KitchenAid Artisan Design Series 5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer with Glass Bowl - KSM155GB

I have a bit of an obsession with kitchen aid stand mixers (I have 2 and looking to buy a couple more). Some people collect stamps, I collect kitchen aid mixers lol They make so many beautiful colours it's hard to settle with just one. I ended up getting the "sparkly" white one, sparkly might not be the best choice of words it's more of a shiny white colour which looks really good in my all white kitchen (not as dull as the plain white one), also love the glass bowl. The girl in me really wanted the hot pink one but I knew it wouldn't look as good in my kitchen. As you probably already know this stand mixer has a lot of cool features. I love everything about them, my only pet peeve is when I am pouring my dry ingredients the opening is not very large and I often end up spilling flour on the mixer or the counter. The Pro series have a larger bowl likely eliminating that issues, also good if you want to make a larger batch. The bowls are interchangeable too so if you want a metal one instead you can purchase separately or vice versa. I use mine mainly for baking and I love it, it works well, it's durable and best of all it's easy to clean.

Besides the color that makes this so great, it really has been awesome for me. I make large batches of cookie dough, very frequently, although it does fit a triple batch for me, but it's quite full, too full for it to be convenient, and it seems like it puts too much strain on the "motor" and slows it down. The glass bowl is quite heavy, because it is so large and heavy, it's almost hard for me to pour stuff out of the bowl (partly because I'm shorter, so I can't lift the bowl as high as I'd like to, and it's even harder when it's full), so intend to get the stainless steel one, as well as an attachment that wipes the sides of the bowl clean while mixing. Another thing I've noticed is again, because I'm not quite as tall, when I set the bowl on my table (not a counter, like when I pour something out), and try to pull my dough out, the bowl is so tall that I have to stand on my tip-toes, and even then it's hard tor reach to the bottom of the bowl, and the base of the bowl is more narrow, so I almost pull it over. I still give it 5 stars, because it's so much more convenient for me, it's my favorite color, and it really is a great piece in my kitchen for almost anything I make from scratch.

So far, I'm really thrilled with this mixer. I've never done a lot of baking, so I wasn't sure if this was necessary. But so far in the last week since I received the mixer (as well as the pasta press and extruder attachments) I've made two batches of fabulous fresh pasta that my husband, who's Italian, LOVED. It mixed, kneeded, and pressed the most wonderful pasta in a short amount of time. I have since received the meat/vegetable grinder, slicer, and sausage filler attachments and can't wait to make fresh, homemade sausage and other ground meats and vegetables. One note: I love the antique copper color. It is very unique, and the only one with a "crackle" finish. It was also the only one on Amazon listed at $279--the lowest of any of the colors (some of which went up to over $400.) It looks great in my kitchen, and I'm really happy with the total purchase. Although I could have bought the 600 series (taller) since I have a center island where I don't need to worry about height, I chose this model for a variety of reasons. Looking forward to making sausage and other great food with this mixer and the attachments.

I don't like this thing....... I LOVE it! Of course I've never had one before so I might not know as much as some but I do love it. I first ordered a bigger motor pull up model. Before it was delivered I happen to see one in a local store and realized that there was no way this thing would fit on my counter. I live in a small cabin (we own a campground) and I have zero counter space let alone storage space. So I sent that one back when it was delivered. I thought maybe I would just get a better handheld mixer but I just couldn't stop wanting a kitchenaid stand mixer. I found this one and it sounded perfect. Not as strong a motor but also not as tall nor heavy. I received it about four days ago. I am now a baking fool! I've already made three cakes, 2 different kinds of cookies, four loaves of breads and a double batch of pizza dough. Wow, my husband will need to go on the biggest loser soon. This model is certainly strong enough to handle bread dough with the dough hook, easy for cakes and cookies. I did order the extra Flex Edge Beater and used it today to make one of my cakes. Love it! I was worried it would be complicated or more of a pain to set up and use and then clean up after using. It really isn't. As a matter of fact it makes everything so much easier to do and so easy to clean up. I love the glass bowl and you can't believe how quiet it is. A handmixer is so loud but this is very quiet. I love this thing. I want to make everything now. I really can't tell you just how much I'm enjoying using it.

Love it!!! Fabulous color looks exactly like the picture. Before this I had a stand/hand mixer. It was ok but cannot compare in anyway to this KitchenAid. The mixing action is art in motion coupled with the New Metro Design KA-TH Beater Blade for KitchenAid it whipped up my chocolate chip cookies perfectly. Where my last mixer couldn't handle the thick dough and would get bawged down, this KitchenAid mixer treated the same mixture as if it were mixing whipped cream. My next project for the mixer is for me to make bread dough for the first time in a mixer and not completely by hand. We'll see what happens. If anyone has any KitchenAid mixer bread making tips please contact me at [email protected].

I read some reviews that said it was difficult to gwt the glass bowl to work or fit well. I must respectfully disagree. My mom urged me to get the glass bowl because she was not a fan of the metal bowl since it was hard to tell of the mix was completely mixed together. I love my glass bowl and beautiful pearl colored artisan kitchen aide. It rocks- Read the quick use instructions and everything has been a breeze thus far. I recognize to anyone who likes to bake.

My handsome hubby surprised me with this for Valentine's Day and I could not be more pleased. I really wanted a KitchenAid for a loooong time but the price tag always put me off. Well one lonely night during deployment I found this online and couldn't believe it; a HOT PINK KitchenAid. It was like it was made for me! Anyway, I was still too sensible (read, cheap) to get it for myself but he wanted me to have it. I am very grateful. As far as I can tell it is pretty standard as far as performance goes. I have friends with KitchenAids and there is no difference in mixing times between mine and theirs. The extra money you pay with this model is all for the color. Worth every penny if you ask me. It makes me smile every time I look at it. I was worried about it throwing off the "decor" of my kitchen because mine sits on the counter but I got a cover in black and now it sits there and blends nicely. Plus when I take the cover off people always say "oooohh." Lol, it's the small things :) I did have a problem when I first got it. There were a few spots about the size of a fingertip that were unairbrushed. So they were still silver but I called KitchenAid and they had the old one picked up and the new one arrived at my doorstep in about 3 business days total. Easy and friendly. No complaints!

It’s fabulous!

Love the color and so excited to finally own one. Works great.

I wanted a stand mixer that had the glass bowl. This mixer is heavy but it is heavy duty! I love everything about it. I have already made two cake recipes that turned out much better than when I made them using only my hand mixer. Great investment.

I love this product! I am so glad that I bought it. My one recommendation is only by actual KitchenAid attachments. Do not buy cheap knock off‘s.

Great for families, great color, my wife loves it

Se recomienda comprar el bowl de acero para que no se rompa el de cristal, pero todo excelente, trae un recetario pequeño de regalo, me encanto!!!
