The Bottom Line
The Kitchen Aid KSM150PS Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer is not only dependable but works well too. What more can you ask for?
I obviously knew this was not a lightweight machine the first time I lifted it but was surprised to read it weighed 30 pounds!
Therefore, this is not a machine that I drag out to mash some potatoes. I do however use it when I make bagels, breads and large batches of cookies. If I kept it out on the counter full time I might use it for more daily uses but I have counters that have hidden storage cupboard and so I just slip it in there. Even that close, I tend to use the little portable for the smaller jobs.
* 325 watts of mixing power
This heavy-duty transmission delivers even when mixing large batches of heavy doughs. I have yet to have it not be able to mix any amount or any consistency of dough.
* Solid base
The 5 rubber feet not only keep it well grounded but protect the countertop as well. Although it comes with the 5-quart bowl it can also accommodate the 3 and 4 1/2-quart bowls. This really is solid and I have never had it move on the counter while mixing.
* Tilt-back head
I like this feature as not only gives easy access to the bowl and beaters but gives me one less piece to misplace!
* 10-speeds
With the large range of settings it is easy to get the perfect mixing action. It has a unique mixing action that moves the beater clockwise while the shaft moves counter clockwise pattern in the stationary mixing bowl. It really does mix really well and never leaves any "unmixed" ingredients behind.
* 3 attachment choices
You get a wire whisk, flat beater and dough hook. They are all heavy, oversized, attach on and off easily and are dishwasher safe. I have read where people say they are not but mine have ran through the dishwasher at least 75 times and are no worse off for it. You can also purchase an assortment of other attachments (such as a grinders and pasta rollers)that attach right on to the mixer but, I don't have any of them.
* 5-quart-capacity bowl
The large stainless steel bowl is easy to get on and off the base. It has an ergonomically designed handle (contoured to fit the hand) which makes lifting and moving the bowl easier. This is such a cool bowl and so easy to handle, even my youngest can move it around without spilling!
* Pouring Shield
This is a 2-piece pouring shield to help prevent splash out but I haven't had much luck using it. My advice would be to
skip this, it's more trouble than it's worth.
NOT JUST BLACK OR WHITE
The Kitchen Aid KSM150PS Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer comes in 12 colors! I cannot imagine that a lot of people buy the pistashio or tangerine colors, but how cool would that be if that went with your kitchen! Mine is the chrome and fits in really well in my kitchen which has black appliances
The mixers all have silver trim except the first two as noted. They are nice enough looking to keep on your counter and with all the different colors, sure to match everyone's kitchen!
This is a wonderful, sturdy and dependable mixer. It comes with a two year warranty and it would be hard to find a better mixer for the price or one with so many color choices.
As I stated above, I don't use the Kitchen Aid KSM150PS Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer on a daily basis but I have used it to make two loaves of bread at a time and triple batches of cookies over and over and it has been problem free each time!
If you are a person (or live with one) that does A LOT of baking or bread making from scratch, this mixer would be a good investment as it should last for many years.
On the other hand, if you do mostly light mixing and use a bread maker to make your bread, I'd say it is just too much money to spend and stick with a portable one.
Off to use this wonderful machine to make a triple batch of sugar cookies with chocolate chunks and tons of nuts :-)
Description of KitchenAid KSM150PSWH Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, White
KITCHENAID ARTISAN STAND MIXER *325 watts, 10 speeds *5 qt. bowl with handle *Includes pouring shield, wire whip, flat beater and dough hook *Tilt head platform *Boxed *WhiteKitchenAid's Artisan stand mixer is a substantial piece of equipment: 325 watts of mixing power make child's play of creaming butter, kneading dough, and whipping cream. The kid in you will appreciate how quick and easy it is to mix up a batch of cookie dough. This model comes with three attachments: a flat beater for making batter, meat loaf, and all textures in-between; a wire whip for egg whites, mayonnaise, and more air-infused creations; and a hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs. All three are solidly constructed and easily secured to the beater shaft with a simple twist. This model also includes a pouring shield for guiding ingredients to their proper destination, and the bowl itself locks tight to the base. Standing about 15 inches high, jutting out a foot, and weighing more than a grown woman's bowling ball, this stand mixer isn't the sort of appliance you'll wipe down and put away. Better to find a square foot of free counter space for easy access; besides, this machine is as pretty as it is rugged--you'll want to show it off. --Betsy Danheim
From the Manufacturer
The Artisan mixer's strong 325-watt motor delivers the power to handle the heaviest mixtures, and mix large batches easily.
The 5-quart polished stainless steel bowl with ergonomic handle is big enough to handle large batches of heavy mixtures. Its ergonomically designed handle is contoured to fit the hand and makes lifting the bowl more comfortable.
Unique Mixing Action
The beater spins clockwise as the shaft spins counter clockwise; moving the beater to 67 different points around the bowl. This unique mixing action creates a thorough blend of ingredients and eliminates the need to rotate the bowl.
Multiple Speeds
10 speeds allow the user to select the right speed for the mixing job; from very high to very slow stir. It's easy to select the precise speed needed for a perfect mix.
Versatile Accessories 
The flat beater, dough hook, and the professional wire whip add to the versatility of the mixer. The flat beater is the ideal accessory for mixing normal to heavy batters. From cake mixes to firm cookie dough, the flat beater mixes quickly and thoroughly.
The dough hook mixes and kneads yeast dough, saving both time and the effort of hand-kneading. The wire whip incorporates the maximum amount of air in whipped mixtures for fluffier whipped cream and angel food cakes.
All attachments are solidly constructed, and attach easily to the stand mixer.
Easy Clean Up
The pouring shield fits around the top of the bowl and prevents ingredient splash-out. The chute makes it convenient and easy to add ingredients.
The tilt-back mixer head allows for easy access to bowl and beaters. A lock lever holds the mixer head securely in place and the bowl fastens tightly to the base.
Optional Attachments 
Optional attachments (sold separately) complete the package to make cooking a pleasure. From citrus juicer to sausage stuffer, KitchenAid stand mixers can handle just about any job in the kitchen.
