Visit WebsiteThe KitchenAid Artisan is a powerful stand food mixer with a respectable 325 watts of mixing power in its motor. It comes with three attachments, and its tilt-back head mechanism makes it easy to change them. You get a a flat beater, a a wire whip and a hook in addition to the standard paddles. The KitchenAid Artisan comes with a a pouring shield to help you guide the ingredients into the bowl. The bowl stands 15 inches high and can lock firmly on to the base. It has a 5 quart capacity, which is enough for large batches, or even double recipes.
An Unusual and Unique Mixing Action
The KitchenAid Artisan has a unique mixing action. The he shaft spins in an anti-clockwise direction, while the beater spin clockwise. This results in the beater touching the bowl at 67 different points in each complete rotation, which means the bowl itself does not need to be rotated. Needless to say, the mixture in the bowl gets thoroughly mixed up and blended in a way that few other mixers can achieve.
A Speed for Every Purpose
The KitchenAid Artisan has 10 different speeds that can be used depending on the situation, or the effect you wish to achieve. When that is combined with the unique mixing action, it gives you a flexibility that you may never has encountered before. The speeds range from the very high speed to a very low speed, and all speeds in between.

However, another customer said, “The mixer itself is really good. Heavy and strong enough not to wobble around the bench top. The motor is powerful enough to make what we need including double batches etc.” One customer even went as far as to say, “The mixer is gorgeous!” I agree, and I can certainly recommend the KitchenAid Artisan.
