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.

Just for the record, I did NOT suggest they get this for us.

Yes, I have wanted one.
Yes, they are really nice.
No, we don't have space to store it in our kitchen.
No, I don't think we will be using it very often.
Maybe at Christmas, but quite frankly, the hand mixer (also a kitchenaid) works just fine for what we make.
It can stay in the basement until we move it to the next house.

You can't go wrong with a kitchenaid! I have my mom's. It's at least 25 years old and still going strong!

And mine resides in a cabinet on a shelf that raises up to waist level when I want to use it.

2A has wanted one for years. He's getting this one.

KitchenAid®: Stand Mixers

It's not like we'll ever need to make 8 pounds of mashed potatoes, 13 dozen cookies or 8 loaves of bread at once. :lol:
