I purchased the Imperial Black shortly after the holidays. Looks fantastic on my counter, and does not show fingerprints! I love it for homemade banana bread and meatloaf. Have also since purchased the shredder/slicer attachment. LOVE! Now my husband requests scalloped potatoes on a weekly basis! Nothing to it! Slice enough to make 2 batches at once and have them for the next few meals. Was apprehensive too spend so much money on another appliance that would not get so much use. In a few months, have all ready justified the cost because I use it all the time. Even my 7 year old says "that's a pretty handy tool!" And it is! It makes somewhat intimidating and time-consuming dishes seem easy. I even made my own coleslaw...in not so many minutes! It motivates me to make things for my family I would not have tried before.
I'm very pleased with my new 5 qt mixer! I like the bigger bowl and it is always one of my most used appliances. My last Kitchen Aid mixer lasted for 40 years so I will be expecting this one to last that long also!

I've always wanted a Kitchenaid Mixer but could never afford one. My Oster "died" a couple months ago and was fortunate to have enough "mad money" stashed away. I LOVE MY NEW ARTISAN SERIES 5-QT. MIXER. JUST LOVE IT. It is so easy to use. My family and friends love my cookies,cakes and Belgeum Waffles. Thank you so much for such a wonderful appliance.
My husband just got me the mixer a couple months ago and I absolutely love it. It's quiet and works great. I love to bake and this mixer has definitely made baking a lot easier and faster, with two kids I don't have much time to bake anymore so having this mixer gives me more of an excuse to bake. I'm very pleased with it.
This is a homemaker's dream machine! I've been married over 5 years and finally got one last Christmas. The deep bowl keeps the mess off the counter, LOVE that. The bowl is also very easy to sponge clean & dry, no matter what's in it. The stir feature is so gentle, I use this mixer every week for stirring my homemade dips, salads, cookie dough, mashed potatoes...etc. When my mixer does the stirring for me, I can be more efficient in the kitchen.
