I bought KitchenAid Artisan Design Mixer because I wanted the glass bowl. It looked great on a countertop. The bowl was beautiful!!!! I loved it!!! I was very careful with it. I did not want to break it. It did not have any cracks. The bowls broke into a few pieces when I I used the mixer. I cut my finer with the glass. It was a big mess.I was shocked. I did not expect it. I am very disappointed since the new bowl is expensive. The glass bowl should be great quality. It should not break so easily.
