Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I had a Kitchen Aid Mixer and when I moved several years ago it ended up in the musty damp basement with out a box or wrapping of any kind. By the time I realized where it was it was so dirty I would never use it again. I have not had a mixer for the last 5 years. Today I bought a Sunbeam Heritage Mix Master, as the Kitchen Aid is just more expensive then I can afford. I am looking forward to many years of using it as I love to bake.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Kitchen Aid was bought out this year by Whirlpool. You've heard the rest of the story...'they ain't made they like they used to be'.... Kitchen Aid has a good reputation but since they're not around anymore, it's going to take some time before people start hearing about problems with appliances. Be cautious buying one...make sure it doesn't have plastic parts in it or you won't have yours lasting as long. Some of the gals on Finer Kitchens are looking at other mixers just because of that.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 OH Blast!!! I hate when a good, reliable company is bought by another, no matter the reputation. It usually seems to mean a decline in quality. Now if I had $1,500 bucks to blow, I'd go for a Hobart. Of course I'd have to get the husband person to move it, if I needed to move the beast. Thankfully I bought my current Kitchen Aid artisan about two years ago. (Cobalt blue, gorgeous!) Where is the kitchen group? I need to get a new rice cooker (can't afford one like my old Zojirushi) and food processor. (My old Cuisinart lasted several decades and the Wolfgang Puck lasted two months.) The grandson wants a griddle to cook one of his addictions - blueberry pancakes with blueberry syrup. Hugs, Jeanne in GA aust4freng <werus wrote: Kitchen Aid was bought out this year by Whirlpool.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I am sorry to hear that. Kitchen Aid is a very respected company and it won't be for long.
