Ok, so i bought a KA - which attatchements do i need?

[MrsB26]

Choosing the colour was the hardest part
I knew i want boysenberry though but the price was making me re-think - if it didnt come up as in stock i probably would have paid the extra $50 elsewhere for it though just cause i really wanted that colour!
At that shop they are usually $630 but they are on special for some reason so i'm glad i nabbed one when i did.
Have fun and i hope you can get convince your DH!!!

I just bought mine! Thanks for that MrsB26... what a bargain! I ordered mine in Metallic Chrome. I can not wait to get receive it

Rouge - is it easy enough to make the pasta? i'm keen to make fresh, and looks like i have greenlight to get KA after house settles, but like MrsB26, i'm a little overwhelmed about attachments.
i really don't want to get a food processor but miss the one we had (mostly for grating/slicing and for grinding up roast meat for shepherds pie). our old food processor had a blender attachment too, which we used for ****tails (i MISS my ****tails!) - but the KA doesn't appear to have similar so i'm guessing i will need to buy a blender. trying to create some sort of budget before i go toooooooooooo nuts lol

MrsB26 - i love the boysenberry color but it won't work in my kitchen so i'm looking at something that will work with stainless/brushed stainless - i'm guessing probably one of the silverish ones or black/white. not sure. i do get caught in the oooooooooooh pretty factor with the colors, but i'm tryyyying to be practical lol

BG - I loved the Ice Blue or the Pink one, but I decided to go with what matches my kitchen which is why I got the Metallic Chrome one. I think it is pretty

hope they are still that price after house settles - i hate waiting when i can see a bargain (esp as the local HOUSE has just put their prices up to 779)

The KA blender is awesome BG!! Erin makes great smoothies and I use it for bread crumbs mixed with fresh herbs, biscuit bases heaps of things (and obviously for stroking LOL)

I have the metallic red one and just the attachments that came with it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Got it for my 30th too!!

Rouge - you've made me want to get all the other attachments now!!!

[mrsmac]

I wonder if I can backdate one for my 30th ??? Worth a try I guess!!

Awwww I'm sooooo happy to read the love with KA. I have a K5 (the semi commercial one) in empire red. The attachments I use the most are the Pasta press and the mincer. Those are my favourites. I know the pasta rollers are popular as well, but I prefer the pasta press ( I know Rouge may not possible agree...). My DD's both help when we make pasta in the press, the rollers are too complicated for them and they can't help right now.

I use my KA around 5 times a week I also use the rotor slicer shredder a bit when I can't be bothered dragging out the food processor to chop up and grate vegetables. Its easy to use and wash up.

Wow Dont they realise that people are never going to buy them from there if they arent just a little bit competative?
My kitchen is pretty neutral in colour so if we ever re-do it i'll just have to pick the colours basen on my KA

Lisa - wooohoo, congrats on your purchase, now we should get together and have KA cookoff parties!

PakRacMG - i love that red colour, is that the candy apple one? its sooo awesome!

Mrsmac - you are making me want to get the blender too but since i hardly use the one i have i might have to save up for the toaster although i do think that $300 for a toaster is pretty excessive, i mean it only toasts bread. Its not like it bakes it first too lol.

Nelle - i thought about getting another bowl and i probably will as lots of baking things require 2 lots of mixing and i hate washing up in the middle!

Has anyone bought any attatchments from America to use here? Stupid question but they would fit wouldnt they cause although the americans have different voltage things the actually rest of the machine would be the same wouldnt you think???I'm going to look into it and price shipping too and see if its much cheaper as i want so mant extra bits and pieces.

I have the special edition candy apple red that I got for my b'day but don't use it anywhere near enough. Thanks for all the ideas and sugggestions, MrsB26 I would think that the attachments would be the same but might be worth emailing KA to find out?
