Their new Artisan kneading dough on the lowest speed sounded loud and was warm to hot to the touch after 15 minutes.
Their newly bought Artisan started making a lot of noise kneading a stiff bread dough, so they stopped it mid-knead.
Used both types and found the Artisan tilt head scrambled, shimmied, was noisier and seemed to struggle with doubles or bread.
Their 17-year-old Artisan broke making icing, running at half speed with a loud grinding sound.
Wouldn't recommend their Artisan tilt: it is noisy, gets very hot, bounces and the plastic coating on the dough hook peels off.
Their Artisan KSM150PSOB has become extremely loud on stir and speed 2, even after a full regrease.
Their month-old 5-qt Artisan clicks with the dough hook or thick mixtures, moves around and sometimes changes speed on its own.
Their brand new Artisan made two very good pizza doughs, then started making a worrying noise while running.
Their 5 qt Artisan is loud and grinds and groans making buttercream, unlike their quieter Professional 5 Plus.
