WOOHOO! I am on Cloud Nine! I got my first Kitchenaid for Christmas, it is the pink Artisan one and I love it! How have I lived before this????
My other little mixer, was one of those $30 ones, and it was about to explode.
What a difference!
Merry Christmas!

I'm so excited for you!!! And jealous!!! I dreamed that I woke up and had one but I didn't

Maybe next year! Congrats on yours! The pink one is my favorite also!

OMG! I DONT WANT TO STEAL YOUR LIGHT BUT MY MOM BOUGHT ME A RED HUGE KITCHEN AID, AND YESTERDAY SHE BOUGHT FOR ME, AND TOLD ME SHE WANTED ME TO LIVE MY DREAM. I CRIED! CONGRATS TO WHO EVER GOT ONE, AND I HOPE THEY FELT THE SAME LIKE I DID!!!! =) ,ERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!

yea! For all of us!
My little putt putt was on the brink of explosion! It would shake, get real hot, then when the smoking started, I knew it was time..
But wow! I made a batch of cookies, that usually I have to finish kneading it by hand, but this mixer just mixed it like nothing, plus no noise!
Cakegirl, I got a really good deal on it. and I HATE spending that type of money, but it was so worth it!
I went to Macys, it was regular $400, then they marked it to $300, but they had a $25 coupon, then an instant $20 rebate. Plus it was charged to my Macys card so I can pay it off. And I love the pink one, because they donate $50 of that to breast cancer.
You'll get one, it took me awhile, but I finally got one! I'll wish with you! And that is so sweet NVP! We will all get there! I've got a 2-3 year plan in mind to eventually open a bakery, just gotta keep focused.

Your lucky that yours doesn't make a sound. I have the KA Pro and it makes a screetchy sound everytime it's turned on!

I totally understand your excitement! I have been using a Wal-Mart special hand mixer for ever! This Year my parents, sister and brother in law bought me my first Kitchen-Aid! My sister gave it to me early so I could use it! I am in heaven.

Hope everyone is having a great Christmas and hope you all have a wonderful New Year!

Everlastingsweets~thanks! I may have to breakdown and get one myself! I do hate spending that much money at once but I know it would be worth it! I will have to check out the Macy's here. Thanks again!

cakegirl,
it's completely different when you are baking with one. I make that No Fail Sugar recipe in there, and it's mixed in about 3 minutes, compared to about 10 before. And it's made my life so much easier.
Trust me, I WINCED at the price, but my husband was the one who said you just need to get one and it'll pay itself off. And sure enough, last Thursday, I got an order for 24 dozen cookies, made $275 dollars, and I've paid it off!
You just need to watch the sales, Macys sent me that $25 coupon in one of the circulars, and if you go online to Macys.com, look at the KA's and online is where they show the rebates on them when they are offering them, plus sometimes online, you get free attachments or bonus money off.

Yay for us! No more $10 walmart hand mixer!

hey guys, i feel the same way! i just got mine and it makes such a difference. just to let everyone know, we got mine from amazon.com. it's refurbished from the factory, but a 5 qt. 325 watt! usually over $300, we got it for $144 including tax and shipping! amazing, works great and has a 1 yr warranty too! just an fyi, merry christmas

everlastingsweets~ Thanks for great info and wow that's a lot of cookies! I love cookies but just don't have the patience to make them...only eating them!

OMG! Jwong! What a deal!!! Wish I would've seen that, I just didn't have the extra cash, so I had to charge it.
Oh well! I have a KITCHENAID!
And to all...a good night!
Talk to ya'll later!

I got a red artisan also. My husband gave it to me early because I was making 5 dozen cookies for a Santa thing for underprivileged children whose parents come to the food pantry my parents volunteer at and I had 2 coconut cakes and 2 butter pecan cakes to make for Christmas parties. It is my first KA and I don't know how I lived without it! Hope you all enjoy yours as much as I do mine. And hope you all had a Merry Xmas!

I got the KA Pro at Tuesday Morning for $299.I don't know how I lived without it.I would tell anyone,if there is any way you could get one now..do it.It is such a big difference.

Jwong...
My hubby was browsing on Amazon one day and saw the refurbished ones. He knew I wanted one, but would never buy it because of the cost. e knew it was a super deal, so he bought it for me just because.

I has worked perfect! I would do it again in a heartbeat!

You will love it and wonder how you ever got along without one.

erin, how sweet your husband is lol! yep, i would do it over again and again, b/c we saved on that i was able to get my airbrush as my other gift too hehe! yay!

I was not fortunate enough to get a KA but this past month I blew up my little $10 mixer and my parents got me a sunbeam standing mixer for xmas. MY MIL got me a featherweight bag and a bunch of tips and my brother got me a cake stand and a georgeous cake plate and matching serving knife. So all in all im a pretty lucky girl.

Congrats to everyone I am just as happy I got my first Kitchen-Aid from my hubby!!!!

I got mine a coupla years ago and woohoo am like totally happy with it. (hubby got me the 4.5 qt. one from wallyworld) this year he got me loads of attachments AND another bowl. YEEEEHAW!!! I done hit the mother lode.

I got mine a couple months ago and LOVE IT! I got a pro in black (so awesome) and it works like a dream.

don't worry Starchaser, you'll get one, I've been wanting one for YEARS, I had my little mixer from Target, which lasted me for 5 years, shockingly enough. Just watch for the sales on them.
I love mine! Its the Artisan, I have not seen the Pro, they do not have those at Macys, just the Artisans, is that their latest?
It has made my life so much easier, I can now breathe easier! I seriously don't know how I've been doing it, compared to this!
And I had no idea about what it can do with all the attachments! Even become an ice cream maker! Its the gift that keeps on giving!

Congrats to everyone! I got mine last yr for my bday, bc I didn't have a mixer to make my cheesecake,so I borrowed one from mom. Hubby comes home from work that night with my KA in hands! I love it every time I use it!

Silvercat, that is so sweet that he did that!
All right ladies, lets get to baking!
Hee hee

I'm getting one next week!
I asked everyone in my family to get me a gift card to bed bath & beyond and then I have enough to get my mixer!! yeah

also, if any of you have the discover card, sometimes you can cash in your reward points for bed bath gift card. i got $75 worth of cards that way!!

tara

alright Tara! Wooohoo!
What color are you looking at?

Congrats to all you new KA owners, and Merry Christmas!! I bought myself an early christmas present and found a steal on my KA 5qt Pro on amazon.com ... 250 no tax or shipping! Woo! It's cobalt blue, and while I'm doing dishes I find myself continually wiping it down, making sure there's not a speck of dust on it. I suspect that will pass, hehe. My man was going to get it for me for christmas, but I knew he wouldn't find as good of a deal. Anyway, I love it!

Oh, and Happy New Year too!

Congratulations!!! I can imagine what it is llike to get a KA for Chistmas (I was not lucky this year). I have been looking at the refurbs on Amazon and have been really tempted to purchase. Can anyone tell me about their experience?

not sure what color. i'll probably end up with stainless steel 'cause that's what my appliances are right now. but, since I won't have it out all the time amybe I should go with something a little more FUN!
