    Can people with KA blenders and food processors join?????? I have mum's old Kenwood as a mixer and it is still great after 40 yrs so I can't justify the cost of a KA mixer but I do lust after one!!
    I am in love with my blender and food processor! They sit on the bench so I can admire them! I got black as it matches my oven and we haven't redone the kitchen yet so don't know what colour it will be.

    I love my KA! Mine is Pearl Metallic as it matches with our other stainless steel things.

    I haven't bought any attachments yet and get a little overwhelmed when trying to decide which one/s to buy first.

    Maybe I should just save up a whole heap of money and buy all the accessories in one hit

    I'm in!! I have the metallic red one! Makes the BEST pavlova ever

    I'm interested in getting the mincer and the pasta maker - heard that it's fantastic.

    I've got the candy apple red KA and have the ice cream bowl... I've made the vanilla bean ice cream from the book that came with it and it's gorgeous, am a little shocked at how much fat and sugar go into it though LOL.
    My next investment is going to be the grater set.

    Oooh, i'm joing in on the KA love too.
    I have the boysenberry one too. I have the 3 piece pasta roller attachment and the acessory kit thing which has the rotor slice, grinder and strainer. I made a potato bake for 15 people in december and it seriously sliced 20 potatoes in like 2 minutes!! Same with onions for the barbie, quick as! I have only had mine a month but already its become the most used appliance (besides the toaster and kettle) and i use it probably every 2nd day, sometimes twice a day. I got my attachments from amazon dot com for a whole lot cheaper then in australia. I also got a beater blade which scrapes the side of the bowl as it beats and whhhooooooah it makes quick icing

    My favourite thing i have made since my purchase has got to be Italian Meringue Butter Cream, OMG the most seriously delicous icing in the whole wide world. It took about 30 mins to make but so worth every damn second - i made chocolate flavour and even my dh wnted to lick the bowl and he isnt a sweets fan.

    Yesterday i made bread dough but then decided i wanted something more savoury so turned it into cheese, sundried tomato and chive scrolls with a few vegemite ones for ds. Yummo.

    I have tried to make pasta yet but its next on my list.

    The ice-cream attachment has been requested as a b'day present!

    I thought about attachments from Amazon - is postage as frighteningly bad as I suspect it is though?

    I jumped straight on Amazon when I read MrsB's suggestion.
    For the attachment package its $115 and for a cover less than $20. Haven't got as far to find out the postage.
