[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After 35 years of using my white KitchenAid mixer, it was finally time to get a new one. I couldn't wait until the Artisan Series 5 quart tilt=head stand mixer arrived! It's here, I used it, I love it!! I'm sure it will last another 35 years!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have wanted this stand mixer forever and was finally able to purchase not one but two... We gave one to our son as he loves to make authentic home made ramen dishes. Now with the mixer and the optional pasta roller he will be able to create delicious noodles to go with them. I wanted one for baking, breads in particular my dad used to make the best home made bread loaves and I can't wait. I also want to dive into making home made sausages using the meat grinder and sausage stuffing attachment. Both units were bundled with the box grater shredder slicer attachment we will use these like crazy. Thx

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife always wanted the stand mixer and we are extremely happy with it accept for the "arm" does not lock in the upward position and is a safety hazard. We returned the original stand mixer we bought that had the same locking problem. The replacement standing mixer has the same problem. Charles Koeneke

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I grew up in a Kitchenaid household. My mom always said they were the best! We always had a Kitchenaid dishwasher, mixer, etc. When I got married in 1985 my mom gave me a Kitchenaid stand mixer. I was young and didn't appreciate a good appliance yet. I returned it and bought a tent! The tent was well used, but is long gone. I've hand mixed most of my recipes for the past 35 years, wishing I'd kept that mixer! This year I finally have a brand new Kitchenaid Artisan stand mixer. I love it!! My baked goods are now light and fluffy... using the exact same recipes! It's amazing to think that a mixer could improve the quality of the food!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this kitchen-aid and I was a little worried that I really didn’t need it and it would collect dust. WRONG! I love it. I make pasta and bread. I slice and dice. I spiral veggies. I can’t believe I waited all these years to get one! If you are trying to decide - just do it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve wanted this mixer for a long time and finally treated myself to it for a BIG birthday in November. The timing was perfect for making so many of my holiday goodies. I’m still getting used to turning it off and unlocking the head to lift it in order to scrape down the sides and add ingredients, but that will come with time. I’m looking forward to trying the spiral, shredder attachments that came with my mixer as part of a special promotion.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is amazing! Hands free mixing/slicing/shredding at its BEST! As I have very arthritic hands and using a hand mixer was becoming painful, I decided to purchase a KitchenAid Artisan 5 quart mixer which includes a fresh prep slicer/shredder. It's a lifesaver and makes cooking/baking a pleasure!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my stand mixer as a gift from my husband about a month ago. I had wanted one for years and haved used it for a variety of things. The dough hook makes bread making so much easier. I highly recommend the Kitchenaid mixer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved making my Christmas cookies with my new mixer, as well as grinding chicken for my chicken burgers, and meat for my aging puppies food. Life is easier with a great kitchen tool, and my mixer is it. I need to get to the store and get some veggies so I can use my shredder to help me eat healthier in the new year!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my mixer as a gift. It is one I had been looking at to buy. So far I like my mixer. I wish it came with a smaller bowl as well as the 5 quart. It does a good job however you do have to scrape the bottom of the bowl as that doesn't seem to mix along with the rest of the dough.
