Canadian Tire has a 425W 5-quart bowl Kitchenaid Stand mixer on sale (ending today) for $287 down from $499. I've wanted one for a while, but it's a lot to spend, even on sale. Does anyone here have one and how useful do they find it? I'm thinking about starting to make my own bread, and I make a lot from scratch, so I was also going to use it for dough for pizza, meat pies and pies, and probably baking.
They also have a 3-piece attachment set, reg $199 on for $99 and there's a $20 rebate (online I think). The set has a slicer, sausage stuffer, and grinder. Again, the sale ends today.
Thanks for the input.
OMG! lol i have been wanting one so so long! I might just have to go check it out! Thanks for the heads up! Sorry i got excited there lol

I have one and it gets alot of use...Yesterday I made pie dough (for apple pie and meat pies) I made bun dough..2 days ago I made pizza dough...it is fantastic for as long as there is electricity...lol ..you will not find a better price!...I don't use those attachments but there are others you can purchase (I have a manual pasta maker but they have an attachment for it) so it is a good machine!...Also it gets all the dough in the bowl and so it is better than the cheap ones you have to spatula ingredients into the center.
It's been on my want list for a long time too - I bought one a few weeks ago. It was going to get it's inaugural run tomorrow but I've come down with the flu. I have high hopes for bread dough as well!!

I bought my wife one a couple of years ago and she says that she would not want to be without it.
It is a fantastic unit with a great many useful attachments that even I find myself working with it.
The price that you say Canadian Tire has sounds like a great one and personally, I would scoop it up in a heart beat.

I have the Profession 600, since we use them in class. Costco had them on real cheap, so it was a good birthday. It has good power, and can add on a bunch of different attachments. I love it.
I have the kitchenaid professional 12 cup mixer.
it works like a dream.
the only thing that bogs it down in the slightest is my 4 loaf bread recipe. but just take it slow and you're good.
I do everything in it.
