KitchenAid KSM150PSOB Artisan Series Stand Mixer

Well built and versatile

Strengths: Heavy duty and very good construction

Weakness: Quite heavy and a little awkward to move around (although this is where the heavy duty and very good construction comes into play). Quite large (but this can be a strength too!)

This is a very well built appliance. The attachments it comes with are metal (even though in pictures on the web they look like plastic). I can't think of anything that will cause this unit to fail in the future. The handle on the mixing bowl is very useful. The bowl also locks into place. Another nice feature is the ability to add other attachments to the front of the unit. I haven't looked at...

Amazing quality!

Strengths: Extremely powerful with a 325 watt and ten speed setting

Weakness: Very bulky if you dont have enough storage for it

I received this item last week and so far have been happy with it. It came with a recipe book and a catalog of the numerous attachments it can be combined with. So far I made mashed potatoes (the creamiest I have ever had) and a souffle, which was greatly needed to beat the eggs. You literally drop in what you want to mix and walk away. It saves you plenty of time compared to using a hand held...

KitchenAid 5-qt Black 325 Watt Stand Mixer

Strengths: powerful, easy to use, easy clean up

Weakness: none at this time

With its 325 watts of power, the mixer could do all kinds of mixing jobs easily and quickly. It is simple to lock in the mixing bowl and it is also easy to clean up. The included attachments are easy to use and very useful.

Well made, powerful mixer.

Strengths: Sturdy, stylish, practical, does it all.

Weakness: not at this time

Not only is this mixer stylish and strong, but it also comes with various accessories so that you can do it all in the kitchen. Runs at various speeds which is also a big plus. This mixer is well made with metal parts and comes with a one year replacement warranty. I like the splash/spill guard and the ample mixing bowl. This mixer is like the ones the professionals use! Highly recommend this...

Cool kitchen appliance!

Strengths: Strong, versatile, cool attachments

Weakness: n/a

This item comes with 10 speeds, so you can do everything from stirring, to whipping, to beating. This is a high quality, well made appliance with sturdy metal parts. This item has a strong 325 watt motor and ample 5 quart capacity. I love the sleek, onyx black color; this item looks great in a modern or old-fashioned kitchen.

KitchenAid KSM150PSOB Artisan Series Stand Mixer

Strengths: It runs smoothly and does the work I need it to do. I have made merangue, oatmeal cookies, and mashed potatoes so far Worked perfectly.

Weakness: I wish it had a rack for storing the accessories.

I've wanted one of these mixers for a long time. I'm so glad I finally got one. I think Christmas dinner will be much easier to prepare this year. (I love the shiny black color!)

Kitchenaid = Quality

Strengths: Motor is powerful enough for everyday home use, Comes in a variety of colors

Weakness: Heavy (but I guess this can be a pro too since it won't crawl on the counter)

I've been using my mom's KA mixer ever since she bought one. I've been eyeing this exact mixer for almost 2 years, hoping I would catch it on a great sale. Well, the day came and with my student budget, I bought my very own KA. I've heard of some people having problems with oil leaking from the motor, but I haven't experienced that problem at all with my mom's Artisan mixer. And trust me, the...

KitchenAid KSM150PSOB Artisan Series Stand Mixer

Strengths: Made in USA, Well known brand, Quiet operation

Weakness: Difficult to move around

I am happy with this blender. It is almost impossible to find any plastic parts on it ; it is made of almost entirely metal and is very heavy. It operates smoothly and quietly and does a good job of mixing of everything that I've used it for.

My Artisan

Strengths: speed, ability to mix several ingredients with no problem, style

Weakness: none

I absolutely love my new mixer. I was able to make my famous oatmeal cookies with no problem. This recipe includes 5 cups of oatmeal and 4 cups of flour, along with other ingredients, but this mixer mixed them right up with no problem. Don't have a bad thing to say about it.

Mixing the easy way !!

Strengths: Easy to use, powerful, stylish, choice of colors.

Weakness: Price of accessories.

I recieved my new model Artisan and it is a work of art. It looks great on my counter-top. As a mixer, nothing compares to Kitchen Aid. I have used it for mashed potatoes, cakes and pizza dough so far and it is awesome. The bowl locks in place, although don't tighten it too much-it really locks!! It is powerful and quiet. You may have to scrape the bottom of the mixing bowl with a rubber spatula...
