Your machine will work with the spiralizer.If your machine is still running I suggest not spending money on a new one.It might be pretty but it still does the same job.

I'm not buying, I don't need one.

But if I were, this is the one I would buy, with the lifted bowl.

I dont know what a spilizer is but I did hear her say all attachments will work

There's a lot of information provided when you go to the listing here on the website.

I have this mixer from a few years ago and love it. It is a powerhouse and I like it because I can mix 2 batches of cookies at a time. I would check pricing though, if you don't care about the color it looks like Amazon has some better deals.

All of the attachments will fit every Kitchen Aid mixer made from day one. My mixer is 35 years old and I use it daily. They don't seem to wear out.

I do not have the lifting bowl type and have never cared for that model. These mixers are heavy and take up a lot of space.

I would love a new mixer but my 20 year old basic, KA mixer is still going strong and can't justify a new one. I do have the spiralizer for it and it fits and works very well. I don't use it much tho, but glad I have it when I do need it. I love the chanpagne color---they should use that color on new appliances---but my last huge splurge was a new Vitamix this past Valentines Day. I'm good for awhile.

I ordered the TSV in the light blue color. I have the 5 1/2 quart size in majestic yellow, but I needed the larger one, because everytime I make bread dough, I was having to stop the mixer and push the dough down, as it was hitting the top of the mixer where the blade attaches and going over the top of the bowl. I am really looking to making bread dough with the 6 qt size.

@saltysails Be sure the one you buy has the spiral dough hook to keep this from happening! It isn't just the mixer, but the ones that use the spiral dough hook. I know from experience the spiral hook REALLY does help keep this from happening.

If you bake a lot and enjoy it, it is the best $400 you will spend! These machines are a joy to use, beautiful to look at, and make such great bread in far less time and less cleanup. AND they can make a lot at one time--a real plus if you are stressed for finding time to bake or feed a lot of people.

If it isn't for you fine, but for so many of us it is a great tool, a pretty item for our counters, and a REALLY fun toy!

I do use the spiral dough hook and it was still happening for me. It was a recipe that called for 10 cups of flour to make two loaves. It was so frustrating to keep stopping the machine to push the dough down.

@wagirl- I'd LOVE to have appliances that color. Who can we beg to do that?

I wish I could get this! I do love my white standard KA, but this is a magnificent machine. Congrats Saltysails!

violann--I don't know but can you imagine how lovely that would be? I am not a fan of stainless and bored with the black, white etc. But I do like the black stainless I've seen. I have the bone color appliances-----boring!!!!!!

I just wanted to say, I saw that spiralizer theyre selling for 89 dollars, at Target today for 79 dollars.

PS I love my Kitchen Aid but it was not the price of this one. Mine was under 300 when I got it from Q and it came with the same attachements and glass bowl. Of course its probably a different model but its still amazing.

I wish I could have bought a KA mixer when I was first married years ago. It would have been used more often then than it does now. My husband uses it more than I do. He would prefer to have one that doesn't have the bowl lift feature. We will not be getting a new mixer at this point in our life. It is to heavy for me to move so it sits on the counter.

My mother, who's 80, still has HER mother's Kitchen Aid stand mixer from the 30s or 40s!

It's a sound investment!
