RDaneel

right. a promotional code will be emailed within four to six weeks of the purchase. This code will be redeemable for $20 off a future purchase of products sold by Amazon.com in any of our stores

This might be a stupid question....but is the 300-watt powerful enough? I want to get my wife one of these but I want to make sure it's got enough juice.

Has anyone had a problem with their refurbished unit? My mixer seems to have a problem with what appears to may be a fuse(It's the flat headed screwdriver looking screw on both sides of the head.) If it gets loose the unit will not turn on, I then have to get a screwdriver and tighten it. I'm going to have to call Kitchenaid about it to see what they say.

Depends on what she is going to use it for. I hear that the more powerful ones are the ones to get for dough mixing. I have the 325W version that was listed in this thread at one time and it does fine for mixing up batters and other things I have done with it in the two weeks I have had it.

Just snagged one, thx much.

I've had a 325W ProLine model for ten years or so... it's used heavily, mostly with the dough hook for heavy whole-wheat doughs. It's never missed a beat (no pun intended!) This is the 5qt model with the lifting bowl, not the tilt. These things are built solid - all the serious cooks and bakers in my family own them, and several machines have been passed on to a second generation. I've got just about every accessory there is, but the one I would recommend most is having at least one extra bowl.

This will be perfect. I've burned up 3 mixers in 4 years. I'm sure this will last longer.

Just ordered one, this item evidently qualifies for a $15 off $75 promotion (available @ another site) the website wouldn't take the promo code, but a friendly CSR applied it for me.

The $20 GC should apply also, Details, states it's valid for appliances that are >$99 before promo codes etc.

The math:

Mixer _____$99
promo code-$15
GC_______-$20
Total _____$64

Not a bad deal, except I need to buy a different house now with more counter space

AU, thx for the info.

Even still, $150 is a helluva deal. I bought one for my wife a couple of years ago for $300.

WOW! $99 for a mixer sounds high enough! But $369 retail for a mixer? That sounds outlandish to me! But then again, I've never bought many kitchen appliances in my lifetime.

If you don't bake A LOT, then you may not think it's worth it. It's very high quality, and worth every penny for someone who uses it a lot.

Went out of stock yesterday, back in stock for $70 more (169.99) today. Same price as all the other refurb colours.

Mine has shipped out already btw. I even got the free shipping option. It was supposed to ship on the ninth but it went out on the fourth! Will report back when it gets here. Ordered mine at 10:30pm on the 2nd.

Just got my shipping notice, looking @ the charge on my CC, it looks like the CSR adjusted the price & blew me out of the running for the $20 GC

Darn... 2 Bad I didn't see this... But, I guess I didn't do too bad. Found the 50.00 dollar gold cupon for the blue one. 325 W brand New. Got a free set of pans with it. Probably throw away pans but good for camping or whatever... Anyway. Came out to 199 w/free shipping. And got a free 69.00 grinder with it. So, I guess it's not too bad. We wanted the grinder anyway so basically I got it for 130 bucks considering I would have had to shell out 70 for a grinder. Haven't used it yet but the wife likes it! This is the Tilt version. I think the top pro version is way too costly.
