Is the KitchenAid Stand Mixer Worth It? Honest Reviews from Professional Cooks

Just keep your eyes open for rebates. There may be a pad of rebate forms near the mixers at the store, or sometimes they're online and you can print them.

thats good to know. i would MUCH rather it be made inthe USA and not china so that the pink paint contains lead and poison's my family through their mashed potatoes. this stuff is getting insane! EVERYTHING should be MADE IN THE U.S.A.!

And you're selling how many products in our line that are?

I have heard that too - never had to use it though. For me, it may be cheaper to drive it to the repair center. KA is made just south of where I live. One of the last appliance companies to say "Made in America". Gotta give them credit, kudos, and my business for that!:thumbup:

They used to have a repair center around here too, but they closed it a few years ago . I had my grandmother's mixer fixed a few years ago with the $25 round-trip deal, they only do it for models that were manufactured between certain years. My KA used to belong to my dad's wife so I don't know if it falls in that time-frame or not. I'm going to wait until the holiday baking season is over (hopefully it will last that long) and then check on sending it in.

i just realized that i can use a coupon at linen's and things for the mixer... 20% off $300 is $60... THAT MEANS I"LL GET IT FOR FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can it get any better than that??

If you can get it for free, what a way to do it! I got an Artisan for a wedding gift. My husband doesn't like that it sits on the counter most of the time but I like that it will be around for years. I've always been used to mixing everything by hand that I forget it's sitting there.

We are looking into getting the ice cream bucket attachment. Yum, love homemade ice cream.
