I've had my eye on a stand mixer for a while and finally bought this one a few months ago. I debated whether to get the Artisan or the Pro series and am glad I went for the Artisan. It does everything I need it to (whip egg whites, beat cake batter, knead bread dough) and does it well. The color options were a great plus with the Artisan - I love my persimmon!
We purchased this product back in December and I'm so happy we did, my husband and I love cooking and we have been trying new recipes because our mixer makes the process easier. I strongly recommend this product.
