I've had my KA Artisan for about a year now. In that time I've put it to work a great deal. I've typically baked with it and I think it preforms very well for that function. It goes without saying that it beats the life out of a hand mixer. Heavy doughs and double recipes seem to be no problem for this mixer. A few months ago I got the pasta roller and the food grinder. Both of these attachments have been great. I was given The Mixer Bible as a gift and I love that too. I use it a lot with my new attachments (great for pasta recipes), but it also has a great deal of recipes for just the regular attachments.
Because I love my mixer and attachments so much, I went out and got the pasta maker attachment(supposed to work like an extruder), and have had no luck at all working with that one (no wonder the book doesn't have any recipes for that attachment). It just doesn't work at all.
So...in brief, the mixer is well worth owning, The Mixer Bible is well worth owning, the pasta roller and food grinder are both good. Don't bother with the pasta maker. Get more detail about KitchenAid KSM150PSER Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Empire Red.
