I always think that having a look at what others say about an appliance is a good idea. So let us have a look at some of the reviews you will find on the Amazon Site:


This is what Kyle has to say:

I’ve had a KA stand mixer in one form or another for about 25 years. I’ve owned an Artisan for about 2 years now. I like to bake, especially bread, and the mixer never lets me down. I bake for just my wife and me, and the Artisan is perfect for us. If I was baking triple batches of cookies or bread recipes with 8 cups of flour, I’d want to move up to the 6 quart pro version. Last X-mas my wife gave me The Mixer Bible for a gift and it’s really expanded my use of the mixer. It has a ton of great recipes (pierogi, yum!) and has convinced me that the food grinder will be on my birthday wish list this year.For as much as the mixer costs, the extra few bucks to buy the book is so worth it!

And this is what C. Green thinks:

I bought this for my wife as a Christmas gift and she absolutely loves it. She uses it everyday and it does not bother her carpaltonel (spelling?) syndrome. Now, at Christmas I can buy her attachments so she can get further use out of it. A great buy for anyone who enjoys cooking. We use ours almost everyday and have had no problems with it.

R. Burns loves the KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixers:

I’ve always had a KitchenAid mixer – my mother passed a PINK one down to me…that might tell you how old it is….so, when I saw the beautiful colors offered in this mixer, I just had to buy one. I chose the GRAPE and I am not disappointed – I had to find a place for it in my kitchen…I couldn’t hide this one away! It mixes like a dream – the white paddle is such an improvement from just the old whip beater. Now I can mix everything – many things that are too thick and that I had to mix by hand before. Plus the BEST price is on Amazon – with the rebate offered by KitchenAid, no tax, no shipping, plus I also got the $25 off special offer from Amazon (if purchasing at least $125 in Kitchen and Housewares)! Can’t beat that deal!
