Product Overviews

More is more sometimes, at least in the world of small appliances. KitchenAid has introduced a new member of the stand mixer family, known as the Artisan mixer. It has a tilting head, like the KSM90, but it has a larger 5 qt. capacity bowl. It also gives you more oomph, as in 325 watts of cookie dough busting power. What's not to love? If you've been considering a stand mixer, this may be the perfect "starter model" for you.

Product Features

• 325-watt mixer with 10 speeds; 5-quart stainless steel bowl
• Tilt-back head for easy access to mixture
• 2-piece pouring shield with large chute for adding ingredients
• Includes flat beater, dough hook, and wire whip
• Measures 14 by 8-2/3 inches by 14 inches; 1-year warranty

Product Specifications

KitchenAid's Artisan stand mixer is a substantial piece of equipment: 325 watts of mixing power make child's play of creaming butter, kneading dough, and whipping cream. The kid in you will appreciate how quick and easy it is to mix up a batch of cookie dough. This model comes with three attachments: a flat beater for making batter, meat loaf, and all textures in-between; a wire whip for egg whites, mayonnaise, and more air-infused creations; and a hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs. All three are solidly constructed and easily secured to the beater shaft with a simple twist. This model also includes a pouring shield for guiding ingredients to their proper destination, and the bowl itself locks tight to the base. Standing about 15 inches high, jutting out a foot, and weighing more than a grown woman's bowling ball, this stand mixer isn't the sort of appliance you'll wipe down and put away. Better to find a square foot of free counter space for easy access; besides, this machine is as pretty as it is rugged--you'll want to show it off. --Betsy Danheim

From the Manufacturer

The Artisan mixer's strong 325-watt motor delivers the power to handle the heaviest mixtures, and mix large batches easily.

The 5-quart polished stainless steel bowl with ergonomic handle is big enough to handle large batches of heavy mixtures. Its ergonomically designed handle is contoured to fit the hand and makes lifting the bowl more comfortable.

Unique Mixing Action

The beater spins clockwise as the shaft spins counter clockwise; moving the beater to 67 different points around the bowl. This unique mixing action creates a thorough blend of ingredients and eliminates the need to rotate the bowl.

Multiple Speeds

10 speeds allow the user to select the right speed for the mixing job; from very high to very slow stir. It's easy to select the precise speed needed for a perfect mix.

Versatile Accessories

The flat beater, dough hook, and the professional wire whip add to the versatility of the mixer. The flat beater is the ideal accessory for mixing normal to heavy batters. From cake mixes to firm cookie dough, the flat beater mixes quickly and thoroughly.

The dough hook mixes and kneads yeast dough, saving both time and the effort of hand-kneading. The wire whip incorporates the maximum amount of air in whipped mixtures for fluffier whipped cream and angel food cakes.

All attachments are solidly constructed, and attach easily to the stand mixer.

Easy Clean Up

The pouring shield fits around the top of the bowl and prevents ingredient splash-out. The chute makes it convenient and easy to add ingredients.

The tilt-back mixer head allows for easy access to bowl and beaters. A lock lever holds the mixer head securely in place and the bowl fastens tightly to the base.

Optional Attachments

Optional attachments (sold separately) complete the package to make cooking a pleasure. From citrus juicer to sausage stuffer, KitchenAid stand mixers can handle just about any job in the kitchen.

KitchenAid KSM150PSMC Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Metallic Chrome Reviews By Customers

I purchased this mixer a little less than two months ago and it was quickly received. Now I did have to call in for a replacement mixer the day of because the first one stopped working quickly after turning on. Besides that little hiccup I called KitchenAid's tech support line, was quickly put through to a representative, and after 5 minutes had a new one in the works to be sent out. I was a little aggravated at the 7-14 day shipment period because I needed it and that is way I requested next day shipping. However, it was shipped approximately 2 day's later and I quickly put it to use.
My mother received her KitchenAid mixer in 1990 as a wedding gift and she has not had a single problem with her mixer since. That is the reason I went for a KitchenAid, I could remember growing up using that same mixer for everything. The only problem I have with this mixer is the coated beaters!! I will soon be replacing those coated beaters for non-coated ones because they began to chip after a short amount of use. Other than that this is the mixer of my dreams! I have heard that the shredding attachment works very well so I will be getting that shortly as well.

It took me a while to save for this but now that I have my credit cards paid off, I wanted to splurge. I have made some of the ones that come with the appliance, and some of the ones from opra's tv show, and they came out just perfect and delicious. Please if you don't have one of these, you need to get one, you'll be amazed at the quality of your baking with this appliance. I never thought I could make any cookies completely from scratch, now I will never go back to store bought cookies when I can make them my own and know exactly what went in them. No preservatives or additives and just delicious. :) I used to buy store bought cookies and ready to bake packages for cookies and cakes, etc. I started watching oprah last year . She always shows nice productcs and most of the time ask her guest if they have one and how fabulous it is, and if they don't have one that they should really get one. So, I finally decided to take opra's word and went and got the red colored one. I just love it. So far the cookies I have made with it are so easy to make.
