I've seen some threads about mixer collections, but I can't find one for pics specifically of Kitchenaid mixers, both new and vintage. I'd love to see photos of the mixers you're using at home, not necessarily on display shelves in collections. I'll take a couple myself and post them. I don't have any room for another collection, but I feel like I'm starting to get the bug to collect Kitchenaids. I think I like them so much because using one with my grandmother is one of my first memories, and everyone in my family has had one for as long as I've been around. If I remember correctly, they were sold in maybe one contemporary color and in white but nothing else. Now, they come in dozens of colors and metal finishes, and I wouldn't be surprised a broad range could be found within this group. For now, I'm attaching a link to a Kitchenaid stand mixer history site, which devotes a page to each model.

My main mixer is a Professional 6 in Matte Black, circa 06?? 525 watts, gets used a few times a week, honest. Back up is a circa 1969? white K5 that I inherited from elderly neighbor who did wedding cakes, ect just for fun back in the day, it made the landladys wedding cake. Handy in the drawer a 08 hand mixer 7 speed, gets some use, have the matching stick blender too.No issues with any, ever.Have 3 vintage mixer attachments, in their boxes still, priced around $12! Yes, long ago. Have 2 bowls for both stand mixers as well. I bake a bit.

The old model f and G both are a single speed motor with a 3 speed gearbox, if you put it in low gear, I guarantee nothing made today will even come close to that much power! |

KitchenAids are Hobart, the newest one I have is the K5a pictured above, its a 1965 model, I think the old ones with a real governor are much better....of course, I hate anything under 40 years old LOL! |

WHEN I use it, I use it a LOT. I'll remember that thing about the grease. That explains why I've seen oil around the band.
THANKS for that insight. Running it 2 inutes a month really shouldn;t be a problem. WE come from a family of bakers. AND a familt bakery. I have an old Sunbeam mixmaster and a Dormeyer. But, you have to love a Kitchenaid. Most of my family has on,.along with a HOOVER vacuum. (Johnny made SURE of that)! |

I should have posted a counter pic when I started this thread, but here it is a little late. The finish on both is called Sugar Pearl Silver. (BTW, the trivet on the wall the says "Virginia's Kitchen" was my grandmother's. Since one of my first memories is standing on a chair next to her while she mixed things in her Kitchenaid, that trivet has hung in my kitchen near the mixer since she died.)

Those cookies look so good-and bet right out of the oven-just cooked so they are nice and hot-love them that way-when I make cookies-eat a lot of them just right after they have been cooked. |

I'll have to focus on a picture strictly of the mixer. However I took this photo last week while using it to make a cake for a friends Birthday. It's an old Kitchen Aid from my mom. Some day I'd like to get either the navy blue or forest colored green models!! I could have a Christmas themed kitchen between a green mixer and the red microwave. That's funny a Christmas kitchen, and I'm supposed to celebrate Hanukkah instead!!

I have a purple Artisan. Love it. But, I still use my Sunbeam more. I like the 2 different bowls, and I grew up with a Sunbeam. The one I use the most is 40 years old and going strong. Too bad they don't make them like that anymore. I sound like my parents! |

I baked some cookies this afternoon so I had my mixer out. I usually keep it in the pantry because it is too tall to fit under the counter. |

Hi, here's pictures of my mixer obsession!!! All the hand mixers in the cupboard I've rebuilt and use! The coral colored Sunbeam Mixmaster model 9 all taken apart, I sandblasted at work, painted and am restoring! That mixer was so gross when I bought it, you couldn't even tell what it was! The newer Sunbeam model 2350 on my Cosco stool I garbage picked a few weeks back! The thing works great too! I just had to buy it some beaters! I will be making a cake with it this weekend! A few of my mixers were given to me by friends too! Never can have too many mixers! :) -Michelle

I've got a couple of chrome Sunbeam Mixmasters from the '70s. They're plenty powerful, fit my needs nicely and weigh a lot less than a Kitchenaid. One is chrome with a chrome base and the other is a Vista with built-in work light that has a brown bakelite base. At one time, I had four Mixmasters but I gave one to a girlfriend (we're not together anymore but no regrets there, we parted as friends and I'm glad she has it) and donated the other, which was really just a conglomeration of spare parts assembled into an almost complete mixer, to my church's rummage sale.

From left to right, those are 7-, 6-, and 5-quart models. The finish is Sugar Pearl Silver Metallic, which color isn't used much anymore, so I won't be able to add anything else to that set, not that I need to! Mixer expert John Pease's favorite color is Candy Apple Red, and I'm going to try to convince him to pose with a photo of his collection, at least these same three models in that color.

Design, function, everything. I only have one: in white. I DO love the baby blue (I forget the real name) one, but, can't justify buying another one. I thought, :if it wears out, I can replace it". Then I realized, it won't wear out. Mine doesn't get used hard, but, it does get its share of usage. Too many colors from which to choose. I always say, "Give me anything but an option!".
