Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer - KSM150PS

I believe that a KitchenAid mixer is a staple in most kitchens. It is such a versatile machine, I believe that there are some recipes that just can’t turn out properly without one. Growing up, my grandmother had a KitchenAid older than me and that thing was a TANK. It still IS a tank, as it was passed to my mother and she uses it and displays it proudly on her kitchen counter! This Artisan just doesn’t have the UMPH that my grandmothers mixer has. The first thing I made with it was pretzels and it seemed to struggle with dough straight out of the box. This thing got HOT while mixing, so I am a little weary of using it for dough from then on. It mixes everything else flawlessly and it’s nice to be able to set and forget and have both hands free instead of using a hand mixer. The accessories for the mixer make it more and more useful and they can be so worth it! All accessories made within the last 60 or so years will fit any model, which is a testament to the reliability and legend of the KitchenAid brand. It’s just a shame that they’re so expensive. I purchased this mixer sometime around October 2023 and this is my 6+ month review. I’ll be giving it 4 stars because it seems to be less capable than the one I grew up using, which is a shame.

It’s so pretty! Sturdy that’s for sure, the only reason i gave it 4 stars is because it came scratched, and I haven’t used it so I’m hoping it wasn’t used since I paid for a NEW mixer.

This mixer is great! High quality, easy to use, sturdy, powerful, just great overall. I definitely recommend, and it’s exactly as advertised. Also, I ordered the milkshake color and was nervous it wouldn’t look the same in person - but it’s exactly as pictured and is somewhere between a light grey and a greige, depending on the lighting. I was worried it would look tan, but it really doesn’t. However, I ordered milkshake colored oven mits that are Kitchenaid and those are definitely tan colored. I’m returning those.

This KitchenAid cake mixer is absolutely worth it. It’s powerful, reliable, and makes baking so much easier and more enjoyable. The mixing is smooth and consistent, whether I’m making cake batter, frosting, or dough. It feels incredibly well-made and sturdy, and it saves me so much time and effort in the kitchen. If you love baking, this mixer is a must-have and a true kitchen staple. Super easy to use!

This purchase was to replace the KitchenAid mixer we had for about 20 years. This one looks to be just as robust.
