My husband gave me a Kitchen Aid professional stand mixer for Christmas...it was too large and the head didn't tilt back. I returned that one and got a white Kitchen Aid Artisan stand mixer. The professional mixer was great...just too bulky for me for just home use. The Artisan has the higher wattage motor that I wanted (325watts) and the tilt back head feature that is so convenient! I use this mixer exclusively...no more digging around to find my hand-held mixer. I leave it out on my counter all of the time and that makes it ultra convenient. I was worried about mashing potatoes, that they would become cold going into the bowl of the mixer, but that is not the case. If you use cold or hot water baths...this is not the mixer for you since there is no way to put another bowl of water under the bowl of this mixer. You would need to get a mixer with a lift such as the Professional or Epicurean Kitchen Aid. You won't be dissappointed with this mixer!Get more detail about KitchenAid KSM150PSER Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Empire Red.
