I’ve made my Artisan stand mixer for many, many years and it has held up beautifully! When Covid hit, several friends called to asked 1) Should I get a stand mixer and 2) Which one? So, if you have the counter space and you make more than just your basic brownies and cookies every once in a while, then the stand mixer is worth purchasing. As to which one, I am partial to this one as it has held up and been thoroughly abused by recipe testing and also my kids when they were younger.
