What customers say about "Key Specs"

BODUM 11381-01US Bistro Electric Stand Mixer

This mixer has a lot of power ,even at the highest speed this mixer is rock steady
There have been a few people complaining about the mixer starting fast and then slowing down to the proper speed, I haven't seen any issue with this feature. I normally start my mixer on 1 and then up to 2 when my bread dough is ready.
Lots of power, I just need to experiment with the different speeds to get it right, but I do recommend.
The noisiest mixer i have ever come across. Very slow top speed. Takes forever to mix.
Speedup at start and during speed changes is disconcerting.

KitchenAid 5KSM150PSAC 5 Qt Artisan Stand Mixer, Not For USA

Powerful motor with plenty of low end torque to push through even the most binding of concoctions.
Ample range of mixing speeds. From as low as ---"stir" ---to as high as ---throw, mix, and spray everything out of the mixing bowl
It is so powerful, no problem with a double batch of heavy cookie dough or royal icing
The included flat beater, coated dough hook, 6-wire whip and 1-piece pouring shield are all well made and should last a long time.
The bowl and beaters are still solid, although the spatula beater and dough hook are a little dull.
I feel the 1st speed is too fast at times.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

BODUM 11381-01US Bistro Electric Stand Mixer

Lighter weight than a KitchenAid, requiring the use of suction cup feet to stay in position.
Durable but light weight

KitchenAid 5KSM150PSAC 5 Qt Artisan Stand Mixer, Not For USA

This thing is solid and works great. It has good weight to it so it doesn't move around and makes baking a breeze
Good weight, but not too heavy.
The motor is powerful and the weight of the mixer is good at keeping the machine stable even when mixing stiffer batters and doughs.
The only downfall is the weight. It's fairly heavy, so find a good spot for it in the kitchen, because you won't want to move it around much.
It's quite heavy and difficult to move, especially if it needs to be stored away.

What customers say about "Control"

BODUM 11381-01US Bistro Electric Stand Mixer

The power-position switch (the red switch on the side, no the on/off power switch that is at the rear) seems like it might be a bit delicate, but I think that's just because the dial itself is plastic--I really wish they had made that from stainless.
The rotary dial for speed does not move smoothly
I didn't like the turn dial off to the side as it made it hard to see what speed I needed
Continuous operations limited (recommendation by manufacture) to 5 minutes to avoid overheating. Kitchen aids do not have this issue.

KitchenAid 5KSM150PSAC 5 Qt Artisan Stand Mixer, Not For USA

Speed settings are great, you can mix dry ingredients slow and slowly crank up the speed once you know you won't send the powder flying
I love the very slowest setting to mix things together before zooming it.
There are two nobs on either side of the head, one for setting speed (10 speeds), and one for locking the head in place.
The motor and blades are strong enough to handle heavy dough and it has a full range of speed settings to handle mixing anything from a light sauce to heavy bread dough.
Even on the slowest setting, the beater will 'jump' and can make a mess if you don't have something thick or heavy in the bowl.

What customers say about "Details"

BODUM 11381-01US Bistro Electric Stand Mixer

This mixer is aesthetically pleasing and it really looks nice on a modern kitchen counter. I got the one in black but you can see it comes in several colors.
It does a great job with the basic functions - beating, whisking and kneading and is very similar to the KitchenAid in this regard
Cleaning the mixer is very easy and it wipes down nicely. It does not have any spots where food or flour seemed to stick.
Attachments were easy to install and remove from the mixer.
Mixing guard for the bowl -- the mixing guard fits very well and minimizes any mess
Limited tools -- dough hook, blades and whisk attachments
Smaller mixing bowl than on a Kitchen aid. This limits what you really do with the mixer.

KitchenAid 5KSM150PSAC 5 Qt Artisan Stand Mixer, Not For USA

The lock in design for the mixing bowl. Very easy to insert and remove and it holds the bowl in place solid.
Dough hook and flat beater attachments are covered in a easy-clean white nylon coating and are dishwasher safe
Kneads dough very well for my liking, my arms are so happy I don't have to knead
Comes with 3 different mixing tools, one works like a whisk, one is more of a dough hook, and the 3rd works best with thicker batters
The bowl is a good size and has never been too small for the recipes I've made
I wish they would make a 2nd shield just for protecting from spatter, the one it comes with has holes for adding dough, and doesn't fit all the way around, so I still get spatter sometimes which is a pain to clean
