Rebate Offer for KitchenAid 5 or 6 Quart Stand Mixer August 28, 2009

In case you are in the market for a KitchenAid stand mixer, you may receive $40 cash back plus a 1-year subscription to your choice of magazines, Food & Wine or Travel + Leisure and also a 20 favorites stand mixer recipe book.  Find the details here on the KitchenAid website.

FYI, I think I’ll take advantage of this deal since I’ve been in the market for quite awhile.   I totally missed out on the super awesome deal for the KitchenAid 6 quart stand mixer that Amazon had going for about $300 earlier this summer.  Ever since then, I want nothing less than the 6 quart.  However, I’ve been going back and forth with my boyfriend as to why the 6 quart is worth spending more money on versus the 5 quart.  Here is my winning arguement (sorta):

Me:  I want the 6 quart because it’s bigger and better!

Mr. Rational:  What will one more quart and more watts do for you other than increased costs to purchase and operate?

Me:  Because… Well, why do you drive a V6 as opposed to a 4 cylinder?

silence

Mr. Rational:  When you can come up with a better reason, then I’ll consider.

Update:  I do have have a rational explanation for wanting a 6 qt. but have also considered the 5 qt.  The way I see it, if the price margin between both is equal or less than $50, then of course, I’ll go with the bigger and better one.  However, we found the 5 qt. on sale at Sears less some discount, less the mail in rebate for a total of about $203.  See, I’m a reasonable girlfriend and will consider the 5 qt. a better deal.  Check out the deal on slickdeals.net.  And there are 23 colors to choose from!  I think I’ll go with either the pear or boysenberry.

While looking for my anniversary present from my boyfriend (hehe), I found this mixer celebrating it’s own anniversary this year.  It features the original candy apple red color and glass bowl mixer for their 90th anniversary edition.

Alas, my heart only beats for this mixer, though.  It replaces the mixer of my dreams from my earlier post.

Don’t you just love the satin copper color?  It would fit perfect in my gourmet kitchen of my dreams!

What’s the difference from a hand held mixer and a stand mixer?  Well, since I don’t have one yet, I can only imagine the wonders but I do believe the attachments make a difference.  And I bet that giant whisk is perfect for stiff egg whites and an unbelievable Italian Meringue buttercream.  I also love the fact that you can add other attachments for use other than a mixer.  Such as an ice cream maker or pasta maker.
