The cost of purchasing a KitchenAid stand mixer can be overwhelming.
However, there are two things to consider when buying a refurbished KitchenAid
stand mixer. First off, by
considering purchasing a KitchenAid stand mixer you should have already decided
that you would have a use for this product.
So, the trick is to divide the cost of your KitchenAid mixer divided by
about twenty years. This is the
amount of time (if not longer) that your KitchenAid mixer will last.
Due to the outstanding durability that is synonymous with a KitchenAid
stand mixer, this is one piece of kitchen equipment that is going to last a long
time. So, by dividing the cost of a
mixer, say three hundred dollars, by twenty years you come out with an expense
of fifteen dollars a year. Divide
this by the twelve months in a year and you are paying approximately $1.25 every
time you use your mixer if you use it only once a month.
At that rate it seems like a much more manageable expense.
The second thing to consider when it comes to finding the KitchenAid stand mixer that is right for your needs is the fact that you might not have to buy a new one. Many places sell refurbished KitchenAid stand mixers. Now this doesn’t mean that you go buy a KitchenAid mixer from a garage sale, not knowing what the real condition of the equipment is. Refurbished means that the mixer has been reconditioned by the manufacturer, in this case a KitchenAid factory, to a “like new” condition. These often include shorter warranties, such as a six-month warranty.
What this means is that, for whatever reason, this machine was returned to the company after a customer purchased it. Maybe this is because the motor burnt out or another piece of the KitchenAid stand mixer was defective. The factory would replace the part, make sure that the refurbished KitchenAid mixer was up to snuff and then would sell it to the consumer at a lower cost. Oftentimes you can find a refurbished KitchenAid stand mixer for a third or even up a half off the original price. Of course you may be taking a gamble on buying a refurbished piece of equipment but at the end of the day you will be saving a lot of money. And, in the vast majority of cases your refurbished KitchenAid mixer will last just as long as a brand-new KitchenAid stand mixer for the simple fact that it has been refurbished by the factory and not fixed up in somebody’s home garage. Kitchenaid sells directly online to consumers and warranties their rebuilt stand mixers for a full 6 months. So, you are getting an exceptional value and safety for far more than the usual 30 or 90 days that many manufacturers warranty rebuilt products for.
