the cheapest artisan??? What's the best price that you've either purchased or saw the Kitchenaid artisan on Amazon?

On September 7, 2009, I bought a black onyx Kitchen-Aid Artisan 5 quart stand mixer from Bed, Bath and Beyond in Dayton, Ohio, for $232.92 including tax, . Normally it would have been $299.99 but I used one of their 20% off coupons. (Apparently, Artisan mixer prices vary according to the colors as well as where one buys the product.) Amazon wanted $289.95 but the S & H was not included. Kohl's was having one of their "best prices of the season sale" and they wanted the full $349.99 that is Kitchen-Aid's asking price.

I just want to warn you to not buy this stand mixer. It's made really cheap. the one I bought lasted about a year with light use, the motor failed. I recommend KitchenAid.

I got a Kitchenaid machine back in 2001 and bought a power converter. It is working ever since, no prob. But i have to admit, the converter did cost around $75.. So you have to decide, whether it is worth it. Since i have it already, it would make sense buying this blender here, and save, because they cost around $300 and more here in germany.

Did any of you see the Popular Mechanix video that tested blenders? Neither the blentec or the vitamix comes out looking very good. I've been using my Kitchenaid 5-speed, which won the competition, everyday for green smoothies and it does a great job at a fraction of the cost.

True. We bought the one at Costco for $500, and added the Dry Blender for an additional $100 (as well as the spice pack for another $20) (rounding up on all prices). Basically, our out the door price was $657 with tax. Also, since we bought during the demonstration, we received the full 7 year warranty on all items purchased that day. A much better deal than what is being reflected on Amazon, but this requires a Costco Membership, and attending one of the live demonstrations. My wife has been wanting one of these for years, and the demo convinced us to finally make the purchase for her birthday.

I bought a remanufactured unit, which was less then the new unit. 349.00 new and 279.00 remfg. I don't know where you found the new unit for 249.00? I have to tell you that I am very pleased with the one I bought. Have not used my regular stove oven since. The convection feature is great. Pizza is the best. Pies are wonderful Cookies are even better. VERY PLEASED.

I have the Artisan Mixer. I love this smaller bowl for smaller mixing quantities. I would advise you contact KitchenAid to see if the bowl is compatible with your particular mixer before you purchase.

If you are going to be making bread, go with the 600 lift-up bowl model, my Artisan can't really handle bread dough gracefully - it really struggles and makes such terrible noises it makes me anxious that it is going to die!

I did find one, But Not On Amazon!!I think its the "KitchenAid® 7 Quart Flex Edge Beater (Fits models KSM7990 and KSM7581)". I found it on Kitcheaid.com. I am assuming that KSM7581 is a basic model number for the 7" Pro Line as well as other models. Let me know if anyone find anything else.

I just purchased a brand new 5 Quart Artisan Stand Mixer in Reef Blue for $199.00 from our local hardware store in Lovell, WY. (CK Hardware) I also just completed the $30.00 rebate paperwork...which when processed will bring my purchase total to $169.00! (plus tax, of course) Just in case you are shopping...they still had a couple black, two cobalt blue and a white one left! Can't beat this deal anywhere!

When did you buy the mixer and where? I just ordered the Pro 600 from Amazon today and would love to get my hands on that kind of extended warranty.

This link to Kitchenaids' web site should get you the right rebate for the Pro 600:http://www.shopkitchenaid.com/pdfs/50HolidaySelect.pdfBy the way, has anyone gotten a packing slip with theirs? Mine did not come with one (and was, I presume, drop shipped direct from Kitchenaid). What are folks using as their proof of purchase in lieu of a register receipt or packing slip? A printed copy of their Amazon invoice?

Depending on the supplier, prices differ, just make sure it is a kitchen-aid product item and not a knock-off. Also make sure you order the right item for Your mixer,turn the mixer upside down and you will find the serial #

I'd never buy through Ktom. Sites like that typically have "restocking fees". I bought a $300 blender through the webstaurant store, returned it and was charged a 30% retocking fee!!! 30%!!! Never again will I buy from them. There's no such contingency with Amazon. I bought my slicer through Amazon and the item was delivered damaged. They took it back without question and placed an order for another machine. Ive been using it for one year now and it still operates like it did when it came out of the box. Other than that I cant tell you what the mechanical warranty is from Presto offhand. I'll see if I can dig up the paperwork tonight and get back to you. I'd never buy through Ktom.

I just bought mine a couple months ago, and, as it sounds, you are a kitchen gadget lover, too. I had a Cuisinart that I used it to death in less than 2 years. I hoped by the Kitchen-Aid reputation (and you can't beat nearly half price) that it will take the use at least as well if not better. There's a bit more to this set, too. I'm thrilled with it so far, and I'll bet you would be, too! Happy Holidays!

Their free shipping has always been super fast for me. I ordered a Kitchen Aid mixer a few weeks ago and it came overnight, even though I chose the free shipping option. Can't get better than that.
