[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After almost 40 years of adulthood, I treated myself and bought my first stand mixer. I chose the KA Artisan in mineral water blue, along with the blue floral bowl, which matches perfectly. I also bought the fresh shredder, the grinder, a pasta press and the ice cream attachment—so I’m all in! One month letter, I’ve made bread, pizza, 3 types of cookies, lasagne, raviolis, vegan black bean and beet burgers, seitan, falafel, and probably more. I love the way it beats butter—formerly something I worked very hard to do, ending up with too-warm dough. The pasta turned out great—I never had luck doing that before either, by hand or with a pasta machine. As a vegetarian, I like making things myself so that I know exactly what’s in there, and frequently customize recipes to fit my taste and diet. I got a good deal on the mixer from KA, in a package with 3 and 5 quart bowls, the pastry beater and flex-edge beater along with the usual beater, hook and whisk. One other benefit of the mixer is that it inspired me ti clean the clutter in my kitchen!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Haven't used the mixer yet as it is a CHRISTMAS gift. Yes, I said CHRISTMAS. The shipping process and communication sucks. SUCKS. I will never again order anything from the kitchen aid website. The only reason I rated one star is because I didn't see a zero.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this KitchenAide as a retirement gift to myself in November. It is so easy to use and clean. I'm making 2-3 bakes a week, cookies and breads. It works so well on cookie dough, especially shortbreads. I love having the smaller bowl, it allows me to easily flavor dough.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since you asked— be aware not to follow the instructions to lock the motor head in the lift position.
My mixer did not “lock” and as the head came down, the latch gouged the paint off the back of the base. Otherwise, working OK but struggled with oatmeal cookie batter.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I finally bought this mixer. I've wanted it for a long time, so I thought my Birthday was a great excuse to get it for myself. The color is absolutely perfect, to go with the coastal theme of my kitchen. I haven't used it yet, but will be putting it to use soon for the holidays!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been wanting this mixer for so long, but kept talking myself out of it. I finally decided to buy it for myself for my birthday and I’m so glad I did! It’s so well made and sturdy. So fun to use. I’m so excited to use it for all my Christmas baking this year!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So happy to have beautiful stand mixer. So much easier on my hands and really sped things up in the kitchen. I can't wait to add some attachments. The color is beautiful, Mineral Water Blue.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this mixer and gave Daughter larger heaver one. This model is easier to manage to move if needed. Operates all attachments we have and does all required mixing.
