Kitchenaid Artisan Series


ReviewKitchenAid’s Artisan stand mixer is a significant 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 be grateful for 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 effortlessly secured to the beater shaft with a simple twist. This model likewise includes a pouring shield for guiding ingredients to their proper destination, and the bowl itself locks tight to the base. Standing when it comes to 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 finelooking as it is rugged–you’ll want to show it off. –Betsy Danheim

Easy Clean Up

5A terrifi appliance – good client support
By Kathleen
My wedding gift mixer (a Sunbeam Mixmaster) turned 33 a week before Christmas, and my husband thought it was time for me to have a new one. He gifted me on Christmas with the KitchenAid 5 Qt. Artisan in white. I love this mixer and leave it out on my counter, something I never did with the Mixmaster. I not so long ago purchased the citrus juicer attachment from Amazon and am very pleased with it as well. I have not read all 109 former reviews on this site, but I have read a few that were disgruntled because their Artisans did not mix well. I initially had the same problem with the beater/bowl clearance. It is very simple to remedy. There is a beater adjustment screw on the mixer and the manual describes how to make the adjustments. I got even better instructions by calling client aid at KitchenAid. The technician told me to drop a dime into the empty bowl, turn the mixer on (about setting 2) using the flat beater, and it will have to move the dime 1/4″ to 1/2″ each time it rotates around the bowl. This is the right clearance for the beater to mix everything at the bottom of the bowl, but not low sufficient to cause wear on the beater from ceaseless friction with the bottom of the bowl for the duration of usage. I tweaked the screw setting 1/4 turn each time until I got that dime moving. At this setting, I may now beat a single egg white to stiff peaks in the 5 qt. bowl. That’s impressive.
This mixer is as sturdy as a tank, and you may listen the quality as it mixes. Although I had antecedently purchased a KitchenAid mixer for my daughter as a gift, I would never have splurged on one for myself. I am so happy my husband thought I was worth it!

5What are you waiting for???
By A
I love this thing! I have friends who’ve had KitchenAid mixers for years and they’ve always raved regarding their quality and durability. Well, I at long last went for it and I have utterly no regrets. You want to talk when it comes to a solid piece of kitchen machinery? This is the epitome of what “Made in America” applied to mean! Unlike all the cheapo mixers out there, I’m totally convinced that this thing will even outlast ME! The only problem is now I’m marveling why I waited so long!

—–> This may aid numerous of you – I read a review someplace in which the reviewer gave this mixer a poor rating because it left arid ingredients in the bottom of the bowl – read the instruction booklet, people. It without doubt or question states that if this occurs (or if the affixations scrape the bowl), there is an adjustment screw that raises or lowers the mixing assembly. I had to somewhat lower mine and it now incorporates everything into the mix. The KitchenAid mixers are well worth the money….or you may keep buying junk mixers each couple years…the choice is yours.

5Best Mixer Ever! Love, Love, Love it! A+A+A+A+
By Mrs. Romano
This KitchenAid mixer is an magnificent investment! I just love mine! The dough hook attachment is the greatest invention ever. No more kneading! I used this fantasti machine to make 4 pounds of Pizza Geina dough without breaking a sweat. Add your ingredients, turn it on and it does the rest! It has a very powerful motor and each part of this mixer is magnificent quality and well made. It is simple to lock in the mixing bowl and it is also a breeze to clean. The dissimilar affixations are very easy to attach and remove. It would be totally unlikely not to love it! Did I mention how easy the clean up is? I love it so much I purchased the KitchenAid quilted cover for it. Once you use this mixer you will never want to use anything else! The Best!!!
