Is The Kitchenaid Artisan Stand Mixer Worth The Money?

Nearly all consumer review sites, professional chefs, restaurant owners and home cooks agree, the kitchenAid artisan stand mixer is an impressive appliance. The name KitchenAid has been associated with quality in terms of both performance and the longevity of its kitchen appliances since 1919.

The only thing that seems to hold anyone who loves to cook back from purchasing an Artisan is the question of price. Is the KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer worth the money?

Depending on when and where you make your purchase, the price of a KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer may vary between around $270 and $350. Attachments that can be used with the Artisan vary in price as well, from around $15 to almost as much as the mixer itself costs. Yet practically everyone who owns one comes to understand sooner or later, that they made a smart, long term investment when they purchased their KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer.

It isn't uncommon to hear stories from owners who've used KitchenAid stand mixers for 30 or more years. Making a one time purchase for a mixer that will last for decades is much more cost effective than replacing hand mixers every two or so years.

A KitchenAid stand mixer saves money on the high cost of purchasing multiple kitchen equipment and appliances. An Artisan can serve the function of not only a batter mixer, but a dough mixer, bread kneader, pasta maker, meat grinder, vegetable chopper, citrus juicer and ice cream maker - and that's not all.

Although you do need to purchase accessories to utilize the Artisan stand mixer in place of other appliances, the accessories are reasonably priced compared to the cost of purchasing entirely separate machines. Consider too how often you might need to replace an ice cream maker, dough mixer or juicer over the course of a few decades. Clearly, purchasing a KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer and additional accessories one time each represents a much better value.

KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixers can also help you save money by allowing you to prepare delicious meals quickly and easily at home. It takes no time at all to mix your own bread dough, chop veggies or fruits or shred cabbage or lettuce for salads or coleslaw with an Artisan. You can also grind your own meats for a low cost alternative to store bought ground beef, chicken or turkey.

If you rarely cook at home and only occasionally bake a cake or brownies from a store-bought mix, a KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer may not be worth the price you pay to own one. But for anyone who bakes or cooks fresh meals on a regular basis, the Artisan is more than worth the purchase price, and is and investment that repays for years to come.
