It took me awhile to decide what kind of capacity I wanted in my stand mixer. They are available for all models through Amazon or other vendors and easily replaced by anyone with a little mechanical aptitude. This gear is designed to shear or break apart should the machine bind up and protects the motor from burning up or otherwise become damaged. This gear has been used for years (even during the time period of Hobart manufacturing) in all of the tilt-head KitchenAid stand mixers and is actually a feature – not a cheapening of parts. These machines do have one gear made up of a Kevlar fiber filled nylon material referred to as “Nylatron.”
Some folks complain about “plastic” gears in the Artisan line. It’s 14 5/6 inches deep, 13 15/16 inches tall, and 8 ¾ inches wide so it will take up a decent chunk of space in your storage area. T weighs 26 pounds so you may want to consider not storing it too high or too low. When choosing a place to store your KitchenAid Stand Mixer, if not on the countertop, make sure that the shelf is sturdy. Since this is such a solid piece of equipment, it’s not small.

When well taken care of, your stand mixer should last decades. The metal construction is incredibly durable: like I said, before my upgrade, my stand mixer was twenty-four years old and it’s still running fine. The only piece of plastic you’re going to find on this stand mixer is the pouring shield attachment. However, if you are not a huge bread baker and only mix dough on a rare occasion or in small amounts, then this may be a great entry level machine for you – especially with the number of attachments that you can purchaseto allow this machine to perform other functions (more on this latter). I checked out the stand mixer competition and looked at several KitchenAid models, but this one was high on the list but ultimately my bread baking habit lead me to choose a more powerful model as I don’t have a warm and fuzzy that the motor on this unit is powerful enough to stand the rigors of mix dough once or twice a week. You can see what other small appliances I’ve included in my wedding registry series. Now, I’m looking to upgrade, and in the process of conducting some research in order to put together my wedding registry, I’ve taken a hard look at that the KitchenAid Artisan Series 5 Quart Mixer.

In fact, the only reason my mom wanted to upgrade was because she wanted to try the new line and get a bigger bowl. It was twenty years old and still ran with no issues! Lucky for me, shortly after moving in, my mom decided that it was time to upgrade her twenty-year-old mixer and I was lucky enough to inherit it. I didn’t realize just how special owning a stand mixer is, as opposed to a cheap, plastic handheld mixer, was until I moved into my first apartment.
My mom got her first KitchenAid just before I was born, so I was lucky enough to grow up baking and cooking with hers. The word “KitchenAid” has become synonymous with the stand mixer, even though it’s the name of a company that sells a wide range of kitchen products. In my world, also known as the world of cooking geeks and baking fanatics, the ultimate kitchen tool to end all others is a KitchenAid stand mixer.
