highly recommended

Retro styled and easy to use, the KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer is the perfect kitchen companion. Employing a unique tilting head to facilitate bowl and content removal, this mixer is undeniably handy. Hassle-free total replacement warranty and one-year full warranty. Model KSM150PS.

Professional necessity

Save strength and save time, I have been not busy and exhausted any more in kneading dough. But one problem with my machine when kneading bread dough at 4 speed, the motor-head shakes(the head is locked of cause), while the dough is not very solid at all. Perhaps my machines' head lock is not locked tightly.

All in all, I think this machine does a fabulous job efficiently and professionally. I strongly recommend it.

wonderfully powerful mixer

In the short time (6 months) that I have used this mixer, I would say I like it very, very much, but it sure is heavy and so it sits atop of my counter. And, I've NEVER seen the price lower.

Great Great Mixer!

We were given this mixer as a wedding present and it is great! I've made the best pizza dough that ever came from my kitchen with it and it was unbelievably simple.

The only problem I have is it moves, VERY slightly, when kneading something dense and heavy like bread dough. I'm not sure there is anything that could be done about it because the product is very heavy as it is.

Great Mixer But Cost Money to Maintain

We bought our KSM150 in 2004. It works great and we like it but it does have a design flaw that takes skill and money to replace. The transmission casing is metal and all gears except one are metal. The one non-metal gear is a worm gear that is plastic part number W10112253. Jot this number down as you will need to purchase it several times along with replacement grease. When using the mixer for stiff batters or bread dough, you can not push the 2-min limitation given in the manual. If you do, the plastic gear gets hot and fails. When this happens, you need a variety of tools, a specific repair manual and about an hour of time to replace the worm gear with a new one. I've done it three times in four years. I've talked with KitchenAid about this design flaw and they seem unreceptive to making a metal gear for this model as they have done with their professional 600 series which also had the same problem although with a plastic transmission casing instead of a plastic gear as with this model. It seems like they keep trying to push plastic in their mixers and it just doesn't hold up with time. For now, I'll probably keep replacing the plastic worm gear when it fails since I bought it in bulk the last time to save money. However, my next mixer will have all metal transmission and gearing and probably won't be KitchenAid.
