    Mine's "cranberry" - a dark pink. Very pretty to look at, but I usually keep a cover on it to keep it clean.

    I love using mine to shred chicken or pork (cook it in the crock pot and throw them in with the paddle attachment). I use mine to whip mashed potatoes too. Else it's mostly cookies and things I shouldn't be eating. :sunglasses:

    Red. I got it at my wedding shower 13+ years ago. It's never even been taken out of the box. To be honest, I don't even know where it is. Crawlspace, maybe?

    That would drive me crazy. I'd at least give it away or sell it.

    There would have to be a zombie apocalypse or something similar to get me into the crawlspace. LOL

    These are sooooooooo pretty, and I want one... but I can't justify it. Although I cook much more than I used to, I don't end up cooking that many things that require a mixer (or most of the other cool gadgets you can attach to the thing).

    Mine collects dust up high. Hard to find healthy recipes.
    I use my Ninja Mixer bowl to mix things now. Sometimes my food processor.

    Black which I chose, all of my countertop appliances are black and silver/chrome. I use it mainly to mix cakes and frosting as I make all my grandkids cakes for their birthdays.

    Mine is white and of unknown vintage. Friends had an "extra" in their cellar and gave it to me. Who has an extra KA mixer!!??!! I did not look a gift horse in the mouth and happily brought it home.

    Mine is white and 30 years old. I used it more when my kids were younger and we lived 30 minutes from a grocery store. I would bake bread 3 times a week plus other cooking. Currently use it for making bread dough, noodles, cookies, and birthday cakes.

    White... because it was the least expensive option.

    I have a vintage Hamilton Beach circa 1940's. Probably similar to @girlinahat's Kenwood. It's chrome and white and belonged to my grandmother. I should use it more than I do, but because it's not that pretty it sits in my corner appliance "garage" instead of on the counter.

    I've thought about getting a KA vanity mixer, but why? The old girl still works just fine. Great ideas on this thread, so I will dust it off and try it for guacamole or hummus next time.

    Healthy muffins! Fiber, blueberry, lemon, banana. Pinterest has lots of great healthy recipe options. I use it most to make banana bread muffins.

    I have a red artisan. No attachments. I want the pasta attachment but haven't sprung for it. I bake a lot and don't ever want to go back to doing without. I bought an extra bowl and that's been amazing during holiday to get
    Batches of cookies and frostings going more quickly!! Enjoy.
    Also, I can't say I've ever made anything "healthy" with it.
