I'm researching the purchase of a new 6 or 7 qt. Kitchenaid mixer. I've looked at Kohls, Williams Sonoma, Everythings Kitchen and Amazon so far. Any input on any of these places/sites or did you purchase your KA somewhere else? Do you have any experience with ordering a mixer online? Thanks.

my first mixer was from kohls and the second was on clearance at home goods. i think a mixer is a mixer, doesn't matter the retailer, you just have to find the best price. 

I bought my 6 qt kitchenaid mixer from Kohls with a 30% discount coupon.  That was a good deal. 
I bought a 10 qt Vollrath mixer online with no problems.

AI bought mine from kitchen aid and one from overstock

Have you tried Costco? They have excellent customer service and often have sales on their KAs.

I purchased my 7qt from Williams Sonoma about 2 years ago and never had a problem with it.

I second Costco!  

Kohl's while on sale with an additional 30% off.  Can't beat it!

I just checked Costco online (we don't have a store nearby) and they don't offer the 6 or 7 qt KA.
 

Lowes (in store), Everything Kitchens (online), Webstaurant Store, Target.  All good - find the best price.

AHave you considered getting two 4.5qt mixers instead? Costco is selling them for $170.

I already have two 4.5 mixers and would really like something bigger now but a good thought Jason.
 

ACostco always has them in store, I paid $240 for my 5.5qt that has a 6 qt bowl. Recently I saw the same size in Sams for a similar price, and it came with a mail in rebate for a free pasta roller which is worth over $100.
