- Is the Artisan worth it over the Classic?
- The Artisan adds a larger 5-quart bowl and a stronger motor than the Classic, which matters if you bake bread or big batches. For occasional cakes and frosting, the Classic is enough.
- Can it knead bread dough?
- Yes, with the included dough hook, up to about 4 loaves of white bread per batch. Use low speed and let the motor rest between batches on very stiff dough.
- What comes in the box?
- The mixer, a 5-quart stainless steel bowl, a coated flat beater, a coated dough hook and a wire whip. A pouring shield is not included on this model.
- Does the bowl fit other KitchenAid mixers?
- The 5-quart bowl fits tilt-head models such as the Artisan and Classic. It does not fit bowl-lift models, which use a different bowl shape.
- Is $499.99 a good price?
- It is at the high end of this model's recent range. The Artisan often sells below that during holiday sales, so waiting can save money if you are not in a hurry.
- Can I put the parts in the dishwasher?
- KitchenAid lists the bowl and attachments as dishwasher safe, but many owners hand-wash them to protect the coated finish.
