Yeah, I broke down and bought one last night...it should be here next week. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee....

Kitchenaids are the best.

Mine is my grams old one. She decided to get a new one same capacity and color. 

Mine is from the early 90s and Filenes Basement, i found the receipt a couple of years ago

We got ours as a wedding gift. It's an Artisan, so I don't believe we'll have much trouble using the external attachments.

And yes, I agree, they are the best. Makes baking so much better.

Ahhhhh, yes, I have the bowl lift instead of the tilt (means I can have it jammed against the wall and not worry about it hitting stuff).  Good knowing it's one of the front connector attachments (I always think they're a mix attachment).  I've been meaning to get a pasta attachment, tbh.  My cousin used it for pierogi dough last time I saw her and it cut down prep time sooooo much.  I think the main thing I need to buy first for my mixer is a pouring shield.  I'm really bad with pouring in my dry ingredients and end up getting stuff everywhere.

I had a pouring shield. I ended up throwing it away

Ive been covering the bowl with a towel lately to avoid all of the flour splatter lol

Really?  Why?  Pain to use/install/etc?  Genuinely curious.  As for using a towel...I'm terrified of it somehow getting caught in the mixing attachment ala some type of old timey comedy skit and my panic in the kitchen being recorded.

I couldn't comfortably use it and found no benefit. It was a waste of 20$

Same. Mine didn't fit well (or, at all) and it was just super clumsy to use.

Based on the reviews from people I trust, aka: youse guys, I'll stop looking at shields.  If they're difficult to use for you, that means they'll be doubly more difficult for me to use.

I don't have one, but I don't see a need for it. Splattered flour is all part of the experience.

I just hate the...'waste' of splattered flour going everywhere.  Yes, I know it's minimal, but there all my surfaces have that kinda weird thin-film all over.

I hate my pouring shield.  But could be user error.

So my wife hasn't been sleeping well. It happens sometimes, but I think this whole coronavirus situation is triggering her anxiety. I just ordered a weighted blanket for her; sshhh it's a surprise. She loves blankets and has been wanting to try a weighted blanket. And I'm hoping this will help her get some rest. 

 

[Tiger15]

It is really a pouring shield; I always thought it was more of a splatter shield. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

We have a shield, never even tried it. Reducing the open area seems counter-productive. I want more open area, not less. I just turn the speed down and add ingredients slowly to avoid splatter.

Also its a PITA to store

Ok, very weird thing, but we JUST got the same floor mat shown in your picture. Our son liked the owls.

Well, effective 4/11, we're all getting docked to 36 hours/week.  If we're 100% billable, then we're able to charge the remainder 4 hours on OT. As you can imagine....many of us aren't 100% billable at the moment.  

I'll be okay, and I'm grateful to have a job...but I got hired right before the recession and have never experienced anything like this before.  It's a little concerning.

Geez. Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be surprised if other companies start to follow suit...
