The Artisan model has a larger mixing bowl (5qt) with a handle on it, and a larger motor 350watts. Easier to use than the Classic due to the ergonomics of the bowl, less motor strain when mixing heavy doughs or large batches.

I own/use the paintshaver pro and the metabo. I preferred the metabo and my crew of workers used to argue who got to use it. The paintshaver pro is aggressive and will gouge the woodwork. The metabo on any setting never gouged. They strip equally fast, the metabo area needs less prep before paint in my experience. I suggest buying an extra set of blades for either one. Hitting hidden nails dulls them and I've learned the hard way and had to order them and wait for delivery. If I wouldve known i would have bought 2 metabos instead of one paintshaver pro. Oh and also the vaccume you hook it up to makes a big difference also. Hope this review helps your anticipation

I just ordered this one and I received the newer model. It has a wider handle, fill line markers, narrower spout, polished outside, not shiny on the inside. Works great!!! I love this item.

From a chat with a KitchenAid rep on 1/9/14: The motor in the 5 quart Artisan is 325 watts so it can handle 9 cups of all purpose flour while the 4.5 quart Classic Plus stand mixer has a less powerful motor so it can only handle 8 cups of all purpose flour. The 4.5 quart stand mixer has a 275 watt motor. They both have a combination of metal and nylon gears, but it is the same combo. The attachments are universal so they will fit all KA stand mixers regardless of age or model. The bowls are considered accessories and those need to be specific to each model, but the tilt head mixers such as the 4.5 and 5 quart mixers have interchangeable accessories. The bowls can be used between the two.

I had previously answered with details of the Artisan 50 but was not aware of the L100. Curious, I started searching for information. I found the L100 mentioned only on European sites; I'm not sure it's even available in the US. One Indian review I read panned the printer, labeling it "expensive for a single-function printer, noisy and slow."

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.

From friends of mine who've had both (and also advised me to purchase this product. The number of upgrades are quite numerous and some of the best ones are subtle (like huge improvements to the interaction of strokes to emulate a real brush/pen feel for example.) From where I am sitting, I would say that it is very much worth the upgrade. In case you're still curious as to what all is actually different, here's a link to a list of what each version has. http://manga.smithmicro.com/comparison.html

This one is in the professional line. I had their top of the line home model for over 20 years. I figured this would last until I die.

The DM0600 is made by Jarden Consumer Solutions--New Sources of Growth according to the product details. It also comes with a "no-brainer" mixing tool aka a piece of plastic with measuring incriments on it that attaches to the top of the blender jar which the DM0500 does not have. I own the DM0500 and at the time I purchased it the DM0600 wasn't available for a cheaper price. It's a difference of about $25 and if I had to order again I would purchase the legitimately advertised margaritaville brand DM0500 however, all the reviews are in the 5 and 4 star range so it is possible the the DM0600 is a quality unit.

The difference is most likely going to be material quality. I use the Vermont American all the time and it does the job right on the spot, like a pro without it that has everything set into muscle memory. They look the same but one is going to last longer than the other, so go by the one that has better reviews by people.

I believe the difference is in the handles. The Renaissance is going to have a more classic feel while the Genesis will have a softer feel. I guess it's just a matter of personal preference.

I love mynKitchenaid Pro-600. Hated the hand mixer, just because of those stupid wire beaters....I am going to look for a vintage Sunbeam with thenflat beaters. I bought a Cucina Roma Hand mixer becauseit had flat beaters...its a piece of Chinese Junk

Thanks JJLet me know how you like the A10.Now the question is, how are you grinding your beans? I have a Baratza Vario and I am also very happy with it. Occasionally grinds will stick in the basket due to static, but overall pretty rock solid. They have the new Vario that doses by weight; wish I had it. When I use my Chemex or Hario pour overs, I weigh out the beans and water. If you haven't tried a pour over, it's an inexpensive investment which brews excellent coffee.Happy brewing my friend...

Hi all,Don't feel too bad about prices for your KitchenAid Artisan mixer in the States. I bought my wife the Empire Red one here in Australia for Christmas and it was A$730 (about US$645 at today's exchange rate). They used to be more expensive! Fantastic machine........I just wish they were a bit cheaper here!!!

I see not difference. I sure like mine. Consider yourself luck as the price drops over time. Mostly likely do to lack of sales.Take the savings and stock up on glue and wood fialler. You are set. Have fun.

I never had the R200, so i cant answer that. I have a pro model the Studio Pro 3880, & occaisionally i have to do a quick print on the Artisan 50, & you can't easily tell the difference.
