The daddy mama of all mixers! The KitchenAid 7 Quart Mixer. I am so excited to be kicking of our Countdown to Black Friday event with such an amazing product. I’ve said time and time again here at Shibley Smiles that I am not a cook, however baking is not cooking. I enjoy baking! I’ve always enjoyed making cookies, cakes, bread, etc. during the holidays. I even decorated a cake one year for my mother for Mother’s Day with flowers and all. I’m excited this year to be able to do all my mixing and baking with my brand new KitchenAid Mixer.
What is even more exciting is I get to give one of these mixers away to one of YOU! This would make an excellent present for yourself or even for a family member if you are already lucky enough to own your own. The KitchenAid Mixer I received is Candy Apple Red which just screams “use me”!

While taking a test drive on this baby I found some features that I thought were unique, fun, and innovative and wanted to share them with you. (1) I love the way you can crank the handle on the side and raise the bowl up and down. Both the handle and (2) locating pins on the side of the bowls help keep the bowl fastened into place so it will not move while you are using the mixer. I’ve had a bowl or two fly out of my hands when using a standard hand mixer.
I also really love the pouring chute, this is a great way to add ingredients into the mixer without making a mix. For example many times adding flour to a mix gives you a big cloud of flour The chute along with a protective shield over the bowl helps cut down on the mess. The additional attachment hub allows you to turn your mixer into more then just…well…a mixer. You can purchase additional attachments such as the pasta or grinder. Turn your mixer into a one man show!
The KitchenAid 7 Quart Mixer consists of 10 different speeds in these settings: stir, slow mixing, mixing/beating, beating/creaming, fast beating/whipping, and fast whipping. A booklet full of useful information is included with your mixer from care and cleaning instructions to mixing tips. You will find useful information on kneading bread and other break making tips, egg whites, and whipped cream. The booklet also introduces you to some of the attachments I mentioned above that you can purchase for your mixer.
On a personal level for me this mixer brings back a lot of memories. My grandmother use to have a mixer that I can only assume was a KitchenAid stand mixer. I remember how it looked and how she baked with it. I remember exactly where it went on the counter and how it looked. When I see my KitchenAid Mixer sitting on my counter I can’t help but smile and remember baking with my grandmother when I was a little girl.
Shibley Smiles Review Opinions:
Price: As I’m sure you well know the price of the KitchenAid Mixers is not cheap. I know that throughout the year you can find them on sale and I hope that is true for the holidays.
Quality: The quality is above excellent. This mixer is a lifer, it should last you for many, many years. It is made out of sturdy metal and very well put together it is the king of mixers.
Recommendation: We definitely recommend this mixer if you are in the market for a high end, good quality mixer.

Too nice! Love this.
I have wanted a KitchenAid stand mixer since I knew what they were. I have been cooking and baking – mostly baking – for about 15 years now, and since I’m not yet 30 – well, that’s quite a large chunk of my life! I have been trying to afford this for the past 4-5 years but, every time I get the funds – another bill comes up. Winning a giveaway for one of these would be SO awesome! A dream come true, in fact…
Great giveaway, been wanting one for awhile now!
What a great giveaway!
Really enjoyed your site, thanks!

Thanks for hosting the awesome giveaway! Every woman who loves to cook or bake should have a kitchenaid mixer! I grew up using my mom’s- they are the BEST!

thanks for hosting and Kitchen Aid for sponsoring! What a great treat someone is going to have to make holiday dinners!

I think the prize is fantastic, not real impressed with attempting to force me to ‘tweet’ about anything…Especially since I do not believe ‘instantaneous contact’ is a mandatory portion of life (remember actually speaking to people in person???)
dreaming of all the goodies I can make with this mixer…
I would absolutely love to win this mixer! I would be like a man with a new power tool revving it up!
I like the kitchen aid 13 cup food processor christine ann burd seaburd at comcast.net

Thanks for this info!! And thank you for this Awesome giveaway!
I have loved and bought Tyson products for years. I can’t wait to try these mini chicken sandwiches. They will be perfect to grab when we are on the go, and my son needs a little something to take the edge off, but not fill him up to much, when he has practice. Thanks for the info.

My grandma (“Abuelita”) moved my dad & 7 siblings (2 biological & 5 she was raising after her sister died in childbirth)) her by herself from Colombia, South America when he was nine. To support their family, she baked and cleaned houses. They worked hard for that ‘American Dream’. She had always wanted a nice mixer so when she could she bought one. She baked so much she went through several over the years. The year she passed away I asked my mom if I could have my ‘Abuelita’s’ mixer- she said we could share. I had started baking a lot, so borrowing it became kind of an inconvenience since we live several hours away from each other. So, a few years ago, my parents bought me a standard stand KitchenAid mixer. I tried to keep my Abuelita’s but my mom wasn’t up for that so she let me have Abuelita’s bowl and the little knob from the top where all the attachments can be changed. Abuelita’s mixer is like a ring or piece of jewelry that you would inherit from a loved one who has passed. It’s aging and the first two gears don’t work so you have to be extra careful when using it, but it’s still hers and that’s what makes it special and makes us feel she’s still w/ us even though it’s been almost 10 years since she passed away.
I have used my mixer quite a bit and it is on the fritz and has lost it’s Stir/2nd settings. So, winning this mixer would be wonderful!
. Thank you for the opportunity!
I really want a KitchenAid Stand Mixer!

The red stand mixer is awesome!
I would love to win the KitchenAid 7 Quart Mixer and the 2 Slice One-Touch Motorized Life Control Toaster with LCD Display!
I have been entering online contests to win KitchenAid Mixers for nearly twenty years. When my first daughter was getting married I did win some gift certificates to a major department store so I bought her one because she did not get one as part of her wedding gifts. Several months later I actually won one but my younger daughter was so jealous when I gave the one to her older sister that I gave it to her. That was over five years ago and I would really like to have one myself for all of the Christmas baking I do. I can’t do any of the heavier breads with my old mixer because it does not have enough power. Having an Ohio made KitchenAid Mixer would be a real help for me to prepare my baked goods that I use as gifts to friends and family every Christmas.
Good morning. Going shopping in a few minutes. I know I’m going to see some Kitchen Aid products, but I’m holding off purchasing anything on this beautiful Black Friday, ‘cos I’m hoping to win this awesome giveaway ;o) Happy shopping guys.
