Did yours come with a flex edge beater? Great attachment to have if it didn’t. Looking at their website they have a new style pastry beater as well. I just had mine out this weekend making a coconut pineapple cake for my friends birthday. Used the KitchenAid hand mixer and the Oster Kitchen Center too. Probably didn’t need to get everything out, but if one has the toys just as well use them!
I have Cobalt Blue. But I took it a step further. I also got the matching blender, Food Processor and Electric Hand Mixer. I also have a Kitchen Utensil set in Cobalt Blue. For offset colors I have the black and stainless steel coffee maker and toaster. They all go well together.
Shoutout for your Sunbeam Vista! I also have one and I love it (at least for use at home)
Kitchenaids are so sturdy and easy to use though, I can't imagine trying to mess with the bowl base on the Vista when I was baking for restaurants/coffee shops. Sounds like you scored a nice addition to your collection
I'll post pics, hopefully this week. I got the 'softscrape' paddle before. It's a great tool. I also have many of the 'attachments", including the ice cream maker. I first saw one at Chad's when we went to his home.
I do like the looks of the KitchenAid stand mixers. I haven't seen any in the thrift shops in quite a while, I see the Mixmasters pretty frequently though. I did score a newer K-A 3 speed hand mixer in storm gray at Goodwill a while back though, looked brand new.
