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
I love my kitchenaid. It is great for making pizza doughs and bringing the mixing bowl directly to the fridge to chill and rise overnight. Great mixing ability and makes baking fun, even though sometimes using flour can be a mess :). Easy to clean bowl, try to get this product when it goes on sale. Get the factory reconditioned one, mine was in perfect condition and a 6 month factory warranty is never a bad choice. Great BUY

3 years down, and hoping for 50 more!
I bought mine in 2005, it's delivered on everything from bread dough to egg-white meringue. I prefer this stand mixer with the flip up head rather than the bowl w/ crank arm because you can remove the bowl without tilting it. I've had dough in this mixer that was almost impossible to manipulate by hand (trial and error, ha ha) and the motor had no problem turning it. It's saved me many hours of hand-mixing, and I've come to depend on it for most of my cooking. Here's to another 50 years! I also love the subtle, matte chrome finish, looks so elegant and matches everything in my kitchen.
