Ok - time to join in - I ordered a KitchenAid mixer today -

Amazon had a 4.5 quart "Classic" for $99...I couldn't resist any longer. After reading all the posts about these wonderful "beasts" I finally gave in to my yearning for one.

I've been lurking since the beginning - enjoy all the pictorial, how-to threads, the before and after renovation threads, ya'll are amazing!!!

Thanks to all of the regulars here who've made this such a great group!

:donut: cheers!

I mostly lurk here, but just love this forum. :toast:

3. Congratulations on your soon to be new toy

You will wonder how you lived without it. I've had mine 3.5 years and have been making up for lost time!

6. Ice cream maker? Uh oh...

I've got my eye on the meat grinder - but homemade ice cream?? Could get real dangerous! LOL (maybe I could get it for when the nieces/nephew come :evilgrin:)

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

7. Damn!

the price went down since I bought mine for $119?

[vademocrat]

8. Price is back up to $129 today -

I think they had a one day sale that I lucked into. When I saw your post a couple weeks ago I almost bought one since that's the cheapest I'd ever seen for a new mixer.

:shrug: I got lucky I guess

10. Congrats on your new mixer!

I'm sure you'll love it, I know I couldn't do without mine.
Have fun with yours!

11. tip: get a second bowl

I finally got a second bowl for my mixer and I don't regret it. Now I can whip egg whites or cream without cleaning out the bowl or having to get out the hand mixer. They sell a smaller bowl which is a bit less expensive than the full size one.

12. That would be nice

if I could get the bowl off my damn mixer in the first place!

13. twist it clockwise
