What is the difference between this model and the Kitchenaid artisan nickel? There is a significant price difference.

It's due to the copper...it's a more expensive metal to buy, so it costs more to sell. You get it because it looks so beautiful, not because it works better :)

From what I have read online, the metallic series is clad in the metal finish. The artisan series is coated with one layer of standard paint. Please check the Williams Sonoma website for a comparison chart of the different models and a good description of the metallic series. *The artisan model is painted.

According to KitchenAid's website, differences are: Artisan has glass bowl, no pouring shield and weighs 29 pounds; KSM152PSNK has polished stainless steel bowl, pouring shield and weighs 27 pounds. KitchenAid's website offers the option to compare models.

They are both 325 watt 10 speed 5 gal tilt heads. Copper finish seems to always run more. More of availability issue as it isn't solid copper. Glass bowls just came out last year but I resisted. Amazon is always out of the copper finish.The current price is about $200 over what I paid in '05. I have lots of French copper in my kitchen but also have a black 6 qt KA pro which my chef husband wanted. However it is a lift head. Buy what you love they last forever.

First there is a difference in the model numbers. All models come with the same size pan and same cooking features. The difference between the models is the accessories. The difference in price is like most things on Amazon , the same item can come from different vendors. For example the one for 99$ has a shipping charge of 50+ dollars where the one for 171$ had no shipping charge. I love my unit, I own all the Ninja products. It means less clutter , one product to do the job of many. Just research all vendors and their pricing for your best deal. And don't forget to check out Amazon warehouse for those great prices on open box, refurbished or used items.

I bought a remanufactured unit, which was less then the new unit. 349.00 new and 279.00 remfg. I don't know where you found the new unit for 249.00? I have to tell you that I am very pleased with the one I bought. Have not used my regular stove oven since. The convection feature is great. Pizza is the best. Pies are wonderful Cookies are even better. VERY PLEASED.

On September 7, 2009, we bought a black onyx Kitchen-Aid Artisan 5 quart stand mixer from Bed, Bath and Beyond in Dayton, Ohio, for $232.92 including tax. Normally it would have been $299.99 but we used one of their 20% off coupons. (Apparently, Artisan mixer prices vary according to the colors as well as where one buys the product.)Amazon wanted $289.95 but the S

I have a Classic Plus model, 275 watts. I was doing a little research, I think the main differance is the motor, the bowl, and the color options. I haven't used an Artisan personaly but I have bought a 5 quart bowl with the handle that comes with the Artisan and use it in my Classic Plus. It works just fine. My wife makes big batches of cutout cookies every year and it boggs down a bit with that kind of load, but that things a tank, it just takes it and asks for more!

Probably nothing. On the les expensive blender are there other differences? Attachments? Motor capacity? The difference between the extra two speeds is not significant but there may be other things that account for the price.

I've had two KitchenAids. I love the one that is professional grade and 35 years old. They don't make them like they used to. I love my Breville. It's got power for the big jobs. Every Breville product I have gets used often. Used the expression maker everyday for 5 years. When it wore out, we bought another same model.

I don't know the difference, but the KitchenAid coffee grinder that we received is great. It is fast in grinding coffee with a touch of a switch.

I think you will find this link very helpful in answering your question. I did not know much about the Professional, so this is the best I can do for you. I learned a lot from it. http://www.smallapplianceshortcuts.com/mixers/which-is-the-best-kitchenaid-mixer-for-me/

Price is the only difference I can see. Save yourself a few dollars, this one works great - I also use it to make Cuban sandwiches & it does a great job!

I have purchased both for gifts. I paid $49 and $110. The more expensive machine is more metal and less plastic, looks better, and it is heavier. From what I can tell, the less expensive machine requires a little more pressure to process the frozen fruit. The higher priced machine appears to get the job done a little easier, and seems like it might last longer. Both make equally delicious frozen desserts!

The reviews I read said that there are no replacement parts/attachments available from Kitchenaid for the Costco model. It was a special arrangement between the companies, so the Costco one is not like the rest of the product line. This caused me to purchase mine from Bed, Bath and Beyond rather than Costco. The price was within $10.

I do believe that they are the same. 1.3 H.P. DC Motor which Is I understand it uses a gear drive mechanism. Believe it or not the next step up is a Hobart 5 Qt. mixer with a 1/3 H.P motor. I am not sure why the motors are rated like this. Last I knew the Hobart used bely drive and still has to be turned off to switch gears of which there are only three. It will however low through just about anything without complaint all day every day. Bagel dough is one of the hardest doughs on a mixer. I wouldn't recommend using this as the primary mixer in a Bagel Shop, but other than that the Hobart 5 Qt. is a classic beast of a machine and you will find that the 3 speeds are all you really knead:) The only issue is the cost. you can buy 3 Kitchen Aid mixers for the price of one Hobart 5-quart. So I guess it would all depend on what you do with the mixer and how often you do it. Hobart mixers go up in size to the point where you could fit a person in the mixing bowl. Even though the Kitchen Aid says it is "Commercial" it isn't really when put up against the same size of Hobart mixer (same manufacturer, Hobart Corp makes Kitchen Aid). So decide on how much money you want to spend and get the Hobart if you can do so without putting to much strain on your pocket, you will not be sorry. I have used them in Commercial Kitchens for 30+ years and they are the standard by which all other mixers are measured. Although other manufacturers make soma great mixers to be sure, it is my opinion that there is nothing like a Hobart mixer for function and day in and day out durability. Hobart's are also easy to get parts for and fix if some does ever go wrong. You can also look into used/refurbished Hobart's without much worry as to their ability as long as they are bought by a Certified Hobart Reseller or someone you trust and who knows the history of the machine. Best of luck and happy mixing...

I am an owner, not a merchant. I have the first version which is green and the latest model is blue. I've examined the blue version and cannot find a significant difference between the two, other than cosmetic. I've been using mine a few years and it works great, assuming it is set up correctly with a good blade. The current price shown in the Amazon add is about $100 more than I paid but, that was a few years ago and I didn't get free shipping so, you might want to look at all costs involved.

Not lose but save in energy bills and cost difference in buying the machine. The Artisan does everything the 575 watts do. The Professional 600 series is just larger in mixing size, 6 quarts vs. 5 quarts. Plus the doughhook is different. It was hard choice for me but in the end, the tilt head was what made the difference for me. I do not think you will go wrong with Artisan, but in the end it is up to you.

Maybe you are referring to the attachment for the pasta roller machine (other brands), which is not the kitchenaid one. In this case, you are right it is much more expensive. I love these pasta roller, I even use it for fondant and it works great
