KitchenAid's Artisan stand mixer is a substantial piece of equipment: 325 watts of mixing power make infant'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. 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. --Betsy Danheim Editor's note: This is a reconditioned small appliance. Reconditioned generally means that the appliance has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the appliance back to like-new condition. Some appliances may contain cosmetic blemishes.

Great product!
This product is beautiful, came in perfect condition and works beautifully. Buying refurbished can be great because products that sometimes are out of our budget can be affordable! Also, sometimes the product is in better condition (operationally) than the original.
Great buy!

Love it!
I all ready owned a kitchenaid artisan mixer in red and loved it! I was in need of another one and saved over $100 on the reconditioned one. It arrived looking brand new. Nothing missing, no scratches on the mixer itself. Minor scratches on the inside of the bowl, but no biggie!!

Using it, not going to lose it.
I bought this for my wife, and told her it would be a good idea to find any flaws during the first 6 months. She took the hint and has been cooking up a storm. Everything from scrambled eggs to pizza dough goes in there. It seems to work well, though I can't help thinking the gear train could be a little quieter. One-and-a-half-ton Priuses use electric motors and are inaudible. ("Could be quieter" doesn't mean "Should be silent or get your money back")
