Everyone, I have purchased the Red Artisan unit from Amazon for $199, plus the $99 Attachment pack, and the $99 pasta rollers. Having them gift wrapped and delivered to her address in a couple days. Will let you know after Christmas how it all worked out. So, that means she got the grinder too, and all those other cool attachments as well.

I suspect, from her, I will get..........a gift certificate.

LOL.

You should have had the grinder shipped to your house, at least until you know her better.

When women get angry, there's no telling what they'll grind up.

OMG - I could've lived for 5 months on what you spent for that &^$#~^ thing. I will never see the appeal of KitchenAids as long as I live.

All the stuff gets bunched up on the beaters and there's nothing left in the bowl to mix. You're lucky you can even mix anything in it, because there's no room to dump anything into the bowl to begin with - you have to do this kind of upside down wrist maneuver to put anything more than a Tablespoon of something into the bowl.

Can't lift it, so wherever somebody big and strong puts it, there it stays. Forever. Do not put it away, because you will never get it out to use it again. I do lots and lots of cooking and baking - not professionally, which, if I did, I might like these hulking monster mixers - but I hate the damn things.

Huge waste of time and money, IMHO. I'd rather have more Henckels myself. Merry Christmas!

You did great. The pasta attachment is awesome!
