Manufacturer's Description
KitchenAid has progressed considerably since it launched the first domestic stand mixer, a classic iconic shape of the early 20th century, designed by one of the great American style gurus, Egmont Arens, back in 1937. There is now a complete KitchenAid® Artisan™ Collection that looks equally stylish and is made with the same attention to detail as it always was. The Collection is available in the widest range of colours on the market and includes a host of beautiful, functional appliances including a blender, toaster, espresso maker, burr grinder and food processor, as well as the original mixer. All of the products have the same tactile, 'retro' look, with solid knobs, buttons and smooth curved lines. Every item in the KitchenAid Collection is still assembled by hand from reassuringly solid die-cast metal parts, receiving the individual attention to detail vital to ensuring top performance and quality.

KitchenAid® stands for beautiful design, reliability, efficiency and effectiveness - built to look and feel good, but also built for function and hard work.

The KitchenAid Artisan KSM150 mixer has a 5 quart bowl with ergonomic hand pouring shield and tilt back mixer head design that provides easy access to the bowl. A smooth rounded designallows for easy cleaning and usage. The direct drive motor makes it silent, reliable and long lasting, whilst the single attachment hub is engineered for ease of use and versatility. The full metal construction makes this machine robust, stable and durable, whilst the original planetary action provides fast and thorough mixing. The mixing bowl has an ergonomic handle for better grip and easy handling, and the large capacity bowl is perfect for preparing small to large quantities of food. All these features add up to a fabulous mixer that makes light work of cake batters, sponges and meringues thanks to a direct motor, whisk beater and dough hook.

Customer Reviews

looks nice but...
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!

Expensive but worth it
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!!

best thing in my kitchen!
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.
