Hope this is ok to post here. WS has their special edition mixer on sale if anyone is needing a back up mixer. It sure is pretty and red!!
I am not sure if you can find a better price but thought I would share this anyway.

I just did a quick search on prices and $249 seems to be a great price for this anniv edition. I love the glass bowl!

I got this for Christmas it is awesome! The glass bowl is really cool..

That red would look terrific next to my granite one! I would love to have it but...there are so many things on my wish list right now that I better not.

Its an awesome price for this KitchenAid. I think its a beautiful piece of machinery. You'll also have the Williams-Sonoma protection. They stand behind the products they sell...even though you won't need the additional protection. Its a KitchenAid for goodness sake
