Beware: KitchenAid mixers just milking their name and reputation.
Comments (46)Hmm, I've also been reading this thread with interest because I was just about to buy a KA stand mixer. On their website, it says the Professional 600 series is "Flour Power" rated for 14 cups, "8 loaves white bread, 13 dozen cookies, 8 lb. mashed potatos" Also from their website: Warranty Our Hassle-Free Replacement Warranty guarantees that if your countertop appliance fails during the first year, KitchenAid will replace it free of charge. We will: # Deliver a replacement to your door # Arrange the return of the failed appliance # Guarantee the new appliance for one year For more information or complete warranty details on KitchenAid® countertop appliances, please call Customer Service at 1-800-541-6390. Sure doesn't sound like your experience. Maybe I'll have to look at the Cuisinart instead. W....See MoreWhat color is your KitchenAid stand mixer?
Comments (105)What a great thread - I have the original white, lift bowl Model K 5A. And I have to confess that many times over the years I've been tempted by the siren call of those glorious cobalt, pistachio and and chrome machines. But I have a strong sentimental attachment to my Kitchen Aid and I still remember the day my husband and I purchased it. While waiting to have the tires changed on our 1971 Plymouth Duster we wandered across the parking lot to a Best Products store. He spied me eyeing the mixer and encouraged me to buy it. I thought it was too extravagant - we were living on one income and he still had 2 more years of med school. But we had been scrimping and watching every penny and DH was working in the lab on weekends so he bought it for me. I still have the receipt, I use it as a bookmark inside my Joy of Cooking. That was 11/20/1976 and I paid $164.89 for it. And it's also the first thing I look for when I check a bridal registry - it's my favorite gift.

Comments (5)I am also looking at installing the kitchenaid proline mixer with a lift. I am looking at the Rev-a-shelf specs which are not at all clear, but it looks as though I will need to install the lift lower inside the cabinet. The Rev-a-shelf heavy duty specs shows a picture of the lift installed at a regular height with a KA pro displayed on it in the up position. The lift needs some clearance at the bottom because it actually lowers through an arc before it lifts. It shows the arc lowering 1 7/8" before starting to arc up. Also looks like it will need even more space below for the mechanism. Rev-a-shelf states 4 3/8" as the lowest point. I'm still not clear that this will for sure work. I will keep seeing if I can figure out this drawing, but if someone has done this and has experience please help us!...See MoreKitchenaid mixer: old vs new
Comments (20)I agree, that is a lovely mixer. I love the glass bowl and now I am going to have to see if they make one that fits my current mixer. I also hope to one day get a copper bowl for the mixer for egg whites. If I knew someone that would love to have a stand mixer and could not afford the expense, I would probably pass the old one on. My criteria would be somebody who I already knew liked to bake, not just somebody who thinks that maybe someday... It is hard for me to justify holding on to something and taking up storage for something that somebody else could put to use. Dcarch, thank you for the information about having the mixers greased. I really should have that done. The seal dry rotted on my first mixer and all the grease/oil came out. In retrospect, it was not a large surprise as I lived near Palm Springs, CA at the time where the climate is very dry and quite warm. We were having a difficult time trying to find a repair place so KitchenAid did a one time replacement, free of charge. That mixer was passed on to a friend who bakes when DH found a more powerful one with a larger capacity for a great deal....See Moreplllog
