A $700 Kitchen Tool That's Meant to Be Seen, Not Used
Briefly

KitchenAid's Artisan Design Series Stand Mixer, featuring a wooden bowl, is marketed as a beautiful appliance that connects users to nature, despite potential drawbacks in practicality.
While wood is an exceptional material with historical significance, its limitations in moisture and maintenance make it less suitable for kitchen use compared to ceramic or metal.
KitchenAid's marketing emphasizes the aesthetic appeal of the wooden bowl mixing experience, promoting a sense of connection to nature and simplicity, overshadowing the practical concerns.
The wooden bowl of the KitchenAid mixer requires careful handling, as it must be hand-washed and dried quickly, highlighting functional challenges not present in traditional materials.
