[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The beater with the scraper on one side is a big improvement over the one I had years ago. I have used this several times since I got it -- made cookies, frosting, yeast coffeecakes, candy and bread. I am anxious to try out the pasta attachment! The collar that keeps the flour from flying everywhere is a big improvement, too. Over all, I really like this mixer -- plus the color is fun -- kinda "retro" and looks great on my counter!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the matte black artisan as a replacement for another model. It's sleek look is perfect for my kitchen.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this mixer about a month ago, and have used it many times to make bread and christmas cookies. Even with a tough gingerbread cookie recipe, this mixer just plows through and does a great job mixing. It is an absolute work horse! I also have some other accessories such as the pasta maker that i plan to use.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought my Kitchen Aid right after Thanksgiving and used it to make all my Christmas cookies -- 14 different kinds and 4 types of sweet breads and dog biscuits. Worked FANTASTIC!!! Helps make me more productive. I got the Mixer with the Premium Accessory Pack with I LOVE. Extra bowl very helpful.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first time using a stand mixer, and I will admit... it makes things so much easier. That said... it squeals like a banshee while in use and is SOO loud which does not seem right for how much you pay for one of these things. It was so loud it work my elderly mother up who was across the other side of the house. I don't love that.
I would recommend this to a friend!
