KitchenAid® Artisan® Stand Mixer

(KSM150PS)

It has a “Flour Power” rating of 9 cups

bread or 9 dozen cookies or 7 pounds (3.2 kg) of mashed potatoes.  That’s a lot of potatoes.


It has a 5-quart (4.73 L) polished
stainless steel bowl with handle, coated flat beater, dough hook and
wire whip, as well as a two-piece pouring shield.

It is super versatile and, with different
attachments, the KitchenAid® Stand Mixer becomes a culinary centre. You

It comes in one of 26 colours, so you are bound to find the perfect one for your kitchen.


It is iconic.  The
KitchenAid® Stand Mixer has been on the market for over 90 years because it has quality you can feel, a timeless design, and an
easy-to-use premium performance.  Seriously, even if you don’t bake, use it as an “objet d’art”.

    Bay LeafThe dark hues found in fresh spring leaves inspired this tranquil colour. Bay Leaf brings a sense of calm to the most eclectic of spaces. With a strong sense of purpose, it brings the best of the outdoors—indoors.That all makes sense to me, but i was kinda hoping for something a little more adventurous!!megmuphy.e @ gmail.com

    Apparently I'm Black Onyx…I disagree…though I would have a hard time choosing…I've never tried as I know I can't really afford one and don't want to disappoint myself…I would love to be forced to pick because I've won!
