Bought the Artisan Plus after a discount made it only about $90 more than the regular Artisan. Felt the light, double flex edge beater, stainless accessories and speed upgrades were well worth it, though harder to justify at full price.

Got solid metal knobs, a fingerprint-resistant matte finish, and a spring-free hub that snaps attachments in securely. It runs quieter during whipping tests, and the stainless steel tools won't chip or oxidize in the dishwasher. The stiffer double-sided flex edge beater fits tight against the bowl, though, and needs a short break-in period.

Got a built-in bowl light and stainless dishwasher-safe beaters that power through thick cookie dough. 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.
