Kitchen aid - Xmas gift for the mrs

[Welshbeef]

Wife does life to do a fair bit of cooking so am thinking of a nice food mixed but these Kitchen aids seem totally top end nice weight to them 5 year warranty look really funky.

But there is a tall one and a shorter mixer what's the difference for?


They sem to be £430 and guess if go to John Lewis for total piece of mind.

Get it for her and she will love you forever

You could just print out the spec sheet and give her permission to buy it in the new year with her own money.

That is a good price - one color only.

John Lewis are offering it for £430 but it comes with a free Kitchen aid ice cream making attachment.


Also there seems to be three mixers one is the bigger one then the other two look similar ish one is a "Design" the other a "series" no idea what the difference means.

Its a bigger machine but do you really need it for many things? No idea its a bigger bowel but visually the smaller one IMHO looks better.

Also which colour????? They look so good what's the traditional Kitchenaod colour? I'm liking the pistachio

[MentalSarcasm]

What colour is your kitchen and does your wife normally like things that match? No point getting a green mixer if everything else in the kitchen is red

I hear you but I think shed actually really like it. It isn't the "main" gift as the main gift are tickets to see her favourite band front row seats but on Xmas day opening a card as nice as that is doesn't have the magic of a tangible thing. Plus her current mixer is broken

Costco have the heavy duty at £485. I ended up buying it at Harts of Stur..best price and free delivery which was next day and the free ice cream maker was sent as well rather than having to claim back. Worth a look.

Is it better than the smaller one? It doesn't look as nice IMHO


With John Lewis its £430 with free ice cream maker - you claim it back and a John Lewis totally hassle free 5 year warranty.

[Dicky Knee]

I bought the Artisan with free ice cream maker for £386 from Harts. We really don't need the bigger one. I thought it a worthwhile saving and you may find that John Lewis will price match anyway. They did on a camera I just bought there. Worth asking the question.

He wants an imaginary kitchenaid for his imaginary wife so she can cook imaginary food in his imaginary kitchen before she goes to see an imaginary concert.
