Kitchen Aid Artisan 5 Quart Mixer - Custom Metallic - Chrome

    Beauty, Style, and Function - I have used Kitchenaid mixers for years but had yet to own one. This one, of course, performs exactly as a Kitchenaid should. It arrived quickly and sturdily packed. The custom metallic chrome finish is beautiful and requires the user to clean it pretty regularly. This is the trade off for something as aesthetically pleasing and functional as this. I purchased the pasta roller attachment set through another store and have used it a few times with great pleasure. The convenience offered by a mixer of this type is one of the draws for owning one. You will pay more for one with the polished finish but get the same functionality from any of the models. It is merely a matter of preference. If you like the idea of the polished chrome, it is a beautiful thing to have on your counter top.
