Decorating By punkiin Updated 30 Sep 2007 , 1:20am by nefgaby
Ok. QVC has the Professional 5qt as the hotpick today for $272...with 4 installment payments.
In looking at the comments...several said the Artisan was better because of the tilt, but they also said they easily broke. The artisan is $280 something, but NO installment payments.
Please give me some feedback on which model you like best. I want to buy one.

I have the 5 quart bowl lift model. My mom has the one with the tilt, and I like mine so much better! I can leave it in place on my counter when I'm working because I don't need to pull it out from under the top cabinets to raise the head. It also seems alot sturdier to me. I know some people have said that they don't like having to remove the beater in order to remove the bowl, but this has never seemed like any sort of issue to me.
Hope this helps!
Pumkiin- Go to Amazon. com their Artisan 5 quart is $199 the Professional is $220 something. Or go to http://www.shopkitchenaid.com/product_detail.asp?HDR=search&T1=KTO+KB26G1XGN The kitchen aid site has thr 6 quart on special with free shipping for $249. QVC prices are too high.
I have one Classic with the tilt head, one Pro, and two commercial KAs. I like the tilt bowl for the convenience, but as I progressed in learning new techniques, I found that I need the more powerful motors that the commercial and pro models offer.
The drop bowl is only a slight inconvenience, compared to the time it takes my icings to beat up.

The KitchenAid outlet store is having a weekly special on the 6 qt deluxe edition. I think it ends today though. I bought it a few days ago and can't wait for it to get here. Here's the link http://www.shopkitchenaid.com/product_detail.asp?HDR=search&T1=KTO+KB26G1XGN.
It's only $249!
, go with the pro!
