Is the Artisan worth it over a cheaper hand mixer?

For frequent baking, yes. It mixes hands-free, handles 9 dozen cookies of dough in one bowl, and takes attachments a hand mixer cannot. A hand mixer is enough for occasional small batches.

How does it compare with the Classic Series?

The Artisan has a 5-quart bowl and a 325-watt motor; the Classic has a smaller 4.5-quart bowl and a weaker motor. The Artisan also offers far more color choices.

What comes in the box?

The mixer, a 5-quart stainless steel bowl with handle, a coated flat beater, a coated dough hook and a 6-wire whip. Other attachments are sold separately.

Can it knead bread dough?

Yes, up to 4 loaves in one batch with the dough hook. Very stiff, large batches can slow the motor, so mix those in smaller amounts.

Is the bowl dishwasher-safe?

Yes. The stainless steel bowl and its handle are dishwasher-safe; the coated beater and dough hook are better hand-washed to protect the coating.
