I have wanted one of these for years, but didnt think I could justify the expense when i already had a hand held mixer and a bread maker. Well I totally love it and it makes baking a breeze. It looks fantastic in my kitchen and is in daily use and is so easy to use. I was a little worried that it would be a nightmare to clean and keep shiny but all it needs is a wipe with a damp cloth, no polishing required. Would recommend to anyone who loves to cook.

Lovely to look at, generally great to use. Small problem with pivot pin working loose and be careful how much bread dough you put in as it works its way up and get sruck around the top

I have recently purchased the brushed nickel version of the KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer. I have only used it a few times but so far so good. I couldn't decide between this mixer and the Kenwood Chef but in the end opted for this one as I already own a KitchenAid blender.
It's a lot more powerful than I was expecting and very quiet too. It's sturdy and looks absolutely fantastic on the worktop!
I would highly recommend this mixer. I've been meaning to buy one for almost 2 years now but the expense did put me off. However, the majority of people that have purchased one through Amazon have given it excellent reveiws so I finally decided to go for it....and I have no regrets at all!!

I received this for my Christmas in 2007. I had wanted one for a long time! After a couple of weeks the pin holding the motor head to the base fell out while I was using it, damaging the bowl and beater. I was sent a replacement from Amazon. A few months later while using the mixer to knead dough I noticed the mixer head was unlocking and being pushed up by the dough. I phoned KitchenAid and they asked me to package it up and send it to them to be repaired. I got it back repaired a couple of weeks later. This same thing has happened again and it is due to be delivered back today. I have only used the machine about 7 or 8 times for kneading dough and have always been very careful to follow instructions on amounts et.c. I am amazed that something that looks and feels so sturdy (it weighs a ton) is so obviously not. I don't find that it performs particularly well in whipping egg whites or making cakes (there is always a layer next to the bowl that is unmixed and yes I have tried adjusting the beater to bowl clearance). I now if I want a good result get my handheld kenwood out (£15). I do however find the KitchenAid fine for whipping cream and mashing potato. I think these mixers look fantastic but really aren't very good.
If you do get one keep the packaging so can easily send it for repair!

I have always wanted one of these since my old 1960's Kenwood Chef broke which I had inherited from my Nan. The new Kenwood seemed very poorly made and I was introduced to the Kitchenaid machine by a lady in our local kitchen shop and it was love at first sight!! It has taken me a while to save but I now have one and I am totally thrilled!
The first thing you notice is the stunning retro looks and the shiny casing. The hardest decision to make is which colour to buy, thats a very personal thing as these mixers will probably last a lifetime. When you pick the Kitchenaid up you will be surprised at the sheer weight of the appliance, and the quality of the workmanship. Even the tools and bowl are as solid as can be.
The smooth speed switch is so simple to use and as the direct drive motor is at the top of the machine, it only uses part of the power needed by other machines which have their motor low down on the stand.
The only down side is that you are unable to use this up against a wall as you have the speed selector on one side and the release tilting catch on the other side, but this isnt an issue for me even though my kitchen is very small.
I agree with some other comments about the price of these machines in the UK being very high compared to America, where they are about a third of the price. Even so I am very pleased with mine and recommend this machine over the current Kenwood Chef anyday.
