KitchenAidArtisan Series 5 Quart Tilt Head Stand Mixer, KSM150PS, Porcelain

I bought the KitchenAid Artisan Series Stand Mixer as a birthday gift for my daughter, and she is absolutely in love with it! The quality is everything you’d expect from KitchenAid — solid, powerful, and reliable.The color is gorgeous and really pops on the kitchen counter. It’s not just a mixer — it’s a statement piece. She’s been baking nonstop since she opened it, and it handles everything from cookie dough to bread like a dream with a large mixing ability.This was such a worthwhile purchase. If you're looking for something that’s both functional and beautiful, this mixer is it!

I bought the 5qt red KitchenAid tilt head mixer in Oct 2011 and it is still going strong in 2025! It gets a real work out from Dec thru Jan every year when I make my Italian Pizzelles. I make over 700 Pizzelle cookies every year for gifts for friends and family Christmas.You use an electric Pizzelle maker that makes only 2 at a time. The batter I use fills the 5qt glass mixing bowl. One batch of batter makes 12 dozen pizzelles - 144 cookies x 5 batches = 720 pizzelles!!! It's a labor of love.❤️When I bought mine it was advertized as a limited addition special "Candy Apple Red" with a clear glass measuring mixing bowl. Candy Apple Red always has been my favorite car color so I couldn't resist! It doesnt match my kitchen colors but I don't care as it is a beautiful red color.My mother had one with a metal bowl so it took me a while to get used to the glass as I was afraid I might break it, but it is very sturdy. I like having a handle and plan to buy a metal mixing bowl with a handle and a lid so I can make 2 batches of batter as I have family helpers at Christmas.Oh by the way my mothers KitchenAid mixer has out lived my dear mother. I used it until I bought the red one and passed my mother's on to my daughter. I believe hers is an Almond color.Anyway I know these are expensive but they are worth every penny. If you can wait for a sale even better. I haven't tried making pasta, icecream or sausage with it as I don't own any of the special attatchments but may try the pasta maker in the future.

This is the most heavily used tool in my kitchen besides my tea kettle, I have had mine for over 6 years now and it is still going strong today. It is unbelievably versatile and very heavy duty. Due to it's weight, I thought it was best to find a permanent home for it on my kitchen counter as opposed to putting it away each time; the bonus is that it looks very attractive on the counter due to its iconic look. My friends are always jealous when they see this, most of them end up buying one for themselves!Besides being very useful for making baked goods like cakes, muffins, and breads (and don't forget icing!), this is fantastic for blending meat! That's right, if you use the flat paddle to blend canned chicken breasts or tuna, you will get the most delicate chicken or tuna salad sandwiches out of it. I also use it to blend ground turkey or ground beef for the smoothest, most consistent meatloaf texture ever. Same thing for hamburger patties- I like to make mine out of ground beef and sausage meat, if you mix it with the flat paddle first you will get a perfect patty that is consistent throughout, and you will get a perfect shape if you use a mold. The best part is, your fingers don't have to get cold from mixing ground meat together. Speaking of ground meat, did you know they make a sausage making extension? You can make your own sausage at home if you are so inclined.Due to the powerful motor, you can buy all kinds of extensions on this so the KitchenAid's uses are not limited to the mixing bowl. I have the pasta making extension and it really does work. You mix the pasta dough in the mixing bowl (or by hand), and you run it through the extruder extension. It comes in several sizes and can make several different shapes. However, ever since I bought the Phillips Pasta Maker, I can't go back to the KitchenAid to make pasta anymore. I love my pasta maker and I have to say the KitchenAid loses out on this. That being said, not everyone has to room nor wants to buy a separate pasta maker- this is a very good replacement tool for making pasta. I have tried the hand crank pasta maker as well, you will never want to go back after using the extruder extension!Some other uses that you might not think- this makes excellent honey butter. I make biscuits using my KitchenAid and the honey butter goes so well with those biscuits! I use 1 cup of honey and 1 cup of butter and it really does make awesome honey butter. You can try and make all kinds of butters (e.g. apple butter using applesauce and butter) with this, and you can even make your own butter if you work cream long enough on this! I do not think it is capable of making nut butters, however...you will need a high powered blender like a blendtec or a decent food processor for that.Make sure you clean it well after every use. The bowl and the mixing tool can be washed in the dishwasher.. I have washed those in the dishwasher for over 6 years, and no rust! I wipe down the machine itself with a wet paper towel if flour or icing sugar gets on it, and it will. Sometimes milk or butter or meat will get on the machine itself during the mixing process, and I use a wet paper towel with dish soup to wipe it down, followed by a plain wet paper towel. Again, I have been doing this for a while and my machine is still as red and vibrant as the day it came out of the box.

The media could not be loaded. This was a 40th bday present 🎁 and I’m in love with it! I’m a hobby baker and I love to bake sourdough bread. This is a great addition to my kitchen and I’m so blessed to have finally gotten one! It makes baking faster and clean up easier! It’s sturdy and durable; great for making bread dough. I can make large batches of cookies and muffins with the standard bowl. I love the different speeds; makes it easy for stirring or pouring in ingredients.The bowl has a handle on it which makes it easy for me to remove/replace and also carry around, as needed.The look. I love the color of this mixer! 😍 It’s an off-white, cream color, similar to my coffee in the morning! It’s also the right size and fit for my cabinets. I have a small kitchen and it’s important for me to have the right size for my kitchen for use and for storage.Quality. Sturdy and heavy. I’m looking forward to baking with this for years to come and passing it on to my kids. I highly recommend this stand mixer to any level baker.
