I purchased this mini 3.5 qt. artisan stand mixer from Kitchenaid and am glad I did.  It is just the right size for two of us and still makes a big batch of cookies.  And it can accommodate any of the accessories that the 5 qt. mixer holds and what I really love about it is the handle on the bowl. It makes it so much easier to remove the bowl from the stand.  Absolutely love this mixer! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
