I'm going to assume there are people reading who are going through the same debates I had.
First and foremost, do I even need a stand mixer? Well... No. But it is SO much easier!! I find I bake more because it's already out on my countertop. With a hand held mixer, I have to get it out, find the attachments, get a bowl... Ya know, typical lazy people problems, but really did detour me from making things if my time was limited. Now I just pour my ingredients and go. I also love that I can turn it on and do something else. So it shaves some minutes from baking and cooking.
Second: Will it take a lot of space?
That just depends on how much space you have in general. I live in a one-bedroom apartment. I don't have the most space in the world, but I have the mixer out with my other kitchen tools and sitting at an angle, if that makes sense. So it doesn't take up much room at all.
Third: Which line of KithchenAid Mixer should I get?
I debated for a very long time on this. I must note that I was debating with Black Friday quickly approaching. I scoured every website, every store, and newspaper circular looking for the best deal and what would suit me. I was put off by the classic line because it didn't come with a handle on the bowl and the lack of colors. I know the latter seems silly, but I like for my kitchen to be aesthetically pleasing.
I could get the Professional line cheap at Sam's in the right color. However, I don't like how the bowl mounts and dismounts because it may spill batter and... It's a little overkill for me. That thing is huge. I had actually decided that the Artisan line was best for me. BUT... the classic was such a good deal on Amazon for Black Friday, I couldn't resist. The savings made it worth it and allowed me to purchase a 4.5 quart bowl with a handle and still come out about $70 less than the Artisan line. As for the color, I found that there's a whole movement of people who decorate their mixers (some bloggers are very opposed to this). I got a cute decal in mint green fairly cheap. I actually like the decal much better than the aqua color I was so dead set on getting.
It works wonderfully. It doesn't take up nearly as much room as I thought it was going to. It looks great in my kitchen. It has saved me a lot of hassle - especially since I have two bowls now. I'm so in love with it, I'm thinking about getting more attachments. This was the best purchase I have made for my kitchen in a long time.

I was skeptical but not anymore! Wish I had made this purchase sooner!
I always thought I didn't have a use for one of these. Thought it would just clutter up what tiny bit of counter space I have in my kitchen. But oh how I love this thing, and this isn't even the mack-daddy version. It fits perfectly under my cabinets. Arrived perfectly without a scratch or single imperfection. I don't have to search through the cabinets for the hand-mixer, or the attachments or put it away when I'm done. It sits nicely on the counter, visually appealing, and thankfully I don't have to move it much because it is heavy! If I had any complaint at all, it would be for every kitchen aid model bowl to come with a handle and possibly a spout but that really isn't a big deal. The bowl is lightweight and simply locks/unlocks in/out of the mixer's base with a little twist. I can throw the ingredients in the bowl, turn it on low, and finish something else. Just makes life a bit easier in the kitchen :) I love my mixer!
