KitchenAid KSM150PSGC Artisan Series 5 Qt Stand Mixer with Pouring Shield, Gloss Cinnamon Review (2026)

What This Mixer Includes

The KSM150PSGC is KitchenAid's Artisan Series 5 quart tilt head stand mixer in a Gloss Cinnamon finish, running on 120 volts with 10 speed settings and a dishwasher safe stainless steel bowl, according to KitchenAid's own product listing. It ships with a wire whip, dough hook, and flat beater, along with a pouring shield designed to reduce splatter and make it easier to add ingredients while the mixer is running. KitchenAid states the bowl can mix dough for up to four loaves of bread or nine dozen cookies in a single batch, which covers typical home sourdough and enriched dough recipes.

Mixing Action and Bread Dough

KitchenAid describes the mixer's 59 point planetary mixing action, where the beater spins on its own axis while also moving around the bowl, as designed to reach nearly every point in the bowl for thorough, even mixing. For sourdough work, the dough hook attachment does the kneading that would otherwise be done by hand, and the tilt head design makes it simple to lift the head up to check dough consistency or scrape down the bowl mid mix without removing the whole bowl from its base. Ten speed settings give enough range to move from a slow initial flour and water combine up to faster speeds for whipping cream or egg whites in other recipes.

Living With the Gloss Cinnamon Finish

The Gloss Cinnamon color gives a warm, rich look on the counter, a step up visually from the plainer white or standard silver finishes KitchenAid also sells. A glossy finish like this one tends to show fingerprints, flour dust, and smudges more readily than a matte or brushed finish, so it asks for a bit more wiping down to stay looking clean between bakes. The mixer's base is also on the heavy side for its footprint, which makes it more of a countertop fixture than something meant to be moved in and out of a cabinet before and after each use. A dedicated spot on the counter near an outlet is the most practical long term setup for this mixer.

How It Ranks Against Other KitchenAid Colors and Mixers

In the site's stand mixer guide, this Gloss Cinnamon model ranks fourth of eight, just behind the Aqua Sky version of the same Artisan mixer and the standard white KSM150PS, with all three sharing the identical motor, bowl size, and mixing action. The main differences between these Artisan color variants come down to finish and occasional small pricing differences rather than performance, so the ranking gap reflects marginal factors more than functional ones. Bakers who want more raw mixing capacity for very large batches should still look toward the bowl lift Pro 600 ranked higher in the same guide.

Verdict

At a score of 8.4 out of 10, this mixer performs identically to other Artisan tilt head models in this size class, with the Gloss Cinnamon finish being the main reason to pick it over a plainer color at a similar price. It suits a baker who wants a warm, distinctive counter appliance and does not mind the extra wiping a glossy surface asks for. Anyone choosing between the various Artisan colors on the site should treat the decision mostly as a style preference, since the mixing performance underneath stays the same across the lineup.
