I've got to chat with a neighbor. I know last year she was searching for a new mixer and finally thought she'd gotten her best deal at Kohls although she had to settle for a color she really didn't love. I'm pretty sure she ended up returning that mixer.
Just as an aside, for lots of things I love saving money, but if I'm going to use something for years and years or wear it everyday, like my eyeglasses, I don't buy the very cheapest thing I can find. I might not end up buying the most expensive, but I do spend extra to get something I really want!
I own a cinnamon red KA mixer from a few years ago. I love it, and I really like not wanting to hide it after every use because I'm not in love with it.
