Turquoise-Licious Mixing!

[hooverwheelaway]

So Macy's had a beautiful Turquoise KitchenAid 5-qt mixer --part of the Martha Stewart collection-- for over a year. When Robert and I go to the Mall of America, we usually park next to Macy's third floor entrance (which is conveniently an entrance in the small electrics department)... for a year, we drooled over this beautiful Turquoise mixer. Then we went to the mall a few weeks after Christmas -- and they were gone. Completely. Gone. We asked about them and were told that they went on clearance after Christmas, and no stores had them anymore.

Then I went poking around online. Still in stock! But still at the full price. I kept checking back, and finally it got marked down. Robert ordered one as a surprise for us for valentine's day... the UPS man delivered it yesterday! So we had to try it out tonight.

It's the perfect shade of turquoise! It looks FaBuLoUs in the kitchen with all of the other turquoise! They did really well picking this shade of turquoise...

Does anyone know about getting a glass bowl from the 90th Anniversary model? If they're available as a replacement part -- if I order one -- will it work on this model?

Fred, from what I understand on the KA forums, and Kelly will hopefully back me up, but in about 6 months to a year, they will more than likely offer the glass bowl as an accessory option for compatible mixers, but not until then.

Now, if KitchenAid added that to their dishwashers...

Then I might get away with bringing a turquoise one into town! They really did get a great shade of turquoise there!! See, Darren, I CAN appreciate modern appliances after all... LOL

Happy Val's Day!

How fun! I remember seeing this color several places when it was new, I love that it's called "Cornflower" like the Corning Ware pattern!

Awesome Valentine's Day Gift!!!

Beautiful machine! KA did that color right.

AND I love getting appliances for gifts!!! I don't care who delivers it!

You love the Kitchenaid for a brute force mixing and it will last a lifetime. Its good to see the turquoise is true to it's color. Here'a link for early release bowls. Kitchenaid was trying to keep a lid on them until summer at their own site.

Your Mother Here..

sweethearts, it looks like you've been glossing over your burner rings.

There is much to be said for dark porcelain-enameled burner bowls that go into the pyrolytic self-cleaning oven and the DW.
