Editorial Review:
More is more sometimes, at least in the world of small appliances. KitchenAid has introduced a new member of the stand mixer family, known as the Artisan mixer. It has a tilting head, like the KSM90, but it has a larger 5 qt. capacity bowl. It also gives you more oomph, as in 325 watts of cookie dough busting power. What's not to love? If you've been considering a stand mixer, this may be the perfect "starter model" for you.
I bought this mixer for myself about five years ago. It was so great that I gave one to each of my two daughters as bridal shower gifts, and plan to give one to my third daughter next summer when she gets married. We use them often and they've never let us down.
Tonight I tried making a wet dough (imagine thick pancake batter). Needed to mix 12 minutes on medium - longest I've ever mixed something. It was banging and rocking and thumping all over the counter. We found it was because the bowl would not twist into it's dock. If you forced it in, there was NO WAY you'd ever get it off again. I was afraid of warping the bowl, seizing the motor, or knocking the paint off the paddle with my attempts at mixing...so why use it at all???!
Oh, and med and high mixing speeds don't seem to be any different.
I wrote to Kitchenaid and am awaiting a response. Right now, it feels like a very expensive, giant paperweight.

Customer Reviews:
quite heavy
it's an attractive appliance. My wife has only used it once or twice in the last 10 months, but seems to enjoy it. Hard to say how durable because we've hardly used it, but that's because my wife doesn't do much baking. 2008-10-03

Gets hot, mixing bowl does not anchor properly
Bought this mixer 6 months ago. Have used it only a few times for easy (i.e.soft) baked goodies. Simply creaming sugar and butter leaves the mixer scary hot and smelling like it's starting to burn. It seemed loud and it rumbled and bounced a lot while mixing.
Tonight I tried making a wet dough (imagine thick pancake batter). Needed to mix 12 minutes on medium - longest I've ever mixed something. It was banging and rocking and thumping all over the counter. We found it was because the bowl would not twist into it's dock. If you forced it in, there was NO WAY you'd ever get it off again.
