Overview
The KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer (KSM150PS) is a versatile, countertop mixer built for home bakers and cooks who want a reliable, full-featured appliance that also makes a style statement. With a 5-quart stainless-steel mixing bowl, 10 speed settings and a tilt-head design, it handles everything from whipping creams and egg whites to mixing cookie doughs and kneading typical home bread recipes. The model ships with a flat beater, dough hook, wire whip and a convenient pouring shield, and the front hub accepts more than 10 optional attachments (sold separately) to expand into pasta making, food grinding and more. Aqua Sky finish adds a retro color option for kitchens that value both form and function.
