Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
KitchenAid's Artisan stand mixer is a substantial piece of
equipment: 325 watts of mixing power make child's play of creaming butter,
kneading dough, and whipping cream. The kid in you will appreciate how quick
and easy it is to mix up a batch of cookie dough. This model comes with three
attachments: a flat beater for making batter, meat loaf, and all textures
in-between; a wire whip for egg whites, mayonnaise, and more air-infused
creations; and a hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs. All three are
solidly constructed and easily secured to the beater shaft with a simple twist.
This model also includes a pouring shield for guiding ingredients to their
proper destination, and the bowl itself locks tight to the base. Standing about
15 inches high, jutting out a foot, and weighing more than a grown woman's
bowling ball, this stand mixer isn't the sort of appliance you'll wipe down and
put away. Better to find a square foot of free counter space for easy access;
besides, this machine is as pretty as it is rugged--you'll want to show it off.

From the Manufacturer
The Artisan mixer's strong 325-watt motor delivers the power
to handle the heaviest mixtures, and mix large batches easily.
The 5-quart polished stainless steel bowl with ergonomic
handle is big enough to handle large batches of heavy mixtures. Its
ergonomically designed handle is contoured to fit the hand and makes lifting
the bowl more comfortable.
Unique Mixing Action
The beater spins clockwise as the shaft spins counter
clockwise; moving the beater to 67 different points around the bowl. This
unique mixing action creates a thorough blend of ingredients and eliminates the
need to rotate the bowl.
Multiple Speeds
10 speeds allow the user to select the right speed for the
mixing job; from very high to very slow stir. It's easy to select the precise
speed needed for a perfect mix.
Versatile Accessories
The flat beater, dough hook, and the professional wire whip
add to the versatility of the mixer. The flat beater is the ideal accessory for
mixing normal to heavy batters. From cake mixes to firm cookie dough, the flat
beater mixes quickly and thoroughly.
The dough hook mixes and kneads yeast dough, saving both
time and the effort of hand-kneading. The wire whip incorporates the maximum
amount of air in whipped mixtures for fluffier whipped cream and angel food
cakes.
All attachments are solidly constructed, and attach easily
to the stand mixer.
Easy Clean Up
The pouring shield fits around the top of the bowl and
prevents ingredient splash-out. The chute makes it convenient and easy to add
ingredients.
The tilt-back mixer head allows for easy access to bowl and
beaters. A lock lever holds the mixer head securely in place and the bowl
fastens tightly to the base.
Optional Attachments
Optional attachments (sold separately) complete the package
to make cooking a pleasure. From citrus juicer to sausage stuffer, KitchenAid
stand mixers can handle just about any job in the kitchen.

Very Cool!! And more
By jen
All those cooking shows made me buy this. I have always
admired these kitchen-aid mixers... but never thought I'd get THAT much use out
of them. I watched a cooking show... where they made chocolate mousse. That was
the last straw.
Now I can't say how glad I am that I got this! My cookie
dough is done as fast as I can measure out the ingredients! I was too lazy to
mix the dough well before... so I rarely made cookies. The first week this was
home I made 3 batches of delicious cookies, an angel food cake, a meat loaf,
mountians of whipped cream, and the chocolate mousse. Clean up is easy too.
Plus this cool chrome-esque color looks awesome in my kitchen. Only now I'll
have to join a gym.

Great Tool, but with minor setback...
By Jasmine Yu
I love KitchenAid mixer. I had the classic 4.5 quarts before
and had a lot of fun with it. Great for kneading, making scones, etc. So, when
I saw the 5 quart model on sale, I jumped at the chance to purchase it. Same as
before, but only bigger, right? Well, it worked great until I realized that the
dough was being left at the bottom of the bowl. So, I figured it's because of
the height so I lowered it a bit. Now, keep in mind that nowhere in the booklet
of instruction does it tell you how much the tolerance should be. I went to
their live help to get that number which is 1/16". (Another advice: Use
paddle attachement for the height measurement. Dough Hook will give you falst
reading) So, here I go with lower height setting. I noticed that the top part
would twitch everytime it kneaded the dough. After making the dough, I found a
ground up spot on the dough hook and scratch marks on the bowl. I had to
replace the dough hook but fortunately, the scratch on the bowl was minor
enough. So, once again, I'm trying to knead something. I thought I heard some
scratching noise again, so I raised the height about a half turn. Next thing I
know, I couldn't lock the head in because nothing was lining up anymore. So,
here's my recommendation: Get KitchenAid for it's an awesome gadget to have.
But... DO NOT TOUCH THE SETTING ONCE YOU BUY IT. I put the paddle attachment
and sorta got the 1/16", but it's not the same anymore... That's a shame,
though, for such a great tool. I think I'll try to upgrade to the professional
series where the setup is totally different and hopefully will have better
luck.

Disappointed
By K
I purchased this mixer after wanting one for too many years
to count. Unfortunately, I ended up pretty disappointed and returned it and
purchased the 5.5 qt Cuisinart instead. First the mixer arrived with some minor
cosmetic damage to it. Not a functional problem but still for the price it
should not arrive damaged. Second it could barely mix a small batch of fondant
for a cake, the motor was just not powerful enough. I do not know how it could have
possible mixed a few loaves of bread. When I was done mixing the fondant I
noticed the applied covering to the dough hook had started to peel off. Another
small issue I had was the design of the bowl made it hard to scrape the bowl
without hitting the beater and getting batter all over your hand. Not really a
big deal but an annoyance. I really wanted to love this mixer but there were
too many issues and I ended up returning it. I was pretty disappointed because
I had heard KitchenAid is the best mixer on the market. I then read on cooks
illustrated that the Cuisinart 5.5 qt mixer had beat out the KitchenAid Artisan
in their tests. So with some hesitation I purchased the Cuisinart and could not
be happier. If you plan on doing more than mixing up a cake mix occasionally I
would highly recommend you spend the extra money on the KitchenAid Professional
or try the Cuininart 5.5 qt if like me you don't have that kind of money to
spend.
