35 years ago I got the larger KitchenAid to use in bread making and grinding flour, the one that cranks the bowl up. It was impressive in both power and construction but alas it now belongs to someone else.
This is the little brother (325 watt vs 575 watt motor). It was also purchased for use in bread making and grinding flour. It has a couple of advantages over its big brother: (1) it fits on the counter under the cupboards and (2) the tilt head makes getting the mixing bowl in and out easier than was the case with the larger KitchenAid mixer.
While the construction of this unit seems to be as good as the old one the assembly left a bit to be desired. The ring around the drive for the beaters was not properly seated (easily fixed) and the label band was not properly seated at the back where it is screwed to the housing, which took a little more work to fix properly. Finally, the slot for the anti-twist pin that all attachments have needed to be radiused on the bottom, the casting had excess material that prevented the pins from seating properly and needed to be cut away. Not too much work to fix.
Otherwise it arrived in perfect condition.
The mixing beaters work fine for mixing dry or sloppy ingredients. The dough hook works fine for a standard loaf of bread dough, not sure how it will do with dough for two loaves.
The splatter shield leaves a lot to be desired. It does not attach to the bowl firmly, it is a bit warped so it does not sit down properly all the way around, and it needs to be held in place by hand. It isn't really needed if the speed is started slow and not raised too much while mixing ingredients. This part has been squirreled away in a dark place as a useless piece of equipment.
To grind flour I purchased a Mockmill which attaches to the KitchenAid as if it were OEM equipment, an item I'll review once it has been used a few times. The Mockmill, as advertised, is shown attached to this KitchenAid model so I'm sure it has more than enough power to grind flour with this mill.
My take on all those broken beaters mentioned in other reviews is that they were used to mix ingredients that were either too viscous for that beater or the speed was set too high. That said I'm not impressed with the dough hook but the shape is right and it seems to have no trouble kneading enough dough for one loaf. Purchasing a backup may be a good idea.
To avoid destroying the machine should something lock up the beater KitchenAid put one gear in the drive train that will break up so as not to damage the rest of the drive train. The replacement isn't too expensive so it is my recommendation that one backup replacement should be kept on hand to avoid putting the machine out of commission until the replacement part arrives. Probably overkill though.

The BEST thing I've ever purchased
I absolutely LOVE this kitchenAid Artisan stand mixer. It is by far the best investment that I have ever purchased for my kitchen. My favorite color is blue so that's the one that I chose to buy. My hobby is baking & with this mixer everything that I mix up is so much fun & easy to do. I've made many cakes for friends & family & I always make my own buttercream icing & this product makes it turn out so creamy AND I no longer have to wear myself out using the hand mixer anymore. All I have to do is put my ingredients in with any given thing that I am making & let it do all the work for me. I could give hundreds of reasons why I am so happy that I have this amazing mixer & all the wonderful recipes that I can make with it. I absolutely recommend this product to anyone who enjoys baking. I was not given any discount for my review. I'm just an amazon fan who likes to let others know what I think about all the things that I purchase to help anyone who may be reading reviews for products they are curious about. If you're thinking about buying one of these stand mixers GO For It!
