KitchenAid Artisan Series 5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer, Contour Silver
Premium
Our verdict
The Artisan is the default recommendation for a reason: a 5-quart bowl handles cookie dough, cake batter and bread dough for a household, the tilt-head design makes adding ingredients easy, and the flat beater, dough hook and wire whip cover most baking tasks. It is a long-term purchase rather than a gadget, with a wide range of attachments available later. The honest drawbacks are weight, counter space and the fact that it is a significant purchase for anyone who bakes only occasionally.
