Stand Mixers?

[Nhcris]

We have a kitchen aid mixer, we bought it about 10 yrs ago because WE HAD TO HAVE ONE lol. It's never been used but sure looks good sitting there.

See, that is what I am afraid of! Especially since the Kitchen Aid is so expensive!

I have a KA stand that is about 43 years old and a KA hand mixer about 10 years old. Love them both but don't use the stand like I did in the past. My hand mixer is like the one posted above. Also have an emersion that I use for small amounts of guacamole!

Sounds like Kitchen Aid is the way to go if I decide to get one. It is so hard to justify the cost, but maybe I will ask Santa....

You know its sad things are not made to the same standards stuff was 30-40 yrs ago . i mean i had a sunbeam toaster that ill bet was an ez 30 yrs old hell i replaced the cord on it once if not twice it still worked when i left it in my last apt . no we have the big K A 5qt mixer Donna used to do cookies for Christmas every year so she wanted the Mac daddy to get it all done fast . we allso have the same hand mixer that Clemi shows in her post . i want to say it wasn't much . Check out Wally world and see what they have .

You are so right Charlie! I am so sick of stuff breaking as soon as it's off warranty. You mean, like, actually go into Walmart???? I think I would rather mix everything with an egg beater!! Just kidding, although I almost never go into Walmart unless I am traveling. Hell, I hate shopping so much that I very rarely go to a brick and mortar store theses days unless it is a locally owned specialty place or I am entertaining and have to do it.

Add me to the KA stand mixer crew! We have a bunch of the attachments too. I used to use it more frequently and plan to focus on using it more this winter (haven’t made biscotti or sausage in years!)
Costco typically has deals on the KA mixer before the holidays so you might be able to snag it for cheaper!

I am not surprised you have one! You are actually more of a chef than a home cook! I am going to continue my research and may ask Santa Frank for one. I will definitely check out Costco. Other than car rental deals, I sometimes wonder why I even have a membership, so that would help justify it .
