Hello and welcome to the KitchenAid Artisan Series 5 Quart Tilt Head Mixer review.  When you begin your search for the stand mixer that is going to serve your needs, there are a few things to consider.  Budget, capacity, usage, attachments, and the design and esthetics, especially if you plan to display it on your kitchen counter.

​

Once you’ve determined your budget it’s time to dig into all of the rest.  What is the capacity you will need to get from your mixer?  Are you looking to work with small batches of dough or plan on going big?  Do you want attachments for your mixer so you can make your own pasta, or shred, juice, and slice your fruits and vegetables? The KitchenAid Artisan mixer can actually do a whole lot more than simply mixing dough. 

​

Is the mixer is going to be come a permanent fixture on your kitchen counter? What design are you drawn to?  Do you have a color preference?

​

These are all questions to ask yourself as you begin your quest for the stand mixer that is best for you.
