It's not an expensive toy but it is one that will save me so much time and so much work.
I got a crank sifter that will hold 3 lbs! My little 5 cup sifter that I have to squeeze the handle has been KILLING me when I'm sifting so much! I am thrilled.

Funny you should say that...
I haven't seen any, but my husband and I were talking about how Kitchenaid should make an attachment that sifts right into the bowl... THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

A few years ago, before I came a stay at home mom, I was a brand representative for Whirlpool (Kitchenaid is owned by Whirlpool, and was one of my brands that I covered.) They are always looking for ideas like that from consumers, so if I were you I would definately e-mail them your idea! I have a KA, a sifter attachment is something that I would definatley purchase!!
Yes Rachel that would be awesome! Do you think that if we all email to KA they'll listen to us
A petition from CC members!
I have emailed and written them for this very item just a week ago!!! 
Cake minds think alike!!! I really like the sifter you just bought, I desparately need a new on too.....
Very nice. Do you know if there are any electric sifters?
Here is a battery powered one I was considering:

At least that battery powered one has a lid on it. I have one like Mrs.Right is waiting for, the problem is when you are cranking, stuff is flying out the top. I now cover the top with wax/parchment paper and hold it on with a rubber band. This allows me to crank fast and get it done. But it would be so much easier with a lid that snaps on.
I just use a very large wire mesh sieve and my special electric tool, my hand. No sifting handle just swirl your hand around the sieve and the flour goes through quickly and easily. I am wondering how much dust the electric or battery operated ones generate.
I'm reading Alton Brown's book about baking and he always uses his food processor to sift flour.
I use the big one too. I save the bags the bulk flour and sugar come in...cut them open, lay them on the counter and sift my ingredients into the, lift and make slight fold and pour ingredients into the mixers.
For right now this will work... but I do agree, maybe an e-mail to Kitchen-Aid from all of us would help.

or I drape a colander over my 5 qt mixer and add the ingredients to the top and just bang it lightly on the sides and that works very well also!
Well, after having my sweet husband sifting my powdered sugar for quite some time and having him complain CONSTANTLY about it, I decided that enough was enough.
While I've been using a simple mesh strainer for this, it doesn't fit on some bowls, and than soemtimes I'm sifting so much powdered sugar that the sifted powdered sugar reaches too high...
UGH!
Anyway, I'll definately use a piece of foil over the top with this, but I needed something I could do faster and with less and squeezing motion!

I bought a sifter just like that from Chef's magazine and it worked great for a little while and then the mesh basket kept slipping and it didn't sift so well. 
For now I'm back to my manual mesh sifter. I need to call them, maybe mine was just defective.
Anyway, when it was working well, I took a cake board and cut out a circle the size of the bottom of the sifter. I placed that, with the sifter on top, over one of my square tupperware storage containers and it was great! Before I did this, hand would get so tired holding the sifter over the bowl.
