BEST STAND MIXER EVER !!!

"After having other stand mixers that at the end didn't meet my expectations, I decided to buy this Onyx Artisan Stand Mixer three years ago, and although it's pricey, well worth every penny.
I own a small bakery business and this mixer has been my "workshorse" in the kitchen, Its performance is excellent and mixed goods have a light and tender texture.
Finally I got what I had been dreaming of, very happy with my purchase!!!"

Changed My Life!

"This mixer seemed a little decadent for me, but I registered for it, and it has truly changed cooking and baking in my kitchen. I have all of the attachments (the pasta one rocks!) and I literally use it ALL the time. Super easy to clean and use. It's amazing!"

Feelin Like 'Pros' !!

"I've seen this Kitchenaid mixer on Discovery -How it's Made... nothing to say but 'QUALITY' !!
Now actually using it, well, it makes my wife n I both feel like the 'Pros', it helps because of all the 'Food Network' & Giada we watch.
The additional recipes that came along with the mixer is a great little addition, I may even venture into making some breads, but the pasta dough's, this Kitchenaid simply chugs along like it's not even breakin a sweat !
I more recommendation, definitively get the pasta attachments !"

Great durable mixer

"I have had my mixer for years and it continues to perform like it did the first time I used it. Pretty powerful too. Creaming cold butter is a cinch with the Kitchenaid."

Excellent Machine

"We'd have our kitchen aid mixer for over 10 years and it still looks and works like new. We've use it for waffle batter, cookie dough, cake batter. So much better than a hand mixer."

Mixer of the World

"Use this mixer a million times over. Best of all products. Always makes a great mix. My mixes are always well blended. Never clogs nor clamps. Perfect size and priced well. Very easy to operate the mixer. The only negative I could think of is the size of the bowl especially if i am making triple batches of cakes. On the other hand, it is not the end of the world to start over and make another batch. More perfect cakes the better. But it is still the mixer of the world."

About Time!!

"After using a hand held mixer for 30 years, I finally purchased one this last year. I LOVE it! The splash shield is great to use when whipping cream or other "liquid" items. I just purchased the pasta attachment and am looking forward to making raviolis on the next rainy day:)"

i heart this mixer

"I've always wanted a KitchenAid mixer and this classy looking black and silver one lives up to the dream! Just made cake with it this past weekend and it is perfect. Can't wait for winter and baking season. Looks great on the counter too so I don't have to store it."

Amazing.

"My husband and I purchased one a week ago. My niece said "how many times are you going to use that machine? It's a bit pricy for a mixer". Anyway, I have used it three times in one week. It is very easy to use and clean. I love the fact that it makes dough and takes no time to do it. I will never go back to kneeding dough ever again. I made whole wheat bread twice already and baked cookies, once one evening after work because. All you do in put in the ingredient and way for the bread to rise, which will be unheard of after a long day. I am glad that I purchased it. It is a great invention, and anyone who loves baking will absolutely love it. At first I was hesitant but I have no regrets."

Optimize Your Time

"The BEST appliance purchase I have made. It delivers everything it promises and more. Making cookies, breads, whipping egg whites all have become a breeze since I have owned this wonderful machine. It also looks nice on the kitchen counter so there is no need to try and find a space in your cabinets to store it. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys baking and wants to optimize their time."

I use this at least 4 times a week!

"I received my KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer as a Christmas present and have used it at least 4 times a week since then. It's not only built like a tank, but also adds a touch of glam retro style to my kitchen. It's unbelievable how quickly this whips heavy cream (I barely have time to walk something to the sink and back and the cream is whipped!). Nothing can compare to this mixer when it comes to cookies - I often make 3 dozen (by increasing recipes by 1.5 times) and its bowl isn't even full. The splash guard prevents clouds of flour and potentially wayward eggs. Simply put: if you like to bake, get one!"

Kitchen essential

"I use the KitchenAid Artisan stand Mixer almost every day . It is sturdy , comes with useful attachments for bread kneading, whisking, etc.. A powerful mixing action . A little heavy to carry from counter to storage."

Don't Get a Cheaper One!

"This was one of our favorite wedding gifts. You can use it for everything, and it is very easy to clean and change the attachments. It is very heavy, but I would not ever buy a different mixer. My mom has the ugly orange color from the 70's, but it still works perfectly! Don't settle for the cheaper one you'll only have to replace in a couple of years. Just don't forget to get a "normal" color because I can promise this mixer will outlast the latest fads!"

Awesome mixer

"This thing is the best invention ever. I use it every week from making pizza dough to cake batter. You get perfectly peaked egg whites every time! The motor is powerful enough where you don't get nervous that it will break, even with the thickest, chunkiest cookie doughs. The stainless steel bowl is a cinch to clean."

Powerful and Sturdy

"Very useful staple of my kitchen equipment.
Great for mixing anything including heavy bread doughs.
I have had it for 6 years now, and despite heavy use, it still looks and works like new.
