thanks steve,
if i buy any more kitchenaids i'll either have to move out of the house with dogs, cats, snake included or start mounting them on the roof!
i do have a 21 custom and when i used it it did a great job! but you know me, i'm old fashioned, i like those single hydrosweep 17's 16's 15's etc. once they went with that reversing motor i kinda lost interest! but that's just my taste! it will make a great machine for someone.
i was cruising craigslist in cleveland last nite and found 2 or 3 more kitchanids up for sale, all of the later models like this 21 series. and i found a kd-12 in red but guy wants 500 for it and i e mailed him and politely told him i thought the price was too high. i have never paid more than 200 for any machine, even the kd-12 i have now. if he drops the price i would buy it however!
