Hearth & Hand KitchenAid

[whiskeytails]

As many have with COVID, I've spent more time in the kitchen than ever before. I have also spent all of my "going out" money on decorating parts of my home that I've ignored for a long time. I am become slightly obsessed with the Hearth & Hand line from Target.

So much so, I can't even tell if I want this KitchenAid only because of the name. I can't tell if I love this color or secretly hate it.

Thoughts on the color? Thoughts on this type of KitchenAid? I only own a $20 handmixer from Walgreens that I got as a gift when graduating from college.

I LOVE the color.  And I am tempted to sell my big Kitchenaid to put this one in my new kitchen.   I am just worried that it might clash as our Kitchen will have green island that is more lighter in color.  (PPG Paints Lottery Winnings is what the island will be painted).

That's a gorgeous color, but you might want to check out this post on ML about mixers:  pandce.proboards.com/thread/622885/bakers-kitchen-stand-mixer-upgrade

I have had a bunch of problems with my KA Artisan mixer, and didn't realize how common that is.  It's gotten a lot worse lately, but I was never 100% satisfied with the head-tilt model.

I am splurging on an upgrade to a 7 qt. Pro Line this holiday season.  It's not entirely necessary, the Pro 600 would probably have been fine, but I will enjoy it.  I would really recommend considering at least jumping up to the Pro 600 bowl-lift if you are going to get a mixer.  The Pro 600 comes in some pretty colors too, although not the exact one you're into of course.  My dad has a Pro 600 with bowl-lift and I like it so much better.  I would never buy a head-tilt Artisan again.

I love the color/matte, it's sort of natural/industrial looking like a lot of H&H stuff. I've always wanted a kitchenaid, but if I splurged for one, I'd probably go with the glossy retro version in a fun color because that's what I've always envisioned. My mom has one and I love using it but don't have the counterspace or bake enough to justify it. You definitely need to treat yo'self to a new mixer!

I have a KitchenAid and love it. I strongly prefer the bowl lift.

Mine is a matte black and I’m really happy I chose it. We’re now in our 3rd house with it. It’s not trendy and fun, but I love that it’ll always match everything. I don’t think they last quite as long as they used to, but my mom has one that I think is 30+ years old (I’m pretty sure it’s actually much older as it was old when I was a kid and I’m 40). Lots of colors have been in and out of style since then! Mine is almost 15 years old and showing no signs of slowing down.
