Shop For KitchenAid KSM150PSER Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Empire Red


Using the Amazon web site to order was easy and convenient. Delivery was on time and in perfect condition. The KitchenAid Artisan does everything it claims to do. It has more than enough power and handles very easily. It is flexible enough to do many jobs, especially if accessories are used.

In comparing it with our previous mixer, a Sunbeam Mixmaster, my wife likes the extra power. However she does miss the wider bowl of the Mixmaster and the two counter-rotating blades which she feels did a better job of blending ingredients quickly.

I looked at the larger KitchenAid mixers and decided that they were too big and heavy to be convenient for using and storing under the countertop. Also the larger models do not have the tilt-up design which pulls the blade completely out of the bowl.Get more detail about KitchenAid KSM150PSER Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Empire Red.

The mixer I received from Amazon had two defects. The bowl was jammed onto the base so tight that I had to use a rubber mallet to remove it. The cause was a burr on the stainless steel bowl thread . The paint finish on the base was nicked in several places and had been touched up with paint. A call to KitchenAid resulted in a great response. They sent me a new mixer from the factory and a free return vis UPS for the defective unit. New unit is perfect.Get more detail about KitchenAid KSM150PSER Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Empire Red.

This purchase was actually a gift for my daughter. However, I am happy to report that she is absolutely thrilled with the Artisan Mixer. She bakes something almost every day and she says the mixer is the finest she has ever used. She has neuropathy in her hands, so the mixer makes baking a breeze....pain free!Get more detail about KitchenAid KSM150PSER Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Empire Red.

KitchenAid KSM150PSER Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Empire Red Top Quality


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.

I got the Artisan about a month ago. Just in time for the holidays. I've made an untold number of cookie batches already and no matter what I throw at it, the mixer handles it beautifully. I got it with the Mixer Bible. It just makes sense to spend the extra $13.00 since it's such a great intro to the machine. The book gives all kinds of helpful tips and over 300 great recipes.
