Kitchen Aid mixers

Don't care for them, myself, but, looking at the pink wonder why they didn't give it a glossy shine ?

Looks chalky. Other colors are prettier.

My KA mixer is over 40 yers old. It works just fine. I love the new colors and it is tempting, but I will live with my almond color vintage model.

i suppose I could get my DH to paint my mixer a fun color. He is an ace and professional at painting cars. Hmmmm. Something to think about.

@SharkE Not a fan of the matt finish either. I guess the reason for the matt finish would be it not showing fingerprints. I have a red KitchenAid mixer on my counter all the time. I really like to end my baking by cleaning up the mixer and seeing it shine. Then I can enjoy the cookies!

@Carmie : Please keep your vintage mixer because it was made with sturdy parts and no plastic junk.😊

Funny how everyone's preferences are different. I love the pink one and if I didn't already have a kitchenaid mixer I would have definitely ordered at first presentation. I really like that powdery look.

@Carmie- My almond mixer is over 40 yrs. old and works just fine. It is a 4 1/2 qt. and the bowl did not have a handle. I was watching America's Test Kitchen and they reviewed the 4 1/2 qt. mixer as their preferred mixer. I noticed they use the 5qt. bowl in their presentations. I bought the 5 qt. stainless bowl and the flexedge beater and they work great on my mixer. Regarding the new colors, they are pretty but I just can't justify the expense. You can get colorful designer decals (look online) to add color.

@WORKING GAL I also bought a new bigger bowl with a handle for my mixer. At Christmas baking time, I use both SS bowls. I have attachments for pasta and another one to chop and cut that fits on top. Almost forgot, I have the sifter too.

I have two wire whip beaters and two white flat beaters....I don't have the flex edge beater, but I am thinking about it.

@SharkE - It looks like QVC isn't offering it this time, but have you seen the new hibiscus color that debuted this year? Available in the stand mixer and blender...

I love my Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer and mine is in white. The first one I purchased was red and I loved it for awhile but woke up one day and didn't want red in my kitchen anymore. I had to learn the hard way.

Seriously! It's giving mixer-but-fashion vibes1

@loriqvc do you know where it is available other then kitchen aid dot com ?

Re: Kitchen Aid mixers

loriqvc — Thu, 30 Mar 2023 00:30:05 GMT

@SharkE - It looks like the mixer and blender are also available at Williams-Sonoma and Crate & Barrel, at least online. Sometimes the "color of the year" items are set up as exclusives at a few retailers for a few months but then offered more broadly later in the year. Perhaps you'll be able to find one to gaze upon at a store near you soon...

A few years ago QVC had a TSV featuring Kitchen Aid tilt back, w glass bowl and flex edge beater bowl cover like today and the rest. Crazy good sale price $249 5 qt. Bowl

It was an Artisan style but labeled Deluxe and the colors were gorgeous with lots of glossy and frosty colors. It took me all day to decide. I bought the Ice Raspberry. I love it. My home is styled in jewel colors and white kitchen cabinets.

The othe one i was looking at i believe was Sea Glass...so pretty. Ive never seen some of the colors from that day again except at Kitchen Aid dot com. Mine is actually shineyer and bright than the pic below shows

I ended up buying an extra bowl for the one time a year i bake cookies at the holidays so i can have more production faster.

Neener neener @SharkE lol

The one they are presenting today is all metal construction. The only thing plastic is the lid. They just said the exactly on air

ROFLMAO @LizzieInSRQ yours is pretty, but, that Hibiscus is out of this world. They took off 25 when I added to cart just for the fun of it for signing up with them. Total of 514.

I got a big Cuisinart don't even use, I just like the color of this one with my red SMEG would be really pretty.

Have to give away or try to get something for the Cuisinart.

That's my favorite color and I like SS bowls better.

See if QVC gets it in they will have the best price.

I sent them a message. LOL

Re: Kitchen Aid mixers

SharkE — Thu, 30 Mar 2023 14:40:31 GMT

of course QVC said just keep checking. Over at Crate and Barrel they take 50 off for signing up I got the price down to 487, but, really don't need 2 full stand mixers for

one person. Maybe once a yr when I"m cooking for church get togethers is all.

Just see how my money goes this yr have to have my house trim painted.

I had an Oster Kitchen Center that I received as a bridal shower gift from my Grandma. I've been married for 45 years and I got rid of it a few years ago and got a Kitchen Aid. Eh it's alright. I preferred my Oster.
