learning curve because the space between the end of the bowl & the motor is kind of close so I had had to alter my way of doing things like the way I pour the ingredients into the bowl. But not having to scrape as much is wonderful! Altho the little recessed circle on the bottom always needs to be scraped and that is a kind of nuisance. It mixes things like whipped cream and egg-whites so quickly I find I am making foods I never thought I could. It is nice that it came with 3 beaters... but I wish it came with 2 bowls. The replacements are very expensive. Don't hesitate to buy this model if you need a replacement for your old mixer!
