New Artisan arrived with a chipped housing from the bowl edge hitting the body in transit, and the paint finish did not feel like a 600 euro mixer, so they are returning it.
Their KitchenAid came with scratches and chips twice and they returned both; a store unit had minor scratches too, so they kept it and think quality control needs work.
