Enough Said!. Hubby splurged and spoiled me for Christmas. I could pick out the color I wanted, which was pistachio green. I had an older, vintage-looking KitchenAid years ago that I had to leave behind when we moved across the country twenty-one years ago, and I'm not gonna lie, I missed it. Hubby knew this and decided I needed a new, updated version.This tilt head stand mixer is everything I wanted in a mixer, and then some. The 5-qt bowl attaches firmly to the base so it doesn't wobble during mixing. The mixer came with a wire whisk, a paddle attachment, and the coveted dough hook. Every time I use it, my KitchenAid mixer outshines everything else I've ever had. Cookie dough? Effortless. Batter for my homemade egg bites? Stellar performance. The eggs come out fluffy every time. I can't wait to make my first batch of pizza dough in this beauty, but I already know it will be the best I've ever had. One, because the KitchenAid made it simple, and two, because it's homemade.This will be the last mixer I'll ever need, and because it's a KitchenAid, I'm confident that it will last for the rest of my life. It's a name I've always trusted, and with good reason. For more than 100 years, they've made quality products that endure the test of time.

This mixer is one of those items for a baking enthusiast where if you don't have one, it doesn't seem like such a big deal but when you do get one, you can't imagine life without it. I've had my mixer for about 9 months now and I absolutely can't imagine my life without it. It makes any task that involves any form of mixing significantly easier, and mixes the contents to perfection. I got the mixer in the \"Ice Blue\" shade and it is so beyond gorgeous. It is a beautiful addition to my countertop and I constantly have people remarking on the gorgeous shade, reminding them of an old fashioned milk shake maker. I know the colour doesn't really affect the performance but if you're going to spend this much money on a mixer, at least get one as sexy as this one!! I've included a photo in my kitchen in natural daylight for a more true to life representation of what the colour looks like.Anyways about the machine... the machine itself is deceptively heavy and very sturdy. Its can whip or beat ingredients for long periods of time without getting overheated. I've never had the machine poop out on me. You really feel like you're getting a solid product with this mixer. The capacity is perfect for I'd imagine most things a baker would be doing in their own home- small batches of muffins or cookies, cakes, icing, bread, mashed potatoes etc. The mixer comes with 5 different attachments- the wire whip, dough hook, flat beater, stainless steel bowl, and spray guard. This is where my review takes a bit of a turn-- in my box, the wire whip came with a metallic coating, and the dough hook and flat beater came coated in paint so they are white. While I have had zero issues with my dough hook to date, the metallic coating on the wire whip constantly rubs off and finds itself in the food, and the paint on the flat beater has experienced significant chipping- oddly, on areas where the beater makes no contact with the bowl or attachment location. I absolutely never throw these pieces in the dishwasher and my mixer height is adjusted as per the directions so the only thing really left to blame is poor quality of the attachments. As well, the stainless steel bowl that came with the mixer locks into the mixer with grooves on the base which have been almost completely stripped like a screw in the 9 months of using the mixer and no longer locks into position, which is pretty disappointing given the product is less than a year old! Cheers to KitchenAid though as I contacted them a few weeks ago about these issues and they sent new replacements for all the damaged pieces, free of charge to me. Hooray for fantastic customer service. Mistakes can happen in production but when the company takes responsibility as KitchenAid did, you have a satisfied customer in me!Generally speaking, I think the quality of this product is absolutely fantastic. The machine itself is amazingly powerful and accomplishes everything I could expect and more. I think where people will notice the biggest differences in their cooking is when it comes to making doughs or breads. For Christmas my family always makes perogies from scratch and this year, I used the mixer for the dough instead and it was completely different. The dough hook was able to knead the dough enough to make it so smooth and light. I was floored at the difference from previous years when the dough was hand mixed and the dough had always seemed dense and lumpy no matter how much manual kneading you did. As for the new attachments, only time will tell how they hold up but so far I haven't experienced any chipping on the flat beater or smudging on the wire whip which happened immediately after receiving the original attachments. I absolutely recommend this item, especially coupled with the fantastic service you can expect from KitchenAid in the case of any issues!!","date":"2026-02-21","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"kitchenaid-artisan-5-qt-tilt-head-stand-mixer","source":"Amazon","sourceUrl":"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00005UP2P","author":"Canadian mama","rating":5,"text":"Easy to clean.

It would cause them to lose their top guys to another tour and they get nothing out of it.  Not to mention that fans of the current european tour now cant watch their favorite players almost at all because of time differences and may stop watching all together.\n\n\nNext problem is what does adding a higher level tour even achieve?  It just costs the PGA a lot more money to run while not bringing in new viewers(why would someone who doesn't watch golf now suddenly watch the pgl?) and now the regular pga tour events are considered second rate events with *maybe* a top guy or two which will tank ratings for those events.

I do not make bread with the mixer,  I have a bread machine but it would easily make two small loaves or a regular loaf. The other thing is that the bigger ones are all over 20# in weight and toting it around in the kitchen is cumbersome. The mini, with the advantages mentioned, in my opinion is a better choice overall. When all is said and done, Consider how much at one time of something you will want to make. Like I mentioned, we make bread and have two machines- a 2 lb machine and a 1 pound machine. We use the 1 lb more often as it makes about 8 slices or like half a loaf. We eat and it is gone. The two pound machine makes big loaves but it gets old before we eat it all so it is for company's sake. Same with this mixer. How much at once do you regularly need?","date":"2024-01-06","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"kitchenaid-artisan-5-qt-tilt-head-stand-mixer","source":"YouTube","sourceUrl":"https://youtube.com/watch?v=xlcfZl2cIMY","author":"@DavidNguyễn-o8q","rating":null,"text":"The reason to buy the mini is that not everyone has a huge house, large kitchen to store the larger mixer. The mini is small enough for my small nyc apartment and still able to fit inside the base cabinets.

You can adjust the Tilthead mixer to change the height of the beater. The flex edge beater is nice but in certain batters I prefer the standard beater as a flex beater tents to Splash more thinner batters. My hand is large enough where I can actually hold the bowl by its base and have a fairly firm grip on it. Another thing about the mini is I don't think the ice cream maker attachment is compatible with it so I would go with the classic if you want to make ice cream.","date":"2024-07-15","sentiment":"neutral"},{"productId":"kitchenaid-artisan-5-qt-tilt-head-stand-mixer","source":"YouTube","sourceUrl":"https://youtube.com/watch?v=xlcfZl2cIMY","author":"@hawayundoing","rating":null,"text":"Thank you for the video it helped me understand each model!
