The Artisan model has a larger mixing bowl (5qt) with a handle on it, and a larger motor 350watts. Easier to use than the Classic due to the ergonomics of the bowl, less motor strain when mixing heavy doughs or large batches.

To be honest I don't know what differences there are between the models. But what I can tell you is that I am very happy with my purchase. I used it to make a wedding cake last March. It handled the 14 inch round 4 inch high cake with no problems. I would buy this cake stand agian in a heart beat. Sorry I can't be anymore help then that. :)

The difference is most likely going to be material quality. I use the Vermont American all the time and it does the job right on the spot, like a pro without it that has everything set into muscle memory. They look the same but one is going to last longer than the other, so go by the one that has better reviews by people.

I am not very savvy to the differences, so my choice was made based on the influence of people that do cleaning. Basically they said that the canister tends to have more sucction and that the upright model tends to break more often/easier. So far mine is doing well, but I confess my usage is minimum as I live alone.

Yes, ma'am, it will. Kitchen Aid gives different model numbers for things like the accessories that came with the mixer, the color, and whether it's been refurbished. so don't worry about that. Don't even worry whether it's made for Classic Plus or Ultra Power. The CP had 275 watts, the UP had 300 watts, and your Artisan has 325 watts of power, but they all use the same attachments and accessories.They redesigned the dough hook at one point, and this one kneads faster, but I think they ere shipping this model of dough hook before the Artisan came out. Kneading dough too much strengthens the gluten too much, and keeps the dough from rising. Yes, ma'am, it will.

Does anyone know the difference between the Nespresso Essenza C101 Espresso Maker and the Nespresso C100T Essenza Single-Serve Automatic Espresso Machine? Besides the price, what's the difference between the two?

The Classic is flat on the bottom and the Professional has ridges. So, it depends on what you want to cook. We like the Classic because you can fry the bacon and then the eggs on the same pan. The ridges on the Professional would make it almost impossible to fry eggs without breaking the yolk.

I'm not sure I know what a "classic" blender is?? but if it is the same Blender that they have made for years, YES and I love it. It grinds up everything. makes great smoothies.

I see not difference. I sure like mine. Consider yourself luck as the price drops over time. Mostly likely do to lack of sales.Take the savings and stock up on glue and wood fialler. You are set. Have fun.

If you are going to be making bread, go with the 600 lift-up bowl model, my Artisan can't really handle bread dough gracefully - it really struggles and makes such terrible noises it makes me anxious that it is going to die!

I have not done a comparison (I have the SF), but other than color and logo, they look the same. I have also seen them noted on woodturning forums as the same machine made in same factory.

I have the Artisan 810 and it is a major ink hog. Probably will return to HP and accept some of their flaws. At least the HP ink is a lot less expensive that the Epson. Too bad since in most other aspects, the 810 is a decent all in one unit.

There's a lot of discussion about the advantages of the old version in the Amazon user reviews of both versions. I bought the (more expensive) old version and am happy with it, but never tried the newer one for comparison.

Hi! I'm not exactly sure but I have this model and love it. The newest models appear in Sur La Table and are rectangular and bulky looking compared to this cylindrical model. If you care about aesthetics go for this one- it's great!

Well, thanks for trying. I hope they reply! I noticed they merged those two models with their description as well which makes it hard to figure out the differences. If you dont get a response I'll definitely try to call and find out.

I have had an MV650 for about 3 years now and have often pondered the differences to the MV500. I have come to the conclusion, after looking at various photos of both, that the only difference is more flaming of the maple on the back of the MV650, and perhaps a better overall finished result. I believe it is common for violin manufacturers to take a group of completed violins that are made from the same specifications, and the ones that come out the best are labeled as a better model with a higher price.
