Strengths: See below

Weaknesses: Can't think of any.

Summary: The Artisan Series 5 Quart Mixer is an appliance that should be in every kitchen. I personally don't know how I got along without it! For years I was using a small hand held mixer which was a struggle when making a single batch of cookies. With this mixer I can double the batch and it mixes the ingredients with ease. The best part is that I can turn it on and walk away! I'm able get more done in less time due to the fact that I don't have to stand there holding the mixer while it stirs the ingredients. This mixer is well worth the investment.

Strengths: Very solid mixer, very versatile with attachments.

Weaknesses: The attachments are expensive, and most are sold separately.

Summary: Just bought about one week, so far so good. Easy to make doughs. Wish I could have bought more attachments for the mixer. Oh, at a time, it\\\'s hard to the bowl off after using it for a while.

Strengths: Looks great, high power, easy to use and clean

Weaknesses: A bit expensive and a tad heavy

Summary: I got this mixer for Christmas and have made 3 batches of cookies, bread, and mashed potatoes! The motor is powerful enough for everyday use in my kitchen. I really like how the speeds function - the lowest speed is definitely low and the high speed is very high. I also like the tilt head; I looked at the up/down head but the tilt seems so much easier. If you want to make 2 batches of anything (expect cookies) I would suggest getting the bigger bowl - this one is not quite big enough for me to make 2 cheesecakes at one time. A super investment and a great multi-tasker.

Strengths: The mixer is so easy to use; no more holding a mixer by hand! It was so fast at whipping egg whites; in less than 2 minutes the peaks were stiff and ready. It takes much longer with a hand mixer.

Weaknesses: a little bit expensive

Summary: I received my Kitchenaid Mixer as a Christmas gift from my husband. I had wanted one for years. I used the mixer for the first time Christmas Eve and was thrilled with it! I love this mixer and would highly recommend the KitchenAid Mixer for anyone wishing to purchase one.

Strengths: High quality, dependability, powerful motor

Weaknesses: None that I can tell so far

Summary: Not much needs to be said about a KitchenAid mixer, regardless of what line it is (Classic, Artisan, Professional, etc.)! The build quality and durability are extremely high, as with all KitchenAid appliances, and the color is awesome!
