KitchenAid MIXER TILT-HEAD 4.8L - ARTISAN - ONYX BLACK 5KSM125BOB

For some reason the Pistachio model was £20 cheaper than the other colours. I thought long and hard about spending the extra on the KitchenAid and would I get the use out of it that justifies the expense. One of the reasons I eventually chose it was for longevity. It's one of the reasons I bought a commercial Dualit toaster. The parts are still available so that you can keep these things running for years. I've bought no name brands before and when it breaks or wears out then it's put in the bin as there is usually little in the way of support or spare parts. The build quality is superb with metal construction and everything feels well put together. Yes, it is a little sparse on accessories in the box but I would rather have the essentials than a cupboard full of bits that I'll never use. It's also not that big, or not as big as expected, so easily fits in a kitchen cupboard. I've read reviews that say it's a little noisy on fast speeds. I don't find it particularly obtrusive and no noisier on full speed than a blender or food processor. Will be putting through its paces later on today so will update the review as I progress with using the mixer. Was also pleased to see that there are lots of 3D printable storage options, splash guards and other bits and pieces for the mixer.

KitchenAid have done it again. I bought this to replace my Kenwood A901 and I would absolutely do it again, 10 times over. A stunning bit of kit for any keen baker or chef looking to save time (I've saved hours on stretch and folds with this thing) or keep their hands clean. The Artisan is the perfect size for smaller counter tops, unintrusive and absolutely will not be moving- this thing is HEAVY in all the right ways. The mixer itself wipes down in seconds and the attachments clean quickly with a quick scrub in warm water. Everything I've baked, cooked or whipped up has been near perfect every time. Though pricey, the Artisan genuinely feels like it will last forever and if you are able, I 100% recommend purchasing this.

Kitchenaid has a reputation for a reason. They're not cheap but what you get for the money is an outstanding product that will last a lifetime. I would genuinely argue that a Kitchenaid is a necessity for anyone who enjoys cooking or baking and would recommend it to everyone. The first thing I noticed when opening the box of the Kitchenaid was just how heavy everything is. Weight is usually an indicator of quality and I think it's to be expected that the Kitchenaid mixer itself would be pretty heavy. The motor is capable of spinning at a very high speed and if the mixer was lightweight it would risk toppling over when spinning so fast. As the mixer is a heavy unit, this isn't a problem even at the highest setting. Not only is the mixer heavy but everything that comes with it is also fairly weighty for the size. The three attachments (dough hook, wire whisk and flat beater) are all solid metal with the dough hook and flat beater having an enamelled finish. I can't think of any reasonable usage that would result in any of these attachments wearing out or snapping. The metalic mixing bowl comes attached, it twists into the mixer and is very sturdy. Again fairly heavy and solid metal. In terms of performance I have used it for a number of bakes and have found all three included attachments make light work of their designated task, whether it be kneading dough or whisking egg whites into a meringue. I know this is the most important aspect but there isn't really much more to add here, it's top class and that's all there really is to say. I really like the matte black finish, it looks stylish and is a very versatile colour which I think will suit all different types of kitchen. It cleans nicely and fingerprints are easy to wipe away which is generally the biggest concern with matte colours. For the price I think it would be a shame to have this packed away in the box or a cupboard until use, let it take pride of place on the kitchen worktop. The Kitchenaid also has the unique feature of being able to plug in various different attachments into the front of the mixer which then utilises the Kitchenaid's motor to work. For example, you can get a pasta roller, meat grinder, vegetable spiraliser and many more. There should be a leaflet in the box which shows all the available attachments, if not search online. They don't come cheap but are high quality with the added benefit of taking up less storage space than their standalone equivalent. If you're a keen home cook I'm sure you'll benefit from this greatly. If you found my review helpful please let me know by hitting the button below. Cheers

I love my kitchen aid, would not go back to any other, it is sturdy and brilliant. Does everything I want brilliantly, got the pasta attacment, if you do pasta this is a godsend, saves so much Rolling time. My favourite part is that the whisk and paddles reach the bottom of the bowl perfectly so no dry ingredientes left on the bottom. I highly recommend getting one of these.

Couldn’t live without it now. Quality product well worth the money, So easy to use.

Love it. Best kitchen appliance I’ve ever bought. Love all the attachments for it and its versatility. It is a heavy appliance that you will use everyday. Also looks sexy in a kitchen and the colour choice is amazing. Well made and practical. I understand it’s pricey but believe me the cost out ways the practicality. I waited a long while to get one. I should have done it sooner.

It does the job well.

perfect dough machine. you can do whatever u want to. too much accessory options.

This mixer was bought all in good faith for my daughter who lives 10,000 miles away from me. I ordered it from Amazon au and it arrived all in good time but it has a UK plug on it? Absolutely amazed when I bought it from amazons Australian website you’d have thought it was set up for Australian use. You might think what’s all the fuss about when all is needed is an adapter plug BUT lo and behold it says do not use with an adapter!!! I would like a suggestion please as to what to do. This is an expensive mixer so I am very disappointed and unhappy. Nowhere does it say in the details that this is for Uk market. So please watch out if you are buying for Australia from Amazon au.

The Product came to me with very good Packaging and working
