Mixer Decision- Thanks!!

JSlot

Thanks for all the input. Once again the diverse knowledge of this group has never ceased to amaze me. The choices came down to the Electrolux Magic Mill and the Kitchen Aid Artisan 325 watt model. The Electrolux had the power advantage and the open top for adding ingredients, but, in the end, two factors swayed my decision in favor of the Kitchen Aid. The first was price. Since I'm not going to be doing an unusual amount of baking etc., it was hard to justify spending the extra money for the Electrolux. Secondly, and more importantly, the Electrolux was not available in EMPIRE GREEN!!!!!! So, my new mixer will match up nicely with my family of BGE's!!! Thanks again for all of your wonderful opinions and insights![p]Frosty Ones,
Jim[p]P.S. Final Tally = K/A Artisan 5 qt. Stand Mixer in empire green from Amazon.com $209.89 with free shipping. But wait!! There's more! Since I spent over $99 in small appliances, I get a free Proctor Silex 4 qt. round crock pot! Free shipping on that, too!! Life is good!!

JSlot,[p]The BGE is helping us with landingscaping our backyard. We built a new home about three years ago and while the front is nicely landscaped the backyard is a blank canvas. Well a month ago here came the BGE now we're ready to begin our project with the BGE being the star and focal point.[p]Heck... we're not obsessed... are we?[p]Chris

Magic Mills run in the 4s, with the lowest price that I know someone has paid over the past couple years is about $380. Given your criteria you've made a good call, Jim.[p]Enjoy the green KA.[p]Puj[p]
