KitchenAid 4.8 Litre ARTISAN STAND MIXER 5KSM125 (Onyx Black)

I’ve been using the KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer 5KSM125BCU in Contour Silver for several weeks now, and it has completely transformed my baking experience. The build quality feels incredibly premium with its solid metal construction, and the mixer looks stunning on the kitchen counter. The stainless steel bowl is the perfect size for everything from cake batter to bread dough, and the planetary mixing action ensures ingredients are mixed evenly every time. I especially love how quiet and stable it is, even when kneading heavier doughs. The included whisk, dough hook, and flat beater cover pretty much everything I need, and switching attachments is simple and quick. The tilt-head design also makes adding ingredients really convenient while mixing. What impressed me most is the consistency — whipped cream turns out perfectly fluffy, dough kneads beautifully, and cake mixtures come together effortlessly. It genuinely makes baking easier and more enjoyable. The quality, performance, and timeless design make this mixer worth every penny. Highly recommended for anyone who loves baking or wants a reliable kitchen appliance that will last for years.

Best stand mixer I've had. There are multiple mixer attachments you can add on, and its power makes easy work of tough dough. Although it is heavy, it's built well and will last you for life.

This is most amazing stand aid. It's beautifully presented and sturdy. Mixes ingredients perfectly. Easy to use and clean. It lives up to expectations having read lots of reviews . The price had always put me off, but having had cheaper models, this is far superior and I'm glad I finally went for it. I'm sure it's going to last years and years.

Have baked cakes so many times with this mixer already and couldn’t find any fault. It’s well built, very stable, stays in one place, does not vibrate when on. It’s heavy, but with aid of a sliding mat (purchased separately), maneuvering it is way easy. It may be expensive but it’s worth it. It has a nice place on our countertop.

Great sturdy machine. A piece of kitchen artistry.

Kitchenaid has a reputation for a reason. They're not cheap but what you get for the money is an outstanding product that will last a lifetime. I would genuinely argue that a Kitchenaid is a necessity for anyone who enjoys cooking or baking and would recommend it to everyone. The first thing I noticed when opening the box of the Kitchenaid was just how heavy everything is. Weight is usually an indicator of quality and I think it's to be expected that the Kitchenaid mixer itself would be pretty heavy. The motor is capable of spinning at a very high speed and if the mixer was lightweight it would risk toppling over when spinning so fast. As the mixer is a heavy unit, this isn't a problem even at the highest setting. Not only is the mixer heavy but everything that comes with it is also fairly weighty for the size. The three attachments (dough hook, wire whisk and flat beater) are all solid metal with the dough hook and flat beater having an enamelled finish. I can't think of any reasonable usage that would result in any of these attachments wearing out or snapping. The metalic mixing bowl comes attached, it twists into the mixer and is very sturdy. Again fairly heavy and solid metal. In terms of performance I have used it for a number of bakes and have found all three included attachments make light work of their designated task, whether it be kneading dough or whisking egg whites into a meringue. I know this is the most important aspect but there isn't really much more to add here, it's top class and that's all there really is to say. I really like the matte black finish, it looks stylish and is a very versatile colour which I think will suit all different types of kitchen. It cleans nicely and fingerprints are easy to wipe away which is generally the biggest concern with matte colours. For the price I think it would be a shame to have this packed away in the box or a cupboard until use, let it take pride of place on the kitchen worktop. The Kitchenaid also has the unique feature of being able to plug in various different attachments into the front of the mixer which then utilises the Kitchenaid's motor to work. For example, you can get a pasta roller, meat grinder, vegetable spiraliser and many more. There should be a leaflet in the box which shows all the available attachments, if not search online. They don't come cheap but are high quality with the added benefit of taking up less storage space than their standalone equivalent. If you're a keen home cook I'm sure you'll benefit from this greatly. If you found my review helpful please let me know by hitting the button below. Cheers

My review is split into the following sections: Durability, Smell, Ease of Cleaning, Size, Colour, Looks, Final thoughts Durability: This is my 2nd unit - the first I had to send back as the base of the mixer-bowl was not holding in the screw-thread of the mixer unit. So, when mixing something in the bowl and attaching to the base, the bowl eventually became loose and completely useless. So, in terms of durability, I am testing this 2nd unit to see if this one will last. Ease of Cleaning & Smell: The mixer, just like any other mixers, is fairly easy to clean and use, with little or no residue or smell. Size & Weight: The of the unit is quite big (my KitchenAid was the 4.8l model) an occupies a decent amount of space on the kitchen counter. However, the size if the device is more of an issue which means it is not very easy to move around the kitchen, as it weight around 10kg. Colour & available colours & Looks: I like the look and colour of the device as it looks very aesthetically pleasing and feels well designed in terms of it form. Functionality, the item works well aside of the issue pointed out above in terms of the bowl becoming loose. The item was available in a variety of colours but the Almond one looked most pleasing to us. Final thoughts: The mixer looks nice, costs a lot of money and is supposed to be long lasting. Just holding my breath on how long this unit will last, hence the 4-stars instead of 5.

KitchenAid have done it again. I bought this to replace my Kenwood A901 and I would absolutely do it again, 10 times over. A stunning bit of kit for any keen baker or chef looking to save time (I've saved hours on stretch and folds with this thing) or keep their hands clean. The Artisan is the perfect size for smaller counter tops, unintrusive and absolutely will not be moving- this thing is HEAVY in all the right ways. The mixer itself wipes down in seconds and the attachments clean quickly with a quick scrub in warm water. Everything I've baked, cooked or whipped up has been near perfect every time. Though pricey, the Artisan genuinely feels like it will last forever and if you are able, I 100% recommend purchasing this.

perfect dough machine. you can do whatever u want to. too much accessory options.

This mixer was bought all in good faith for my daughter who lives 10,000 miles away from me. I ordered it from Amazon au and it arrived all in good time but it has a UK plug on it? Absolutely amazed when I bought it from amazons Australian website you’d have thought it was set up for Australian use. You might think what’s all the fuss about when all is needed is an adapter plug BUT lo and behold it says do not use with an adapter!!! I would like a suggestion please as to what to do. This is an expensive mixer so I am very disappointed and unhappy. Nowhere does it say in the details that this is for Uk market. So please watch out if you are buying for Australia from Amazon au.

It’s missing the whisk tool which as listed in the included components!

As expected, great quality!
