The praise reviewers mention most: solid build (3 reviews), easy to use (2 reviews) and powerful (2 reviews).

Whipping cream is fast, though sweet doughs still climb up the traditional C-hook because it isn't a spiral design.

It's how well reviewed KitchenAid Artisan Plus Tilt-Head Stand Mixer is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a appliance needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed appliances here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
Category: Stand mixer. Type: Tilt-head stand mixer. Capacity: 4.7 L. Model number: 5KSM50. Power: 325 W.
