This review is from: KitchenAid KSM50HDPBK 10-Speed Stand Mixer, Imperial Black (Kitchen)
I hemmed and hawwed A LOT before taking the plunge and buying this mixer. I tend to over-research every big purchase I make and end up second guessing my decision many times over.... however, since this arrived and I've used it several times, I must say that I am very pleased with it.
To those who worry that they will not like the bowl lift (vs. the Artisan tilt) -- it's nothing to be worried about. It's so easy to use. The attachments take 2 seconds to attach and un-attach. And like any mixer, you take off the attachment and clean the batter (or whatever) out with a spatula and there you are. I read some review where the lady was concerned about wasting her batter. What?! I don't think she was un-attaching her paddle. I think she was trying to pull her bowl out from underneath -- you're not supposed to do that. Just un-attach the beater/paddle/hook and take both it and the bowl out and clean it off before you continue on with your baking. There is no wasted batter. Another helpful push toward the bowl lift -- you can use a cold water bath or warm water bath depending upon what you are making. Not so with an Artisan. Also, the pros all use bowl lifts. I think there are mechanical reasons for this. I read several things about the neck being a weak point, and also the swinging up and down causing things to shift. But I'm not an engineer so I have no idea if those are really serious issues. I also read that people LOVE their Artisans -- so like someone trying to decide between a Honda and a Toyota -- I think both are probably great choices and you wouldn't be UN-happy with either choice. (Unless something major goes wrong.) And one last thing. Everyone made it out to be this GI-NORMOUS thing that weighed more than an elephant. I'm not a big person. I don't work out. It's not THAT heavy. I'm not going to go carrying it around the house. But when it arrived, I put more oomph into picking up the box than I even needed... so, that was a pleasant surprise.

VERY different from hand-held beaters,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: KitchenAid KSM50HDPBK 10-Speed Stand Mixer, Imperial Black (Kitchen)
This product is a big transition for someone accustomed to using a hand-held beater. It's very sturdy and does not bog down with thicker batter. Mixes throughly and the splash guard is somewhat awkward, but works.
However, I wish this either tilted back or had a way for you to spin as much of the batter off the beater as possible. Disconnecting the beater and removing it while the bowl is still in place leaves more batter than I like on the beater and trying to remove the bowl with the beater still attached is even worse. I spend too much time scraping batter off the beater. Maybe buyers who are not as cheap as I am won't be bothered by this, but I hate to waste anything.

This review is from: KitchenAid KSM50HDPBK 10-Speed Stand Mixer, Imperial Black (Kitchen)
great performance and love the no fingerprint black color. i am very happy that all my old bowls and beaters and attachments fit this new machine. my former K-5 died after 40 years of constant use. i expect a long time of reliable service from this one too.
