Combined with free shipping, this was a great transaction. My Kitchenaid mixer is exactly as I expected and at a great price.
Planning to order the basic attachment kit. Will cut your baking prep time in 1/2 a MUST HAVE for a working mom that still likes to spend some time in the kitchen. Skip the research, Amazon.com is the best place to buy. Awesome product. Every feature works as advertised.
However, for function I give it 5 stars. I bought an ice cream attachment separately so my husband is now making delicious sherbert from our farm berries. I bought a Green Apple Artisan mixer 3 years ago and have LOVED everything about it, so I recently bought a Blue Willow Artisan for my niece's wedding present. Creaming butter and sugar for cakes is a breeze and the splatter shield is great. And, looks great on the counter when color coordinated with kitchen decor. Purchased at a great price reduction during a rebate period before Christmas. The only reason I give this one 4 stars is because the painted finish has a couple of tiny pits and a tiny nub on the base and the blue color is a bit dull, (if I had it to do over I'd get this blue loving niece the "Martha Stewart Blue") - and the stainless steel band around the top was a bit loose.
said I should be sent a new machine instead. All is well now. This is a top rated mixer for a reason - it's very sturdy, works extremely well, and has a number of useful attachments. The mixer I ordered from Amazon.com was a bargain. I declined because I didn't know what the problem was originally, and didn't want a repeat of the failure to use the attachments with the next machine. At first, they wanted me to send them the machine to them for repair, promising a return in six to eight weeks. Lucky for me, this rep.
They were willing to exchange the mixer for a new one. I do not fault Amazon.
It took a number of calls to KitchenAid to remedy the problem. This one accepted the attachments I purchased separately KitchenAid KSM150PSWH Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, White.
Some are very pricey. It arrived several days later.
The mixer kneads bread dough beautifully, and slices and dices in record time. However, the opening for attachments was too small to accommodate them.
When the packing material (to ship the item post-paid) failed to arrive, I called again, and was switched to the wrong dept.
when i applied for the rebate, it was not avaible. even though this may not have been intentional, the results were the same. the product is fine. this will cause me to consider a long time before i buy again from Amazon. bill i bought the product for the quality and usefulness of it, also because of the reduced price with the rebate. i find i was not the only one to do this from other reviews.
