I was walking through Williams Sonoma yesterday.. and There was the prettiest little pink kitchenAid sitting there.. I just had to pet it!!! Then I came home and petted mine too!

i ordered my KA last week online and was checking its shipping location religiously... that is until my boyfriend changed the password on the account because i was scaring him. hehe. i'm just so excited to get it though, it's the bright pink color (cranberry).

I have a sunbeam DH baught me years ago. Works great for the reg. stuff but, I really would love to upgrade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially for all those batches and batches of BC.

I am still in love with the KA in my local shop!!! But i am buying one in june!!
i told my DH i want it for my birthday (he doesn't understand this, told me he thought it stupid to give me a mixer for my birthday )
Good luck with you KA!!!

i hug my KA, too!

I'm glad to see there's so many kitchenaid lovers out there!!! LOL!!!

I just had to tell my DH about this thread.....he kept asking me why I was laughing.....and he kinda gave me a weird look when I said that some people pet their KA's!!!

Poor guy,he just doesn't understand, LOL!

Oh, by the way, does anyone want to buy a sunbeam???? LOL It's been replaced by my KA!

I am just dieing to get a KA; and now that I killed my hand beater it may happen. I found a top professional model (#6 or something like that) at a small store near where I camp for only $349!!! Now I know these go for $499 at the department stores..............and now that I have refinanced my house and have some cash, guess who is getting this mixer? LOL!!

deb

hehehe Crazy for Kitchen Aid !!!!!!!

Peachshortcake - hang in there and keep
begging and crying it is worth it

My husband got my KA for me for a Christmas present...
You would have thought he got me Diamonds by my reaction !!!
heheheheh

i just got my kitchenaid like half an hour ago. hehehe. it is sooooooooooooooo pretty. can't wait to use it.

Woo hoo!!! Did you take pics & pet it?? LOL!

Does anyone have the copper colored KA mixer? I'm in love with it! Just so puuurrity! I have an almond colored one, but when I upgrade to a bigger size, might have to go copper!

Wow! I'd never really looked at the copper one....it is pretty! I just have white!

OOOhh, the satisfaction of the KA, is almost a good substitution for the chocolate we crave...... I guess that would be because it is the anticipation of the baked chocolate product we bake to give into our desires(some might call that forplay) LOL

Oh my hubby just bought me one on Saturday! Our 10th anniversary is this summer so I started dropping hints now, but he decided not to wait! In the model I wanted, the Professional 5 Plus, they only had a couple of colors, so hubby played it safe and brought home white, but its still the prettiest thing I ever saw

I love my KA too... My husband bought it for me 3 years ago, and it is the gift that I use more than any other. Here it is... BTW, I just made a batch of brownies, so the bowl is in the dishwasher

OMG! You actually posted a pic........I was waiting for someone to do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You could have posted a pic of the bowl too..........we would have thought about the chocolate!!!!!!! MMMM MMMM

LOL....I can honestly say that I never took pictures of either of my KA but I sure do love my KA mixers also!! Enjoy!!

Hello all

I've been reading the comments on the mixers. I question is why is it so much better than Sumbeam when the ones that I've compared the Sunbeam have 350 watts and the KA has 250 and the paddle, but least features.

The Sunbeam cost less.

Thank you,
DeeDee44

I have both, a sunbeam and a kitchen aid........the paddle really makes a HUGE difference!!!!!! I agree with you.....they're so expensive!!!!!!!!!

My sunbeam even came with 2 bowls and I paid a
lot less for it than my KA, but it doesn't have a paddle.

There are different sizes of the KA.

The factory where the KA's are made is only about 1 hour away from my house. I have heard that you can go there and "build" your own. They help you assemble your own. I so wanted to do that. It was so hard to choose a color. I really wanted the pink one, but the metallic chrome one matches my kitchen much better. Now when ever I go to the store, I stare at the other colors. I almost want one in each color, like shoes!! I do need to start gettingthe other attachements, but I think I will start with a second bowl and a second paddle.

I had the same color delimma also. I wanted a pink one also, but ended up buying a blue one because it matched my kitchen colors better. Sometimes being practical is no fun! Like my teenage daughter says about shoes, I think this quote works for the KA also...."If the shoe fits, buy it in every color!"

I love my KA scrub it clean after every use...it was the best gift my partners parents ever gave me opps I mean her......lol I thank them often...for my KA opps her KA.....LOL....have fun creating with your new KA..........MC

Ok Guys, I'm new here and I hope this is ok....
I have a KA....and I love it....and it has served me well for many years....but 2 years ago I got a Bosch.....it is the best investment I have ever made. It can easily do 3 batch's of buttercream at one time. I use it for bread as well....it can take 20cups of flour with no problem. It does not take up much more room than the KA ....and it just does an incredible job. The lady who told me about them baked 100 loaves of bread every week for about 10 years....her machine was 20 years old and she still did bread with it. Just wanted to share......

OMG that's huge!!!! sorry guys... lol. I agree with the pp's that sometimes when I am looking at them in the store I think I want one in every color. Maybe grape next.

I also loved my Kitchen Aid. I received it almost five years ago as a christmas gift. This year since I wanted something with a larger capacity but still big enough to fit on my counter, I decided to purchase a 7 quart delonghi mixer. Its relatively new and so far no complaints, just having 2nd thoughts if I should've opted for the 6 Qt Kitchen Aid.

I have the Kitchen Aid 6 qt. Bought it for myself as a christmas present. Love it!! I don't like how it shakes though. And, the paddle totally turned color on me. But otherwise, its great!!

Perhaps a silly question but what size capacity do you need to be able to mix 2 cake mixes or 2 cake recipes at a time? I have an older kitchen aid but I have to do each cake mix separately.

I do 2 mixes at a time in the 6qt.
