Finally!! I took back the Sumbeam tht didnt work and bought a kitchenaid. I am so impressed. My hubby thinks I am crazy for paying 200.00 for a mixer. It is made so much better and seems to be alot sturdier.

Congratulations!!! Its a great investment.

Great, I think I'm in love with mine.

You will be happier. Sunbeam doesn't make them like they used to. My FIL bought me a sunbeam. It only lasted 5 years and I am only a hobbiest.

Yep and she'll last for years What a friendship I have with my KA....

awesome for you...i am in need of a new mixer myself, my kitchen aid has lasted about 15 years and it is finally breaking down, piece by piece....poor thing is tired and needs to put out of it's misery!!!! i am nursing it a little while longer so i can save up for another.... i have my eyes and heart set on the delonghi mixer though...980watts of pure power and a 7quart bowl...oooh hold on while i wipe the drool from my chin....

Congrats!
You did go in returning you Sunbeam. I borrowed my moms last week and burnt it out whle mixing a cake. Now I'm stuck buying her another.
My anniversary is Wed and I'm hoping to get my KA. Can't wait.

My KA has been ticking for 22 years now! I love her!! You'll be glad you traded!

totally worth the $! i just bought a second one -a 600 series. i have them both out right now. i made soemthing the night i got it and my hubby asked how i liked it. then he said "you know we are putting one away. they can't both stay out on the counter!" but, i need them both!

I've had my sunbeam for 2 years now and use it alot. The only problem i have is finding attatchements for it, paddle, whisk. It does get a lil hot when i mix up a batch of buttercream... maybe if i wish real hard my DH will buy me a kitchen aid for christmas.

I got my KA last year for Christmas from my parents and I cried. I love it and don't know how I lived without it! Great investment!

I got a 300 watt KA at my bridal shower 3 years ago and have loved it. Now that I'm doing more baking (and MMF) my DH just got me a KA Pro 600 for me for Christmas (he wanted to get the free bowl while they were still offering it- it's all wrapped for Christmas...) I'm so happy! I'm still going to use my original and use the Pro for MMF and larger batches of cookies, double cake batters etc. I can't wait!!!

my hubby finally sucummed to my not too subtle hints and i got a pink KA 500 series mixer for christmas. they cost over $650 here in australia, so i think he was on the verge of losing his mind if I asked for one anymore!!!

I did finally use it last night. I can't believe the difference!! I loved my 5.00 second hand store mixer, but I can't believe the difference in the cake batter!!! I always thought a mixer was a mixer!!

Cjstor, I just stumbled across this post of yours and saw that you are from Washington CH, OH. I can't believe that - that's where my in-laws live! I have a KA, and I LOVE it also. I don't think I would ever buy another brand of mixer again (if I ever have to, they last so long!)
