I forgot what it was like using a stand mixer to mix cake, cookies etc since I have been using a hand mixer for quite sometime now. This Artisan mixer is really worth every dollar. Seems very well built and heavy duty, and fits well on my counter, where it will remain since I will be using it very often.
I save sooooo much time mixing now, the mixer is much quieter than my hand mixer, and the results so much better. No problems with ingredients sticking at the bottom, everything mixes in very well. I looked at other brands and decided on this one based on the reviews.
ANd I got this at $199 less the $25 discount - that's a deal.
It arrived before the date stated by Amazon. Good service.
Cons -
The main problem is that I do find that the bowl is rather small, for such a big and powerful mixer, and someone like me who bakes alot. I made a batch of coconut sweet bread recently - about 1lb butter, then almost couldn't get all of the ingredients in. It was filled to the very top, and I had to stir the final half of the flour in by hand. This type of quantity is what I like baking regularly, since I give to my friends and family, and I love baking large amounts, so the bowl is a bit of a problem.
I was also a bit disappointed that the color was not as bright a red as I expected. The photos and the box shows a different shade to the actual item. But I can live with that little hitch.
I would have given five stars, except for the small bowl. So 4 to 4 1/2 is my rating.
