i will just answer your query without casting aspersions upon your character.

 

i have one. i love it. worth every penny.

 

there's several different models. but i've only seen/used three of them.

 

i have the Artisan (the one with a multitude of colours available). has yet to not meet my needs in the kitchen. 5 quart bowl. 325 watt motor (up to mixing bread doughs without any problem). comes with the bowl, a pouring shield (which i've yet to use, it gets in the way and is in a cupboard somewhere), flat beater and wire whip.

 

there's the Classic series which looks much the same, but is available only in a few colours. and has a smaller bowl (4.5 quart) and smaller motor (250 watt). comes with all the same accessories though.

 

the other one i've seen/tried is the 7 quart lift stand mixer. no fancy colours. and the bowl lifts up rather than twisting out of the stand like the other two. it has a 7 quart bowl and a 1.3 HP motor. it's a serious mixer, lol. and probably more than most households need.

 

just checked A mazon UK compared to A mazon here re: pricing. they're about twice the price there! but i don't know how that compares to other similar quality mixers there. they seem to go on sale around here just about this time of year -- a couple of hundred dollars off. so you may get lucky there as well.

 

the only problem i`d foresee with the Artisan one is knowing which colour to choose for someone else's gift.

 

 

cheers lgir.

 

you see them all the time on tv, british bake off etc, but i dont know anyone who has one so its good to hear positive feedback.

 

i see two artisans on the web. one roughly double the price and the only discernable difference is the mixing bowl size - that must be your quarts then ;-)

i see what mood i'm in when i buy it.

 

one problem you have living where i do is the cost. everything is more expensive here and its a pain in hoop getting stuff delivered.

but b;uto always finds a way!

so.. what colour are you going to pick?

 

im a man of taste and style.

Jesus fuck!

 

First thing you should do with your new mixer is put some testosterone in the bowl, then add 1 cup of man the fuck up juice.

 

Then drink and forget you ever started this thread.

speak of the devil! every Artisan is on as of today til nearer the end of December -- 40% off.

i know it's the Canadian site, but perhaps it's worth having it shipped and paying any import duty at this price?

 

$300 CDN is about £188 (about £220 less than the going rate there)

EDIT: poop. skip that thought. i forgot: you'd have to adapt the plug.

I just bought a food processor, I should have done it MT and Bluto style and started a thread but forgot, it's white.
