“Thank you so much to my great-grandparents, who purchased quality goods.”

"Got my Kitchen Aid in 1979. It’s still working well."

"I bought my KitchenAid mixer used and broken for five dollars at a restaurant auction. It even came with a brand new planetary gear that had not been installed. I took it apart and greased up all the gears inside. I have been using it for going on eight years with no problems."

"Doubling down on the KitchenAid Mixer — I inherited my mother's. She worked for Hobart in the '60s and bought it with her company discount; she never told me how much she paid, but I have it now, and it is still going strong. Everything from mixing up beef for meatballs to cookies!"
