Bought A New Mixer
I decided to buy a new stand mixer. The one I have now is a Kitchen Aid, bowl lift, with some extra attachments. I consered Bosch, and others, but decided on the Viking. I never used Viking. Anyone own one? Now have to decide who gets my Kitchen Aid. Am considering my stepson's wife in NY, or my friend in FL.
I own a 7qt. Viking, I haved used it for about 1 1/2 years, so far so good, I generally bake bread 1-2 times weekly and have had no problem.
Thanks for your input. Hopefully, I'll get it by next week.
I did the same thing. I had the 7qt Kitchen Aide with the bowl lift (actually I regretted it the day after I bought it, but it was good enough to burn out rather quickly) so I purchased the 7 qt Viking and have not looked back ever since.
I hope that you enjoy the new Viking and have the same pleasurable experience that I have had with mine.
I also had a hand held mixer by Kitchen Aid, which I used two or three times. The last time I tried to use it it didn't work, and of course, the waranty had just run out a month before. I called Kitchen Aid and hoped they would work with me to replace it, but they didn't so I bought a Cuisinart since I have had such good luck with their products, and with the service. I wasn't all that satisfied with the bowl lift mixer at all but at least it works. I should be getting my new mixer sometime next week. Got free S&H, plus free blender attachment.
