Replaced a 30-year-old KitchenAid stand mixer which was awesome and still working well, but the wrong color for my new house. Gave my old mixer to my daughter for her kitchen. New one is pretty much the same as the old one with very few differences. One disappointment was the quality of the whisk. The old whisk was all stainless steel and dishwasher safe. The new one has aluminum construction and is not dishwasher compatible.
I bought this before Christmas and, let me tell you, cookies were a breeze this year! I actually cook/bake so much more now that I have this little work horse. Absolutely the best purchase I've made in years.
I bought the Artisan® Series 5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer with Premium Accessory Pack, Fresh Prep Slicer/Shredder Attachment, 3-Piece Pasta Roller & Cutter and love them. We have made cookies, bread, and gluten free pasta and it worked perfect!
I bought a few weeks ago as a gift for my significant other. She is extremely happy with the mixer and all the features it has. She says she cannot wait to start baking things and seeing what it can do.
I purchased this Artisan Series 5 Qt. tilt-head mixer in March of 2025 from this website. I purchasedit to upgrade my 25‑year‑old KitchenAid Classic mixer to a newer model and color. I’ve only used this mixer a handful of times, and today, while making royal icing, it began making a high‑pitched grinding noise and gave off a smell that suggested something was wrong with the motor. It then started slowing down while whipping the icing. I’ve used this mixer exactly the same way I’ve used my 25‑year‑old mixer, so I’m very disappointed that it’s already having issues before even reaching one year of use.I now wish I had kept the work horse Classic that was made really well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
