Fabulous Model with Increased Power
I chose this model, in the black onyx, after researching the others in the line of Kitchen-Aid because of its stronger motor than the Artisan and lower cost than the higher end model. And for the few dollars more than the Artisan, it made sense to go up in scale for more power. I like the lift also versus the tilt. A friend has the tilt and you can't see in the bowl unless you turn it off. It's a must-have for every serious baker and cook. If you think you're doing fine with a handheld mixer, there is no comparison. Your baking will improve 100% with the right tools -- this is one to be reckoned with. Efficienct, allowing for multi-tasking, so you can walk away. Dependable, durable, sturdy, easily wipes clean. Excellent creaming, beating, whipping. Fantastic volume for angel food cakes, meringues, glossy, smooth frostings. You will go to places you never thought you would attempt, e.g., bread making - the dough hook kneads well. Build your inventory with a choice of many add-on attachments - I have the wonderful pasta maker. This is a wonderful investment.

Great Gift
I was undecided on the artesian and the pro and I think I made the best decision. The wife just made breead last night with the pro and no problems!! Also fits very snuggly under the cupboards on the counter. Great Job KitchenAid

Didn't know what I was missing
We received this as gift, but for a while I continued to use my old hand-held mixer. Finally, when making lots of batches of almond cookies, I decided to take this out and try it. Now I kick myself for not trying it right away. It mixes large amounts of dough effortlessly. And everything blends together, unlike when I used my hand-held mixer.

Millennium Mixer
I received this beautiful piece of technology from my wonderful children for Christmas. The attachments make blending, whisking and kneading effortless and efficient. I was somewhat surprised with the power generated by a 450-watt motor! With the 5 quart capacity bowl, there's no worry about splatter or spills. I can't wait to start ordering attachments that range from pasta rollers to sausage stuffers! The rainbow of colors to choose from is always a plus. Mine is a striking, cobalt blue -- a very majestic addition to the kitchen counter.

Irreplaceable kitchen helper
I recieved my kitchenaid as a gift from my then fiance. At first I was a little intimidated by it because I was taught to do most things the old-fashioned way by hand. When I first tried making pasta dough with it. I couldn't believe how fast and easy it was! When I was completely convinced it was the way to go, I started buying the attatchment. I now own the pasta rollers and cutters, the grinder, (which I use to grind my meat and cheese for raviolis). I even have the sausage maker to make our own venison sausage. I love it. It saves time and makes every project "do-able". pmss

My First KitchenAid
My mom bought this for me for my birthday. I'd never used one before, so I was nervous. She told me to start with something easy, like boxed brownies, or icing. I started with an icing and was squeeling with baker's-glee when I saw how smooth it turned out. It was gorgeous and the texture was as smooth as silk. The true test came when my 15 year old son with special needs said he wanted to make brownies. He can barely boil water, let alone bake brownies, but I let him give it a whirl with the KitchenAid, and Voila!....easy as pie. He now makes us brownies all the time with the KitchenAid and this boosts his confidence. Buy this for yourself or a very special relative. Husbands, if you're reading this, you can't go wrong with this purchase.

I love this machine
I recieved this as an early wedding / christmas present. My In laws had some issues with the empire red, which is the color i had asked for!!! Anyhow, I absolutely love this machine!!! I cannot imagine making cookies or mashed potatoes or anything without it. It will get used a lot more when we move back to the states, as right now its not used as much as I would like, but thats just because of the power difference. :-) If you are looking for that perfect mixer I would totally buy this one again!!! Even thinking about ordering one for a couple for their wedding present!!! Plus I love all the accessories that go with it!!!

Professional 5Qt.
Unsurpassed power even on the stickiest bread doughs. This mixer didn't even get warm after nearly 10 hours of use making tamales! The attachments replace the need for many additional appliances-but they are pricey. Make sure you explore the additional warranty options available from KitchenAid-they are very affordable. By the way-my Mom has been using HER KitchenAid mixer for over 40 years now, and she wouldn't replace it for anything. I was hoping to get hers-but she told me to buy my own!
