Classic Vs Artisan: Hi can anybody tell me what is the difference between the classic model and the the Artisan model and which is better model ???

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.

Lorraine, I do not think that there is a whole lot of difference between the two models. I own the variable speed version and I happen to use it at the upper end of the speed scale most of the time. About the only time I've really needed to slow it down was when I was sanding some non kiln dried pine and found that the higher speads heated up the wood and the sap began to run (a lot). At the lower speads I was better able to sand the pine without having as much sap run and therefore clog the dandpaper. If you don't want to pay the premium for the variable, I'm pretty sure in day to day use you really won't see the difference. However, my opinion comes from a hobbyist woodworker.

Although I have the Artisan 837, the 835 sounds like it has the same problems. I have had the 837 for about 6 months and have done nothing but sing its praises but I started doing Christmas cards late this year and was appalled to find that it was impossible to do card stock reliably unless I put in one sheet at a time - then I couldn't feed without opening the drawer each time due to the awkward feed mechanism. Support had only one answer. Use premium matte paper setting. That's ok for one at a time. Took two full days of priniting. Epson should update these printers keeping the high quality options (6 inks etc) but improving the paper feed. This is a major drawback not readily apparent on purchase.

Does anyone know the difference between the Nespresso Essenza C101 Espresso Maker and the Nespresso C100T Essenza Single-Serve Automatic Espresso Machine? Besides the price, what's the difference between the two?

There seems to be no difference so go with price. Please note that neither model has a cutting blade, if that is important to you.

The newer mcp has a different handle and that is the way to differentiate between the two. I know very little about the product other than that. I do know that I purchases the original mcp when it first came out. I love the product so much that I bought sets for my mom and both adult sons. The older version si probably so evpensive because it is on par with other professional cookware.

I did some googling and see what your version looks like. I think you do have the new version. Mine looks exactly like the one in the picture. My understanding is that this model was discontinued, so maybe what happened is they brought it back again and changed the appearance slightly. For what it's worth, I think this is my #1 favorite tool in my woodworking shop. Solid, reliable, and fits perfectly in the hand. I'd be curious to know if there are any functional differences between the old and new models.

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 will check that model out, thanks so much! (sorry I just saw your post today) :)

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.

I don't know about the R200, but I'd sure steer clear of the Artisan 50. I set it up and ran exactly 3 prints, one in color, and sent it back. Color was poor and the machine was amazingly noisy for such a small printer. Even noisy in b&w. And, it took forever to get one print out of it.

Someone here stated (in answering "Should I get the Classic or the Professional? What are the differences? "... that the "Classic is flat on the bottom and the Professional has ridges" ... that " the ridges on the Professional would make it almost impossible to fry eggs without breaking the yolk". However, all ad photos of the Professional show a perfectly flat interior. Additionally, a reviewer on Amazon has photos posted showing the flat interior ... and the exterior bottom which has an integrated disc. Seems many reviewers are frying eggs perfectly on the flat interior surface. Someone here stated (in answering "Should I get the Classic or the Professional? What are the differences?

To be honest I don't know what differences there are between the models. But what I can tell you is that I am very happy with my purchase. I used it to make a wedding cake last March. It handled the 14 inch round 4 inch high cake with no problems. I would buy this cake stand agian in a heart beat. Sorry I can't be anymore help then that. :)

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 black one (classic) is a much less sturdy/rigid model--I would say it is made for those who cannot tolerate as much pressure/pain. the blue model is more hard/rigid/sturdy and therefore applies more pressure/force/pain when using. i purchased both and gave the black one to my wife. i do not know why the company uses different photos without explanation. if you ordered the classic, you will get the black one. marketers should have explained this--company mistake.

If you are referring to Vitamix, you can Google Vitamix VS Health Master Elite and get lots of info. All I know is that the Vitamix is much more expensive and I can't imagine it can be any better than the Health Master Elite - I use mine every day and love it. Make sure you get the Elite and not the original version.
