@hellocupcake: I was told the 4.5 is fine for light baking & from what I've read you can fit a 5qt bowl on it if you wanted to get a replacement.

$281 for Kitchenaid Professional in Cinnamon color at Sears! It's a doorbuster and it's on sale now. You gotta get it now!
ETA: Nevermind. I thought the 'professional' part in the title meant it was the Pro series with the lift bowl instead of the tilt head. But now I'm confused by the online specs of the mixer. On the website it says it's a tilt head and not a bowl lift. So confused. The picture looks like it's a Pro.
I don't know if this is a bait and switch.

@bluestriped bee: I was just going to check this out! My dad wants one for Christmas. I'm confused because it says it's regularly 299.99? I'm not sure which one they're offering!
hostess / wonderful apple seed / 16729 posts
@Pepper: It's only the cinnamon color that is on sale for 281. I think for other colors it's 299.

@bluestriped bee: I'm gonna say it's the Artisan. The pro comes with a 6 qt bowl, Artisan with the 5, & classic with the 4.5
We got mine from Kohls tonight $297 with a final total of $247 after the $50 mail in rebate... and I have the 6% ebate too (whatever that comes to & if I did it right).

@runsyellowlites: Ah, good to know. Thanks! Yeah, the Sears photo is very misleading. The photo has those hooks for the bowl while I know the Artisan 4.5 and 5 qt has straight sides.

@runsyellowlites: I got the exact same deal! Pretty excited, my dad will be thrilled.
Also pumped about the $75 in Kohls cash.

@Pepper: Technically it's my gift from my mom & dad so *they* get the Kohl's cash & rebate. I'm just glad to be getting the mixer!!!! lol
pomelo / 5820 posts
@runsyellowlites: Haha, it's a great gift! I have a reallyyy old one (10+ years old), but it still does the trick. They last forever.

@Pepper: That makes me super happy to hear! I'm so excited to finally have one!.. well in a few weeks. lol
hostess / wonderful apple seed / 16729 posts
@Pepper: @runsyellowlites: I, also, got the kohl's deal! Can't wait for it to come. I did however buy two and I'm going to return the first one I got. My delivery guy is going to hate me for having to deliver two of those! Oops. I'll make sure to give him a tip or something.

@bluestriped bee: Lol... its not THAT heavy. I should think your delivery guy is thankful to have so many deliveries to make... keeps him employed
hostess / wonderful apple seed / 16729 posts
@sunny: How heavy is it? I don't have one so I have no idea.
ETA: Oh, I just looked. It's only 26 lbs! I thought it was 70 lbs or something. I don't know why I thought it would be so heavy. Oh, yeah the delivery guy should be fine.

For those with Sams club around I JUST saw the KA Pro listed for $249 (free shipping) PLUS a $50 mail in rebate.
I can't believe I jumped the gun & missed this deal! Gah!
coconut / 8430 posts
@runsyellowlites: So odd... the picture is for the "Pro" but the description doesn't match what I would expect. The Pro usually has a 6 qt bowl and 575 watt motor. The Artisan usually has a 5 qt bowl and 375 watt motor.
The Sam's Club one has a 5 qt bowl and 475 watt motor. So its somewhere in between! I wouldn't be surprised if it is a Sam's Club exclusive.

I got mine today! Yay!! let the holiday baking begin! (:
Thanks again for posting the deal, @sunny:

@AngelicOne: @hellocupcake: Have you decided what you are going to make first with your mixer? I went grocery shopping today and got a little excited in the baking section!
@Alivoo01: Did you end up getting one? I don't shop at Kohl's often but I think I can find clothes or a new purse with the Kohl's cash. If nothing stands out, I can use it towards some accessories for my new mixer, like an extra bowl or something.
persimmon / 1050 posts
@bluestriped bee: I have no clue what I want to make first. I have so many recipes I've found on Pinterest that look good. Need to look at them again & pick one.

@bluestriped bee: I have it all set up and ready to go but I'm being silly and waiting for next week to make LO's birthday cake as the first official thing made with my awesome mixer! I might break down and just bake a cake this week, I'm dying to see it in action and what a difference (if any) it will make. (: let us know what you make! Ps. I'm also already looking at attachments...a can opener?! What? This thing does everything (:
hostess / wonderful apple seed / 16729 posts
@hellocupcake: A can opener attachment? Wow, I've never heard of that one. Need to go look at all the attachments.
I am looking for a cover for my mixer and I found some nice colorful ones on Etsy. Plus, with it being cyber monday, some of them are on sale!

@hellocupcake: Aww that is totally cute
I think it makes a huge difference... when we first started using ours, it made making cakes so much easier!

@AngelicOne: @hellocupcake: @runsyellowlites: @Pepper: So if you guys got the Kohl's cash, you can go redeem it online now. You need to find the Kohl's cash email that they sent you with the code to redeem. Plus, you can save 20% off with the code CYBERSAVE and if you use ebates you can get 8% cash back (usually it's just 3%).

@bluestriped bee: Thanks for the reminder! I think I'll head to Kohl's tomorrow & return the first one & spend my Kohl's cash. Yay for new clothes!
hostess / wonderful apple seed / 16729 posts
@AngelicOne: @hellocupcake: @runsyellowlites: @Pepper: So my kitchen aid mixer has been delivered!!! Yay!
Just want to remind you all that the $50 kitchen aid rebate form needs to be completed by Jan 24, 2014. You need the UPC from the box and the packing slip or receipt.

@bluestriped bee: Yay! I got mine yesterday. Still need to decide what to make first though. Thanks for the reminder about the rebate. Need to fill that out tonight.
persimmon / 1171 posts
@bluestriped bee: yay, thank you! Ps. Thanks to this I have my Christmas shopping DONE! We went to khols and knocked out the last 4 people. We couldn't pass on 20% off plus 00 dollars off (: yay!

@bluestriped bee: @AngelicOne:
Don't forget to photocopy your rebate info! That has saved my butt before.
hostess / wonderful apple seed / 16729 posts
@AngelicOne: @hellocupcake: @runsyellowlites: @Pepper:
Another reminder to get the rebate out. You got 10 days to mail out the rebate!! This is, also, a reminder for me to do it when I get home.
pomelo / 5820 posts
@bluestriped bee: You are awesome, thanks for the reminder! I have the upc sitting on my counter...
hostess / wonderful apple seed / 16729 posts
@Pepper: Doh! Of course, I didn't do it last night. Ugh! Need to remember.
