Product Description
Amazon.com Review
KitchenAid's Artisan stand mixer is a substantial piece of equipment: 325 watts of mixing power make child's play of creaming butter, kneading dough, and whipping cream. The kid in you will appreciate how quick and easy it is to mix up a batch of cookie dough. This model comes with three attachments: a flat beater for making batter, meat loaf, and all textures in-between; a wire whip for egg whites, mayonnaise, and more air-infused creations; and a hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs. All three are solidly constructed and easily secured to the beater shaft with a simple twist. This model also includes a pouring shield for guiding ingredients to their proper destination, and the bowl itself locks tight to the base. Standing about 15 inches high, jutting out a foot, and weighing more than a grown woman's bowling ball, this stand mixer isn't the sort of appliance you'll wipe down and put away. Better to find a square foot of free counter space for easy access; besides, this machine is as pretty as it is rugged--you'll want to show it off. --Betsy Danheim
From the Manufacturer
The Artisan mixer's strong 325-watt motor delivers the power to handle the heaviest mixtures, and mix large batches easily.
The 5-quart polished stainless steel bowl with ergonomic handle is big enough to handle large batches of heavy mixtures. Its ergonomically designed handle is contoured to fit the hand and makes lifting the bowl more comfortable.
Unique Mixing Action
The beater spins clockwise as the shaft spins counter clockwise; moving the beater to 67 different points around the bowl. This unique mixing action creates a thorough blend of ingredients and eliminates the need to rotate the bowl.
Multiple Speeds
10 speeds allow the user to select the right speed for the mixing job; from very high to very slow stir. It's easy to select the precise speed needed for a perfect mix.
Versatile Accessories 
The flat beater, dough hook, and the professional wire whip add to the versatility of the mixer. The flat beater is the ideal accessory for mixing normal to heavy batters. From cake mixes to firm cookie dough, the flat beater mixes quickly and thoroughly.
The dough hook mixes and kneads yeast dough, saving both time and the effort of hand-kneading. The wire whip incorporates the maximum amount of air in whipped mixtures for fluffier whipped cream and angel food cakes.
All attachments are solidly constructed, and attach easily to the stand mixer.
Easy Clean Up
The pouring shield fits around the top of the bowl and prevents ingredient splash-out. The chute makes it convenient and easy to add ingredients.
The tilt-back mixer head allows for easy access to bowl and beaters. A lock lever holds the mixer head securely in place and the bowl fastens tightly to the base.
Optional Attachments 
Optional attachments (sold separately) complete the package to make cooking a pleasure. From citrus juicer to sausage stuffer, KitchenAid stand mixers can handle just about any job in the kitchen.
Product Description
Lavender is lovely, and not a color one often sees in kitchen electrics. More is more sometimes, at least in the world of small appliances. KitchenAid has introduced a new member of the stand mixer family, known as the Artisan mixer. It has a tilting head, like the KSM90, but it has a larger 5 qt. capacity bowl. It also gives you more oomph, as in 325 watts of cookie dough busting power. What's not to love? If you've been considering a stand mixer, this may be the perfect "starter model" for you.

Finally got me a KitchenAid mixer!,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: KitchenAid KSM150PSLV Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Lavender (Kitchen)
I've always wanted a KA stand mixer, but never had the space for it. So finally after getting shelving for the kitchen, I decided to purchase one for myself as a Mother's Day gift. I debated between getting a refurb or a new one, and opted for a new one in Lavender (dh has had problems with refub products in the past).On first inspection, the motor made very loud grinding and clacking noises and there was a gap at the rear left of the motor housing. KA said 8-10 hrs of use would take care of the noise, but they'd send another one right away. I received the new one in a few days, and the metal KA band was loose and the ring around the revolving stem was crooked (causing a gap into the housing). The speed knob was also a bit "sticky". KA said they'd send one right away and I'm waiting for it to arrive. Meanwhile, I've been using the first one to make cookies, brownies, cakes, and breads with no problems whatsoever, and the noises have lessened as KA promised. Kneading is now a breeze, and the shield/spout is great. My kids have been making cookies without needing my muscles for the last bit of mixing. So, I think the mixer is great, but wish KA paid more attention to details. And they do have great customer service, being happy to replace the unit for any defect that I found. I hope the 3rd one will be perfect. *** Received the 3rd mixer after requesting that it be inspected again before shipping. This one is fine -- no gaps, no loose pieces, no funny noises. I have no problems mixing double batches of 50% whole wheat breads (though now I'll have to find new ways to work out my arms!) *** After almost a year, the mixer started making high-pitched rubbing noises and the "head-lock" occasionally sticks. KA sent a replacement with a couple of sharp paint protrusions and some rubber gasket sticking out under the band. Also, the paddle & dough hook were not burnished metal. Another one on its way. ** After ~7 replacements since original purchase, Kitchenaid has refunded me the purchase price on this mixer. There has been something wrong (cosmetic and function) with every one they sent me. I ended up purchasing their commercial model (KSMC50) since I've already invested money in attachments. So far, it's perfect. Possibly problems with quality control on the Artisan model. Regardless, customer service is exceptional.

This is one great appliance,

This review is from: KitchenAid KSM150PSLV Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Lavender (Kitchen)
I plunged headlong into kitchen appliance ownership when I purchased my KitchenAid about two months ago. I live with roommates who have all the basics: blender, toaster, microwave, etc., so I decided I could justify splurging on this gorgeous piece of machinery.It was an inspired idea on my part, and one I don't regret a bit. My KitchenAid supplies the "chic" part of my kitchen's shabby-chic aesthetic. Not only is it very good-looking, it's very functional. It makes bread dough with incredible ease. It whips cream. It makes phenomenal cream-cheese frosting. I am eagerly anticipating the holiday season, as I plan to make dozens and dozens of cookies to distribute to my grateful friends and family. (This is made possible in part by the 5-quart capacity of the Artisan model's bowl.) I could go on and on, but in short, while I am not by any means an expert cook, I recommend that anyone who enjoys cooking at all and has the money to spend purchase a KitchenAid.

Best kitchen tool EVER!!!,

This review is from: KitchenAid KSM150PSLV Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Lavender (Kitchen)
This mixer made very short work of chocolate chip cookie dough, oatmeal raisin cookie dough, and fudge brownie mix. Throughly mixes all ingrediants, no problems with any ingrediants left on side, in bottom, etc. This machine is a cook's and baker's dream come true. I absolutely love it, and it looks good too!
