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.

thank you for posting. I had the same question about how the classic compares to the ultra, in considering it as a christmas gift for my husband. this was exactly what I needed! The Ultra, it is!

I have been having the same problem with the Artisan 800. As I type this I am waiting to speak to someone in Customer Relations at Epson's HQ to register a major complaint about the 800's ink disappearance. This was obviously a design flaw which may very well prevent me from considering an Epson Printer in the future. I'd be interested, too if they did anything to fix the ink consumption process on the newer 810 which looks essentially the same as the 800.

I don't have the gold, but I've researched it and they both seem like top-flight machines. My Pro is fantastic and I have a blast with it. It boils down to what you're looking for and how detailed a machine you want. The Pro is very detail oriented. The Gold, from what I've seen of people using it, is a very focused, get in and go machine. Not the answer you were hoping for, I'm sure, but it's the best I've got. This is a great hobby and however you may start you will find the right machine for your needs over time.

I replaced 2 15 year old models in my restaurant with one new one - they have run everyday for 15 yrs! Sold them and paid for a new model - never had a problem - runs like a champ. Don't know anything about the other model in question.

They appear to have the same features. It looks like it could be a new label for a newer model. I have the wine colored one and I love it. I would recommend it to anyone.

Not sure. 750 is the artisan series only sold by higher end kitchen stores. Has better book by the actual chef and the biggest 2.2 HP motor as well as 40% quieter than older versions.

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 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!

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?

Yes, ma'am, it will. Kitchen Aid gives different model numbers for things like the accessories that came with the mixer, the color, and whether it's been refurbished. so don't worry about that. Don't even worry whether it's made for Classic Plus or Ultra Power. The CP had 275 watts, the UP had 300 watts, and your Artisan has 325 watts of power, but they all use the same attachments and accessories.They redesigned the dough hook at one point, and this one kneads faster, but I think they ere shipping this model of dough hook before the Artisan came out. Kneading dough too much strengthens the gluten too much, and keeps the dough from rising. Yes, ma'am, it will.

I have an artisan 835 and have had no problems. I believe the refills are the same

Renaissance has a traditional hard handle. That is the one I have and I like it. The Genesis I believe has a soft rubberized feel to it. So it might have a better grip although the grip on the Renaissance feels just fine. It looks more contemporary and doesn't have a riveted handle. Just a smooth surface. I don't care for the look or feel of the Genesis. I once purchased knives with that kind of rubberized feeling and didn't like it. It felt cheap and seemed like it could wear out. Both knives have the same German steel blades so only the handles are different.

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.

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.

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...

The brewmasters kit comes with craft beer refills and the premium gold comes with standard beer refills. Craft beers are more like your microbrew beers, and standard beers would be more like your Miller, and Coors beers. The craft beers cost a little more. If you go to the Mr. beer website they will have more details. If you are just wanting to see if you are interested in the process of making your own beer I would go with the cheaper premium gold edition if you don't want the extra stuff, then if you like making your own beer you can order the craft refills. Hope this helps.
