Help! Got a Kitchen Aid a few years ago and I'm disappointed with it...I always end up with dry ingredients unmixed in the bottom of the bowl. Does it have an adjustment I can make? If you all love yours, I must be doing something wrong!

I've got the type where the bowl lifts up. It's been a while since I've adjusted it, but it seems to me that there was a screw that you turned to adjust the bowl height to prevent that from happening.

And it looks like now she could have gotten her red one for right around the price you paid anyways.......... Amazon.com: KitchenAid KSM150PSER Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Empire Red: Home & Garden

That is a lower power model though.

I would think also that you could just lift the bowl at some point to get those reluctant ingredients involved.

With the type of bowl on my lift up model, you really can't lift it - it hooks over two prongs and snaps under a plate.

You should have a Kitchenaid for a lifetime, so when you pick out a color, make sure you'll love it for a long time. Tangerine orange may seem "cool" this week, but in 5 years, will look damn silly.

My parents bought us one for Christmas last year. They bought it from Kohls in Waldorf over the phone from Georgia. Wife had to go pick it up at the store. It sits, still in it's box, in the basement.

I have been baking for 30 years and have never laid eyes on a real live stand mixer that wasn't a department store display. Yet, certain people decided that it is not possible to bake without one and therefore I MUST have one at all costs...or at least at a cost of about $350 on sale...yes, I was rude enough to look at it online when it was bought as a gift...

So, I had to drive to the mall in Waldorf on a prime Christmas shopping day and pick this thing up. It weighs about 75lbs. The manager told the clerk to get it out of the office where it was put after being bought over the phone. The clerk started to pick it up and changed her mind, shoving it across floor. At which point I was expected to pick it up and carry it to my car. I looked at the box, with it's convenient gift receipt taped to the top ...I looked at the customer service/returns desk...I was sooooo tempted. Then I thought, "huntr will kill me if I don't at least take it home so he can see the gift that he actually suggested his mother buy despite the fact that I'd told him more than once that I had no use for it."

So, I lugged it out to my van. It sat there for a couple of weeks until huntr decided to lug it into the house. (no way I was gonna do it, when I was still hoping to take it back to the store.) It sat in the corner in my kitchen for months. Every now and then huntr suggested I open it up and I'd ask why. He never did come up with a good answer. The fact is, I don't have room on the counter for it, where it might actually get used. I don't even have room in a kitchen cabinet for it, where I might see it from time to time and think, "Maybe I could use this." So after several months sitting in a corner, the in-laws decided to come for a visit...oops. So, it was finally lugged down to the basement, the only place I'd have room to store it and where there is no way in hell, I'm gonna lug that heavy-ass thing back upstairs.

As far as I know the gift receipt is still taped to the top.
