For the most part I have had great success with KitchenAid products. I purchased the Artisan before my Christmas baking for the increased power and bowl size over the KitchenAid Classic which I have had for well over 10 years. I immediately had to adjust the height of the beaters (which is supposed to be preset at the factory) because they were scraping the bottom of the bowl. This didn't work. I had already given my daughter my Classic so I was desperate for a good mixer. I took it to a repair shop to have a new bolt added because it was broken on the mixer I had ordered. I figured it would have taken a long time to send it off and receive a replacement. This seems to work OK but my Classic was still a better-made mixer.Get more detail about KitchenAid KSM150PSER Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Empire Red.
