We are all aware of the fact that the kitchen is the heart of any home and it should have everything flawlessly handy and useful. In the ocean of diverse kitchen appliances, the KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Stand Mixer holds a special, irreplaceable place.
As an enthusiastic home chef, I’ve always looked for appliances that make my cooking easier and more enjoyable. Unquestionably, the KitchenAid Stand Mixer has been one such appliance. It’s essentially 10 appliances in one, with the ability to do everything from mix to knead to whip – all at the touch of the button.
First things first, the design of the KitchenAid mixer is absolutely timeless. With its crafted die-cast metal construction, it’s built to last and its sleek, curvaceous body increases its aesthetic appeal many folds. One thing’s for sure – this appliance will never go out of style.
Moreover, it comes in over 10 different classy colors, enabling you to choose one that matches your kitchen décor. The 5-quart stainless-steel bowl is big enough to handle large batches of batter and dough. Extracting the bowl from the mixer is hassle-free, a feature that surprisingly few mixers offer.
Performance-wise, this KitchenAid Mixer outshines many of its competitors. The ten-speed settings range from a very slow stir to a fast whip, handling every recipe with ease. From making pastry dough, cake batter, cookie dough, or mashed potatoes, this mixer does the job evenly, quickly, and effortlessly.
Convenience is another strong suit of this product. A power hub for attachments on the front of the mixer makes it function as multiple appliances in one, such as a pasta maker, food grinder, or an ice cream maker, to name a few. However, these attachments are sold separately.
On the flip side, this mixer is not the quietest on the market. However, the sound is not loud to the point of being annoying – I would just refrain from using it early morning while everyone else is still asleep.
Also, as it is made from heavy-duty metal, this mixer weighs around 26 pounds, which might not be convenient for everyone. Thus, having a permanent space on your countertop for this mixer would be the best option.
Overall, the KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Stand Mixer rocks the stands with its classic design, versatility, and unbeatable performance. Priced at around $430, it may not be the cheapest option on the market. However, considering the durability and the variety of tasks it can perform, I see it as a worthwhile investment for any kitchen.
Despite minor flaws, I am giving it 4 out of 5 stars. I heartily recommend the KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Stand Mixer for anyone looking to add a high-performance, multitasking appliance to their arsenal of kitchen tools.
