KitchenAid Artisan Mixer 5KSM175PS Pistachio

A beautiful thing, very strong and heavy. Real quality. What I think is bad is that everything just keeps working if you put the head up. I think the thing is strong enough to twist your finger off so you should expect it to stop when you lift it up. So it is possible to turn it on if it is up and you grab the wrong button. This is also stated as a risk in the manual and they recommend that you remove the plug every time you put it up ... While it could still be solved with a simple switch. There is also a bit of slack in the connection between the top and bottom so it flips back and forth a bit when kneading, I wonder if that's a problem, I don't think so really.

Okay, it's an expense, but that rib, kidney or whatever you have to give up to buy this machine is REALLY worth it! I hesitated for quite a while, because my old machine also worked quite well. But I haven't regretted this purchase for a second. It is a solid machine that does not just walk across your counter as soon as you start kneading dough. He kneads, mixes, works and sloshes like the best. Sometimes he leaves a small layer on the edges that you have to loosen with a spatula (flip's tip: turn the thing off first), but then you at least still have the idea that you are doing something yourself. It's just bad for your figure, because baking is a lot easier. On the other hand, you also train while using the machine because if you want to remove it from its place, you have to move about 14 kilos.

Maybe a little too light to knead a lot of bread dough
