I have previously used an Accolade (the ex got it - ha ha ha) and recently decided to buy my own KitchenAide Mixer. I got a deal on this with the Amazon "Save $25 on $125" promo (that seems to be forever ongoing) AND a $25 rebate from the manufacturer (do an iternet search for rebates). Think I paid less than $125 for it.
It is perfect for making my homemade bird suet, cookie dough, mixing cakes, kneading bread etc.
The only drawback I can find is that the "better" Accolade item has a nifty handle that raises and lowers the mixer's head. I miss that. Also, this Artisan model doesn't have the holder arm device that the bowl rests on that you can raise and lower - instead the Artisan's mixing bowl kind of "screws/locks" onto the base - not as handy to remove, when your hands may be greasy from kitchen chores -- as you have to grip the handle of the mixing bowl and then use your other hand to steady the base -- so you can unscrew it.
Overall -- the Accolade is far better from a design point of view - but it IS also MUCH more expensive. I'll stick happily with this model and know that I took my "ex's favorite" chocolate chip cookie recipe written by his mother -- with me when I left - Ha! He may have got the mixer - but the "dough" is mine! Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!Get more detail about KitchenAid KSM150PSER Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Empire Red.
