Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid KSM150PSBU Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Cobalt Blue
Customer Review: Great Mixer-- Use as Key Item for Crisis Planning and baking from scratch
Summary: 5 Stars
All other reviews will share what a fantastic mixer and how much fun it is to use. We also recevied outstanding service from HomeExpo (shipper), when we did not get a manual. They answered our e-mail in less than 24 hours, sent us two e-mails and called us two times to follow-up and ensure we were happy.
First, you just have to buy the book (from Amazon) "The Mixer Bible" when you buy it for yourself and expecially if it is a gift.
If you really want to cook (bake) from scratch, with the most nutritious ingredients, buy from Amazon the "Wondermill Grain Mill". The Wondermill grinds flour from wheat grain, other grains and even beans-- at super fast spead. Also makes a great set-up for Crisis Preparedness Planning, assuming you have electricity. A generator for 10 minutes will grind enough grain for a few weeks of bread products. 10 more minutes with the mixer and you are the "local baker".
If Crisis Planning is a consideration, also buy from Amazon the book, "Crisis Preparedness Handbook" by Jack Spigarelli and the book "Cooking with Home Storage" by Peggy Layton. Both will give you the knowledge for developing and executing a serious and workable family crisis preparedness and storage plan. The mixer and grain mill will enable you to store what you eat and eat what you store.
Lastly, if you also want a hand grain mill, the Country Living Grain Mill is what you want (hard to turn, but if no electricity it will be a life saver). If you want great wheat grain, and other grains search for Honeyville Grain, Inc., where they sell bulk grains and only charge $4.95 for shipping anywhere, any weight. Buy a few hundred pounds of grain and Honeyville will save you considerabe money.
So-- get the Crisis Preparedness Handbook, which will enable you to develop a crisis preparedness and storage plan and then move forward to fill the shopping list-- incuding these products. Oh- this whole process is a great insurance policy for a crisis (or pandemic) and enables you and family to have a great deal of fun cooking from "real" scratch.
Description of KitchenAid KSM150PSBU Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Cobalt Blue
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. This model also includes a pouring shield for guiding ingredients to their proper destination, and 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.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.

From the Manufacturer
The Artisan mixer's strong 325-watt motor delivers the power to handle the heaviest mixtures, and mix large batches easily.
The 5-quart polished stainless steel bowl with ergonomic handle is big enough to handle large batches of heavy mixtures. Its ergonomically designed handle is contoured to fit the hand and makes lifting the bowl more comfortable.
Unique Mixing Action
The beater spins clockwise as the shaft spins counter clockwise; moving the beater to 67 different points around the bowl. This unique mixing action creates a thorough blend of ingredients and eliminates the need to rotate the bowl.
Multiple Speeds
10 speeds allow the user to select the right speed for the mixing job; from very high to very slow stir. It's easy to select the precise speed needed for a perfect mix.
Versatile Accessories 
The flat beater, dough hook, and the professional wire whip add to the versatility of the mixer. The flat beater is the ideal accessory for mixing normal to heavy batters. From cake mixes to firm cookie dough, the flat beater mixes quickly and thoroughly.
The dough hook mixes and kneads yeast dough, saving both time and the effort of hand-kneading. The wire whip incorporates the maximum amount of air in whipped mixtures for fluffier whipped cream and angel food cakes.
All attachments are solidly constructed, and attach easily to the stand mixer.
Easy Clean Up
The pouring shield fits around the top of the bowl and prevents ingredient splash-out. The chute makes it convenient and easy to add ingredients.
The tilt-back mixer head allows for easy access to bowl and beaters. A lock lever holds the mixer head securely in place and the bowl fastens tightly to the base.
Optional Attachments 
Optional attachments (sold separately) complete the package to make cooking a pleasure. From citrus juicer to sausage stuffer, KitchenAid stand mixers can handle just about any job in the kitchen.
