It is a life changing appliance and it is a great deal.

they are awesome, but make sure you get a bowl lift and not a stand lift model. I have a Professional 600 and that thing is a beast. The artisan is just kind of “meh”

I needs one of thems badly. Unfortunately (fortunately?) my lawn mower has taken to leaking oil out of every orifice and needs to be replaced before I can get a mixer

Thinking of going electric

Then buy a pasta roller attachment and an ice cream frozen bowl thing and never leave your house again.

Nah, the Artisan is plenty for most purposes. I can make enough dough for four pizzas, 45 pancakes or 5lbs of meatballs in it no problem. Is the bowl lift better? Probably. Are you being intentionally obtuse? Probably.

I’d go electric if I had a smaller yard and/or more outdoor plugs.

You need the meat grinder/sausage stuffer for maximum shutinness.

Sorry, I’ll dial it back a bit. It’s been a stressful day at work.

Actually I am not being obtuse for the sake of it. I have plenty of experience with the Artisan and have seen them fry trying to make anything more than enough pizza dough to make 2 pies, which is why I got the big boy (I make 3 pies at a time usually). I have a stand lift also, but you will never kill this thing - EVER. The 600 is noisy as hell so that is why I keep both

That’s the sexiest mixer I’ve ever seen.

Yeah man, come on, we’re all friends here.

505Turbeaux > CalzoneGolem 05/12/2015 at 13:57

I think the reason why I love it so, is that the bearing in the base plate might be THE finest bearing I have ever witnessed. Spin it and it will still be moving hours after you walk away. Also much quieter than a Kitchenaid of any persuasion

Sorry man sometimes I just get passionate about a subject and get carried away.

This is one of those times where you can say that they don’t make them like they used to and it is true and sad.

Also, I’m sorry I called you obtuse. It really upset Montegoman and it was not appropriate.

Also, why didn’t you tell us before Mother’s Day?!

yeah, it really is the truth. I got by on that being my only mixer for ages and it just keeps taking a beating. Actually check this out - I still have the juicer attachment as well for it (though the large bowl was shattered by my ex :( and the white glass replacement is just a bitch to find )

I threw one on our wedding registry going on 8 years ago and it still runs like a champ.

nah, I get just as passionate and probably sounded dickish. All good. I just have alot of experience with different mixers and kitchen stuffs so I do actually know my shiz when it comes to them

My mom has one of those and then I found one at an estate sale, that mixer won’t die. The bearing on the bowl plate feels like it was made by Rolex.

nice! Good to know they were all like that. Great little machines. Do you have any of the attachments also? I just took a shot of my juicer and replied back with it to CG

Less than impressed with the Artisan mixer, the connecting pin keeps getting loose and I’ve had to take the back plate off to get the multi speed part working again. That being said it is pretty nice and better than a plug in drill with a paddle.

No attachments, just the beaters. She has all the white bowls since it was a hammy-down from her aunt. I’m thinking yours is 1940’s and ours are 1950’s.

We have a stand-lift KitchenAid that we got for free when my aunt upgraded to the 8qt monster. It’s survived at least 5 Thanksgivings with only a minor rebuild during the offseason.

AGREED. Anyone have any of the attachments? I want to make my own pasta and sausauges.

I inherited mine - used weekly by my grandfather. Even came with the owners manual, dated 1982. Still works perfectly.

that is the first hamilton beach item that I have seen that doesn’t look like it was made in a chinese plastics factory. Mighty impressive.

Also you can see I like to kick it pretty old school in the kitchen. 70’s sub zero, ‘49 Chambers model 90C

My Mom has had one for...I think damn near as long as I’ve been alive. That thing is a tank.

Those bowls are a bitch to replace. Whoever thought heavy glass bowls were a good idea for mixers is an idiot.

I didn’t think you were being dickish at all I was just giving you crap because that’s what I do. I’m continuing this charade to give MotegoMan a hard time also.

They weren’t on sale for mother’s day. Buy one and pack it away for next time haha.

If you get in contact with kitchenaid they will possibly replace it.

I’ve got the ice cream maker. I’m less than impressed with it. Want the pasta maker hard.

They don’t make them quite like they used to but still a quality product.

My mom had one last her for at least 20 years. The motor starting shaking more than it used to a couple of years ago, so we got her one of the massive 6 quart ones for christmas. It weighs a ton but I don’t think it will ever die.

These things are not only tough as a P-47 made of unobtainium, they can be rebuilt in the rare case where something wears out. If I hd to pick only one kitchen appliance, it would be this one.

I love mine. Runs like a champ, even after all the action it saw flying over Rangoon.

I would soup it up with a solar panel and a AC system and chilled cup holder and mow like 1/4 of the lawn before the battery fails.
