Factory-Reconditioned KitchenAid RRK150WW Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, White on White

Factory-Reconditioned KitchenAid RRK150WW Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, White on White Review

I chose the reconditioned model due to the significant price savings, and am very happy with my choice. Although the box and manual clearly indicate that the product is reconditioned, and it doesn't come with the pour shield for the bowl, the mixer itself was in perfect condition, and there we just a few very minor scratches inside the bowl. Those scratches are the sort of thing you might get in your first use of the bowl. This mixer is strong, and doesn't seem noisy to me at all. It's certainly MUCH quieter than our hand mixer. Some higher end KitchenAid mixers have a bowl-lift feature, but I actually prefer to be able to tip the whole head backward and out of the way to get the bowl out. So far, we've made banana bread and a few batches of mashed potatoes using this mixer, and are very pleased with the results.

Factory-Reconditioned KitchenAid RRK150WW Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, White on White Specifications

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
