Yeah, but that professional model is $400! Then you get $50 back? I can get the Artisan at Amazon and all those attachments for just a bit more. I may be a man, but I can do math!
True, but there's a 25% off attachments rebate too....
Also, not sure what model you got, but the last rebate on the list is for $20 off a 5 quart mixer...
Before you sign on the line, be sure to compare horsepower.
My opinion...
The black one is not a good idea.
With the way the beater rotates around the bowl, it's hard to scrape the bowl while mixer is running.
With the metal bowl, when making something like divinity where you add boiling syrup to beaten egg whites, it takes FOREVER for the bowl to cool enough to start to thicken the mix. And I mean FOREVER. I've wrapped ice in towels and held them around the bowl in an effort to cool the darm bowl.
Just my thoughts.
