KitchenAid KSM150PSWH Artisan Series Stand Mixer

A great helping hand for home bakers... if you can...

Strengths: Very robust, good build quality, and great classical look. The tilt-head style makes it very easy to access the bowl and change the beater/mixer attachment.

Weakness: Heavy. Don't plan on storing this away in a cupboard and bringing it out every time you need to use it.

Although pricey compared to hand-mixers, KitchenAid stand-mixers are very convenient to have if you do a lot of baking. It frees you up and allows you work on other things while it's mixing your batter/dough. The Artisan series is smaller than the Professional and Commercial models, but should definitely be large and powerful enough for the typical home baker. In addition, the Artisan model...

A must have for every kitchen

Strengths: Very user-friendly machine, easy to clean

Weakness: A little heavy to move around.

We bought this machine for ourselves and it has made life easier for us in the kitchen. It also comes with a cookbook that contains quite a number of recipes. A powerful 325 Watt motor makes any kneading/baking job a "Cake Walk" for us now. I would highly-recommend this machine for any household.

Solid Machine

Strengths: Well constructed (solid & heavy), no problem with pizza dough, easy to use, easy to clean. Think it will last for a long time.

Weakness: None yet...

I got this as a birthday gift for my wife and she loves it. I enjoy using it too as I can make pizza dough in just a few minutes and it does all the work. I just dump in the ingredients and 3 minutes later it's ready to roll out on the pan. This stand mixer is solid and looks great just sitting out on the countertop. Now I just need to figure out what attachments I'm going to by for it. Can't go...

Not your mother's mixer... wait -- yes it is!

Strengths: -Solid all-metal housing -Heavy duty switches -Enormous bowl (but its TALL instead of WIDE...excellent!) -Expandable via attachments

Weakness: -Fairly large footprint -Weighs about as much as three elephants -Only a one-year warranty from KitchenAid (I bought on credit card though, which doubles the warranty! Highly suggest doing that...)

I'm a 21-year old guy, I've inherited some (at least at this point) solid cooking skills from my mother, who has taught me well. One thing though -- she's not a baker. Which is probably why I wouldn't say I am either! Funny how that works... So, to challenge myself, I started baking things (giving myself weekly projects to tackle). Bread seemed like a valuable thing to make -- it's an everyday...

Good KitchenAid mixer

Strengths: Reliability, easy to use

Weakness: None

This KitchenAid mixer has enough power for most day to day tasks. It is especially useful when mixing cake flour and Chapathi (indian bread) flour. The controls are easy to use and it is easy to clean. No problems.

Great Mixer

Strengths: Great mixing action, This Tilt Head Design is a Smaller Size than the Kitchenaid lift Mixer, powerful, sharp modern design

Weakness: None come to mind

I owned a Kitchenaid lift mixer and in my small Kitchen it was simply too big. If you have lots of space that may be a great choice too. I could not keep that model on the counter so it was very inconvenient; however, this mixer fits nicely on my small counter. I also have a 220 watt, 9 speed Cuisinart hand mixer which is fine for smaller jobs. It simply does not mix as thoroughly as this mixer...

Best mixer in its class

Strengths: Strong motor, great reputation, attachments available

Weakness: A little expensive, add-on accessories a little pricey

OK I picked this up for under $200 with a promo for a free slicer attachment through 5/31 from the manufacturer (applies no matter where you buy it and the mfg runs these specials from time to time from what I hear). My girlfriend just started using it and she bakes as a hobby (More of an enthusiast) so she will be putting this thing to good use. Not a lot of time under so far but initial build...

White may not be a good idea

Strengths: Easy to use, lot of attachment choices,

Weakness: not that powerful,

we use this to make the dumpling, pasta, and it's easy and quick to get the work done. However, I think it's power still not good enough to me. Sometimes I have to re-mix with my won "hand-tools". If you just want to have it work for general mixing, it's a good product.
