I just ordered one yesterday. Now, I'll have 2. I was going to give my white one to my cousin (always wanted one), but, it seems, Santa beat me to it. The new, "artisan" is aqua. It'll be a nice addition to the kitchen. A lot of you know that I like to bake a lot. My late grandfather had a bakery. He would have loved these things.
The mixer should arrive in a few days! |

I'm sure it will be put to good use.
Now, I'll try to get rid of the white one. I also have: 2 Kitchenaid hand mixers, a Sunbeam "Vista" stand mixer, a Dormeyer stand mixer, a Sunbeam hand mixer, and a chrome "Dormie" and Sunbeam. Yes, I bake a lot. It is a Kitchenaid extravaganza around here. Someday, I'll post pics, when I can. |

My ex-wife had one in pearlescent white. She said it was an anniversary edition and thought it was just the be-all and end-all of mixers. All I remember about it is that it was heavy as all get-out and a total pain to haul out of the cabinet and set up on the counter the couple of times a year she used it. But people who have Kitchenaid mixers seem to really love them, sometimes to the point of looking down a bit on people who don't have them, as though they are more serious and accomplished cooks for having one.
I find my vintage Sunbeam Mixmasters to be more than adequate for my modest needs, as well as more cost effective. I just don't use a mixer enough to justify spending $300-$400 on one. |

I, too, love the Sunbeams...the older ones. I have a "Vista", that came out of a convent. My little chrome hand mixer also 'does the job'well, too.
As far as spending $$, luckily, thankfully, I got this brand new one for only $100.00 I KNOW, right? The Kitchenaids are heavy, but good. I like them all. This post was last edited 01/12/2022 at 15:53 |

I made tons of stuff long before I ever bough the 1st Kitchenaid. I'd never think less of anyone who didn't own one, really. Years ago, I treated myself to the white one, and was going to give it to my cousin. But, she received her own this Christmas.
I remember my grandfather using his old Sunbeam mixmaster all the time. Fond memories, indeed. |

Shoutout for your Sunbeam Vista! I also have one and I love it (at least for use at home)
Kitchenaids are so sturdy and easy to use though, I can't imagine trying to mess with the bowl base on the Vista when I was baking for restaurants/coffee shops. Sounds like you scored a nice addition to your collection |
