1. It's a terrific price

I have this model. It's almost too big and powerful for my now much smaller empty nest.

It's a great machine!

2. Wasn't that one of the droids in the Jawa sand tank?

4. Depending on the color, their 325 watt Artisan are going for 199

W/ a $30 rebate, $170 before tax. If I had it, that would get me to buy. The Gloss Cinnamon looks nice!

5. Wow!

That's fantastic! I have an Artisan that does everything I need it to. That baby is great for a heavy duty user.

6. I have a 5 qt model and a 6 qt model

Occasionally I use mine pretty hard and I broke the 5 qt model so I bought a bigger one. There is a nylon gear that I sheared off, so it wasn't that hard to repair. I still keep the 5 qt model around as a backup, but I never use it anymore unless I need to take it somewhere. I'll probably give it to my daughter when she moves out.

For the vast majority of uses, the Artisan series is going to do everything most cooks are going to ask from it. For extruding pasta, I found the 5 qt model was a bit underpowered and that's how I sheared the gear off.

7. Ugh, it's too bad I just bought a new washer and dryer or I would

definitely pick one up!
