The Artisan’s design is straightforward and user-friendly. There’s a pace management lever on the left, a swap to lock the top down on the fitting, and an influence hub for additional equipment within the entrance. Many mixers will lock the top in place when it’s tilted up in addition to when it’s down and positioned to combine, however the Artisan doesn’t. This initially involved us, however we’ve by no means truly had the top come crashing down on us. In the meantime, we discovered the mixers that did lock the top upright, just like the Cuisinart Precision Grasp, inconvenient. You want each palms to work the mechanism: one to press the discharge button, the opposite to concurrently elevate or decrease the top. It sounds minor, however when you’ve gotten a bowl of dry substances in your hand, it’s annoying to should set it apart to place the mixer in place.
