It is a wonderful, powerful stand mixer. $199.00 is a good price for a brand new (not referbished) stand mixer and standard shipping was free. I had to re-adjust the mixer attachment height by turning a screw on mixer. I also got $25 off from Amazon VISA credit card and $30 check from Kitchenaid rebate making final mixer cost $144. Save your paid receipt and proof of purchase from shipping box to get rebate.
I bought a used slicer/shredder attachment seperately from Ebay for $28.26 total.
I sewed a cloth cover for this mixer. I downloaded its pattern from the Internet.Get more detail about KitchenAid KSM150PSER Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Empire Red.
