Decorating and Magnolia ..... never featured until it went on T.V. and everyone thought you have to refurbish everything every year.
My house is like a museum. I'm clean warm and cosy and owe no one anything ......
Keep your fancy kitchens and bathrooms...... mine work ..... and you'd call em retro ...... snort ! |

I can never fathom this either! More expensive than large appliances.
I am going to give in and buy a pale blue one eventually. I've never seen bake off but it's the last bit I need to recreate my Mrs Maisel kitchen, so just as easily influenced  ! I think I've made 2 cakes in my life...but I'm sure that's just because I don't have a pretty mixer. |

That’s how I justify it. I don’t bake because I don’t have the mixer. If I had a pretty mixer I would become a 1950s housewife. |

I don’t like baking so I’d only use it to do some mean pizza Dough so I can’t justify the price and just get my hands dirty when I want to make homemade pizza  |

"So the consensus is “it’s not worth it”  Back to “hand job”"
I dunno. What I heard was 'stupidly expensive and you'll never use it' versus 'soooooo pretty' and the second part won  |

There are cheaper versions, generally noisier and may not last as long or cope with much. I've wanted one for years but I can't justify the price for the amount I'll use it.
I guess I'll be sticking to my electric hand mixer. |

I’ve got my eye on one on Amazon, currently just over £100 with £80 off. It is a mixer that also comes with a meat grinder, blender, dough hook, whisk, beater and attachments to make pasta and sausages. Deals are around |

I've started with a cheap one at £77, as I don't bake that much now and I might not get on with it.
It does help a lot but my small amount of baking doesn't warrant paying hundreds of pounds for one.

I especially couldn't warrant one now.
