Caviar KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixers KSM150PSCV

---

It's not just the creme de la creme of mixers, it's the only one you should ever own. If you're new to Kitchenaid, I know what you're thinking. "Gee, this is a really expensive mixer! Why would I want to pay this much when I can easily get one of a hundred other brand mixers for 50 bucks?" It's simple -- there is a reason why in every movie or television show containing a kitchen scene, you'll see a KitchenAid mixer somewhere. It's not just slick product placement.

It's the simple fact that there is nothing, and I mean NO OTHER MIXER that even comes close to being of the quality and durability that even the most CASUAL user would need! For example: I discovered baking when I was 8 years old and would haul my mother's mixer out of the bottom cabinent on a regular basis to make some increasingly devine concoxion.

This passion for baking continued the 10 additional years I lived at home. During that time, we went through three mixers (motors burnt out) and more than a dozen new pairs of beaters (a real pain to order). For the price of all of this, we could have easily bought a KitchenAid, which I did -- as my first kitchen item in my 1st apartment at 18. Now I'm 28, a KitchenAid owner for 10 years, and still on my original mixer and beaters! [grin]

And . . . did I mention it mixes better and more thourough and it's easier to clean? Yep! What more could you want?PS, my grandmother willed me the one she owned for more than 40 years so now I have a black one and a white one. Both, I'm sure will last long enough to put in my own will.
