Burnished Metal Flat Beater and Dough Hook?
If the Burnished Metal Flat Beater and Dough Hook are what you want, maybe you will be disappointed.
I don’t know if the Flat Beater and Dough Hook used to be Burnished Aluminium or not, but when I wrote this post on May 20,2020, they probably are NOT metal, just Coated in a color resembling burnished metal. On Kitchenaid official site, the product information also shows that the attachments are coated. Below is a screen shot of the info:
If you find the flat beater and dough hook included in KSM155GB are advertised as “Burnished Aluminium”, please double check it. And you’d better contact the seller to confirm it. Or it could be a waste of time and effort – buy then return.
Artisan KSM150 or KSM155GB, which one to buy?
Some people may like the glass bowl since it makes the mixer look better.
But I personally prefer the stainless bowl, because it obviously is sturdier than a glass bowl.
A glass bowl is easier to chip and break.
The KSM150 has a large range of colors you can choose from while the KSM155GB has less color options. KSM155GBAZ is Azure Blue, KSM155GBCA is Candy Apple Red, KSM155GBSR is Sugar Pearl Silver, KSM155GBFP is Frosted Pearl White, KSM155GBSP is Silk Pink in color, all of the KSM155GB models come with the same accessories.
