The KitchenAid Artisan series mixer is good for every day ingredient mixing at home, as well as for grinding, pasta making and more. It comes with 10 speed settings which can tolerate most mixing needs and a transparent glass bowl for those who prefer to see the mixture not only from the top, but also from sides, when in use. It is mid-range, when it comes to the weight of the mixers, therefore easy to handle while still being sturdy enough.

Cons
Con Attachments do not last long
The attachments that come with the mixing stand by default, are fragile and do not last as long as the stainless steel ones in KitchenAid 600 series.
Con It is heavy
Even though it weighs 24 pounds, which is 4 pounds lighter than KitchenAid 600 series mixer, this mixer is best left in a convenient place for easy access when needed, as it is still on the heavy side.
Con Attachments only suitable for hand washing
The attachments are not dishwasher safe, which might be inconvenient for those that use them frequently and do not prefer washing them with hands.
Con It does not have dual voltage
The mixer comes with USA voltage (110 V), therefore cannot be used abroad without an adapter.
