We have the Kitchen aid 5 quart Artisan mixer. It is a tilt head. My girls bake a lot of cookies and my daughter is actually selling them over the holidays.

I can tell you one thing DO NOT give them your email address. They are like the mafia. I have unsubscribed and unsubscribed. I finally marked it as spam.

Make sure that you get the biggest motor that you can. The newer mixers are underpowered and you can burn up a motor pretty easily if the motor is too small. I learned that the hard way.

I lean the other way. I've had both, and prefer the tilt.

The wife has had both. She liked the lift as well. She had trouble adding ingredients with the tilt style while it was mixing. She's had it around 15 years and it runs great and is used a couple times a week. And even more around the holidays. They are definitely a top tier mixer. Just don't store on top of refrigerator if your wife is short. You'll have to be getting that heavy thing down for her every time she needs it.

Years ago the lift was the heavy duty model and the tilt was the light duty.

26 years ago my wife wanted a mixer. After much research, I got her a lift Kitchenaid, and it is still going strong. She uses it all the time, and I made a custom. pull out cabinet for it so I didn't have to drag it out every week.

I make pretty good mashed potatoes with mine. Put the cooked potatoes in the bowl using the wire whisk. As the mixer is breaking them down, add 1/2 stick melted butter. Then 1/3 cup warmed whipping cream. Let mix, then speed it up and let it fluff up the potatoes. Good stuff!

I have my grandfather's mixer he bought at Sears in 1986 I got the receipt too. I dont use it much but will never get rid of it. I like that the newest attachments still work with the old mixers. It's a tilt head. If I had to choose one I would get a bowl lift only because you can ease the bowl up to the mixer
