5.0 out of five stars A great appliance good buyer support, January 21, 2004
By Kathleen (Tijeras, NM United States) See all my reviews This review is from: KitchenAid KSM150PSWW Artisan Series 5 Quart Mixer, White on White (Kitchen) My wedding gift mixer (a Sunbeam Mixmaster) turned 33 a week before Christmas, and my husband thought it was time for me to have a new one. He gifted me on Christmas with the KitchenAid five Qt. Artisan in white. I love this mixer and leave it out on my counter, something I never did with the Mixmaster. I newly bought the citrus juicer attachment from and am happy with it also. I haven’t read all 109 last reviews on this site, but I have read some that were disgruntled because their Artisans didn’t mix well. I firstly had the same problem with the beater/bowl clearance. It’s easy to remedy. There’s a beater modification screw on the mixer and the manual describes how to make the modifications. I got better information by calling buyer support at KitchenAid. The technician told me to drop a dime into the empty bowl, turn the mixer on (about setting 2) using the flat beater, and it should move the dime 1/4″ to 1/2″ every time it rotates around the bowl. This is the right clearance for the beater to mix everything at the bottom of the bowl, but not low enough to produce wear on the beater from constant friction with the bottom of the bowl throughout handling. I tweaked the screw setting 1/4 turn every time till I got that dime moving. At this setting, I can now beat a single egg white to inflexible peaks in the five qt. Bowl. That is remarkable.
This mixer is as tough as a tank, and you may be able to hear the quality as it combinations. Though I had earlier bought a KitchenAid mixer for my daughter as a gift, I could never splurged on one for myself. I’m so happy my husband thought I was worth it!

5.0 out of five stars What are you waiting for???, September 23, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: KitchenAid KSM150PSGR Artisan Series 5 Quart Mixer, Imperial Gray (Kitchen) I love this thing! I have friends who’ve had KitchenAid mixers for many years and they have generally raved about their quality and durability. Well, I went for it and I have totally no regrets. You want to talk about a hard part of kitchen machinery? This is the epitome of what "Made in America" used to mean! Unlike all the cheapo mixers out there, I am totally confident that this thing will outlast ME! The only problem is I am wondering why I waited so long! > This may help many of you I read a review someplace in which the reviewer gave this mixer a poor ranking because it left dry ingredients in the bottom of the bowl read the instruction booklet, people. It obviously states that if this occurs (or if the attachments scrape the bowl), there’s an modification screw that raises or lowers the mixing assembly. I had to somewhat lower mine and it now incorporates everything into the mix. The KitchenAid mixers are well worth the money..or you may be able to keep purchasing junk mixers every couple years.The choice is yours.

5.0 out of five stars Best Mixer Ever! Love, Love, Love it! A+A+A+A+, September 26, 2003
By Mrs. Romano “Mrs. Romano” (Boston, MA United States) See all my reviews This review is from: KitchenAid KSM150PSWW Artisan Series 5 Quart Mixer, White on White (Kitchen) This KitchenAid mixer is an excellent investment! I just love mine! The dough hook attachment is the greatest invention ever. No more kneading! I used this great machine to make four pounds of Pizza Geina dough without breaking a sweat. Add your ingredients, turn it on and it does the rest! It has a powerful motor and every part of this mixer is excellent quality and well made. It’s easy to lock in the mixing bowl and it’s also a breeze to clean. The different attachments are easy to attach and remove. It could be impossible not to love it! Did I talk about how easy the clean up is? I love it so much I bought the KitchenAid quilted cover for it. Once you use this mixer you’ll never want to use anything else! The Best!!!
