Make SURE your model number is in the model numbers list in the product description above-the models there are NOT for the 5 quart ARTISAN.I have both 5 quart mixers, a Kitchenaid KSM5 made by Kitchenaid/Hobart and a Kitchenaid Artisan, made by Whirlpool.

The 5 quart bowls look very similar but you can't hook the bowls onto the other mixer because the diameter of the bowls aren't the same. The beaters and hooks also aren't interchangeable.

S.Devereaux, a previous reviewer stated that "According to KitchenAid Customer Service these are for a discontinued bowl. The correct model number for the current 5qt bowl is KNBC." However, if you look up that model number the description is for the 6 quart mixer.

Nevertheless, since the model numbers that these lids fit are listed in the product description and they do fit my old mixer which is on the list and are as described, they have to get my 5 stars despite their dismal ratings.

I thought the picture showed an open center in the lid, so I could leave my beater attached to the mixer while covering both the bowl and mixer. However, it came without the open center, so I have to remove the mixer. It works, but just isn't what I expected or really wanted.

I have a 5 quart bowl, these are five quart lids, Simple? No, not really. They don't fit.
Great Frisbee's though.

I concur with the others, these do not fit the Artisan mixer. I did a lot of research on line, including with KitchenAid, to be told that this lid fit my mixing bowls.
It does not.

I guess I should have read the printed description better. When I saw these on Amazon they appeared to be more of a splash cover for the Kitchenaid stand mixer bowls, the image appeared to have a hole in the center, thus I thought it would be like the bowl cover for my hand mixer bowl I ordered through the Pampered Chef. I thought the lid could be placed on the bowl and the beater could go through the center hole and thus prevent splashing. No such luck, no hole in the middle and even if I adapted it and cut the plastic away from the indented center, the blade would not turn as it should. So now I have lids to put on the bowl to keep dirt and dust out!
