Mixer has sufficient power for all tasks especially mixing dough. The attachments provide versitility and eliminate the need to purchase other apliances.
I can't believe how wonderful this mixer is. I got the self scraping flat beater and it is perfect! Used this for preparing our Thanksgiving feast and can't wait to make Christmas cookies and treats! How did I survive without it?
Believe it or not I am known for baking but have used only a hand mixer for approximately the last 20 years! My generous staff gave me this as a holiday gift ( too bad it was given AFTER I baked cookies for 30 people!!) and I could not be more thrilled! Love it!!
I just "replaced" my 12 years old model (I gave it to my daughter who started university) with the artisan model and purchased the 3 accessory pack. I am using it more now with a shrunk family than before. I wonder how how managed before the slicer and shredder! The cylindrical inserts are a bit awkward to remove, but overall worth the extra effort. The motor is quite powerful and even when mixing heavy bread dough does not overheat. Great product, I am looking forward to using the vegetable strainer during tomato canning season.
Pros: Convenient Features, Performance, very stable on kitchen counter
