| KitchenAid's Artisan stand mixer is a substantial piece of equipment: 325 watts of mixing power make child's play of creaming butter, kneading dough, and whipping cream. The kid in you will appreciate how quick and easy it is to mix up a batch of cookie dough. This model comes with three attachments: a flat beater for making batter, meat loaf, and all textures in-between; a wire whip for egg whites, mayonnaise, and more air-infused creations; and a hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs. All three are solidly constructed and easily secured to the beater shaft with a simple twist. The bowl itself locks tight to the base. Standing about 15 inches high, jutting out a foot, and weighing more than a grown woman's bowling ball, this stand mixer isn't the sort of appliance you'll wipe down and put away. Better to find a square foot of free counter space for easy access; besides, this machine is as pretty as it is rugged--you'll want to show it off. --Betsy Danheim Editor's note: This is a reconditioned small appliance. Reconditioned generally means that the appliance has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the appliance back to like-new condition. Some appliances may contain cosmetic blemishes. |

 Factory-Reconditioned KitchenAid Artisan Series stand mixer |

My factory-reconditioned KitchenAid Artisan Series 5 quart stand mixer arrived in perfect condition (no scratches, chips, or dents) with all of its accessories. All parts fit together properly. The mixer worked flawlessly on the first try and has continued to do so ever since.
It is sturdy, very well made and a pleasure to use. I have no regrets that I bought a factory-reconditioned product. I would recommend KitchenAid factory-reconditioned products to anyone, and I do. |
A great mixer!

Super fast shipping! Great packaging! Absolutely no blemishes! A perfect mixer!
I also purchased the pouring shield and I feel it isn't a necessity. I use it, but it's a bit of a pain to get it together and to keep it together once you start adding stuff. And the dry ingredients still "poof" up and the shield only catches about 75% of the poof; the other 25% ends up on the mixer! It also makes it impossible to scrape the bowl! You have to turn off the mixer, take off the shield, lift the top, scrape, put the top down, the shield back on...
I love the mixer, and I enjoyed reading all the other helpful reviews I read before I purchased it. I will add one small negative thing, tho. I am used to scraping the bowl! It has taken every ounce of willpower I have to obey the rules and not scrape while the mixer is operating. I don't want to lose a spatula, but I also want to scrape. It's a pain to lift the top and scrape with the mixer off. But I will say that the mixer mixes so well and so evenly that scraping is usually not necessary, even with a triple batch of cookies!
So, all in all, I think you will be happy with your purchase and will enjoy it for years to come!! I plan to! |
Good Product Great Service

I have wanted a KitchenAid stand mixer for a long time and thought the refurbished price was perfect. From the start, the mixer did a fantastic job with everything from baking mixes to scratch cookies to bread dough. But I thought the motor sounded a bit rough. After checking with a friend who owns a brand new Artisan, I decided my motor definitely sounded rough during use.
I called the customer service center for Kitchen Aid expecting a hassle. Instead, the representative listened to my mixer over the phone and verified the faulty motor. I will receive a new refurbished mixer by UPS and the delivery person will return one week later to my home to pick up my faulty mixer -- I have a full week to package up the old mixer using the replacement mixer's box. No hassle. No time wasted on my part running to the post office or UPS office. No shipping and handling charges paid for out of my pocket. What a dream!
I highly recommend this mixer both for its perfomance but also for the customer service you'd expect from a company like KitchenAid. |
You'd never know it was reconditioned

| I bought a reconditioned KitchenAid last year, and it runs like a champ. I've used every feature, and run this thing hard for a good year, with absolutely NO complaints! Looking at this appliance, you truly would never know that it was reconditioned at the factory. It is beautiful. I'm so pleased with my purchase. You should get one too :). |
FANTASTIC!!!

| I just can't express how happy I am with my reconditioned Kitchenaid Mixer. The machine arrived with absolutely no blemishes...the condition was top notch, just as if it was a brand new item. I couldn't wait to try it out to see how loud the motor would be and how well it worked...the thing is amazing! It is very quiet (or at least much quieter than I expected from a large mixer such as this one) and it handled a double batch of bread dough with ease. Since getting this mixer, I've used it way more than I ever thought I would...I'm cooking and baking all the time now! My husband and I made pretzels today and they were soooo good. Everything I cook with my mixer tastes better...I can't explain it, but it does! My banana bread is more moist and delicious than ever. This machine is so easy to clean also...you wash the bowl and the attachment, give the standing unit one quick wipe, and you're done. I can't express how happy I am with this mixer, I'm only sorry that I waited so long to buy it!! |
