There are already many great reviews of this outstanding product, and all I can really add s : just go ahead and order it. Amazon has the best prices, and if you're debating between the Pro model vs Artisan, you can't go wrong either way. There both plenty powerful and big enough for any home uses. The tilt-head Artisan series is more compact and easier for most people to use, so it will likely be the best choice (the price difference doesn't hurt either). My girlfriend and I became a little too attached with the notion of the Pro model, and it almost made us delay the purchase (until we could afford it). I'm glad we wised up and ordered the Artisan.
A few observations:
* The power is impressive yet easy to manage
* The noise is moderate and unobtrusive
* The tilt head is very well balanced
* The unit is very heavyGet more detail about KitchenAid KSM150PSER Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Empire Red.
