...isn't she beautiful? All bright and shiny and solid. Look at what she has under the hood:- 575 Watt Motor
- Bowl-Lift Design
- 6-Quart Polished Stainless Steel Wide-Mouth Bowl with Contoured Handle
- Soft Start Mixing Feature
- Direct Drive Transmission, All-Steel Gears, and All Metal Construction
- Commercial Style Motor Construction
- Includes PowerKnead Spiral Dough Hook, Flat Beater, and Stainless Steel Wire Whip
- Elegant, Satin Pearl Finish
"Equipped with a high-performance, professional-level motor, the Professional 600™ Series mixer can effectively mix up to 14 cups of all-purpose flour per batch. Powerfully churns through yeast bread dough and triple batches of cookie dough." [That doesn't even mention the pasta-maker attachment!]
Honestly, what is not to love about this baby? As you can imagine, such a well -equipped machine has a list price of $499, certainly not an insignificant amount. After many years of dreaming, I've decided I'd really like to make my dream a reality this year, so I've opened an ING-direct sub-account specifically for her. I figure if I put $25 from every one Superman's paychecks into this account, I can bring her home to live with us for Christmas! [I'm also trying to find more places I can trim the budget so that my dream doesn't interfere with any of our other goals.]
You know, if you haven't done it, ING-direct accounts are painless ways to save for things. They are free, and they let you have a number of sub-accounts so you can save for specific things. We have a Christmas account, a Car account, a savings account, and now, a Dream Machine account. (No, I don't get anything for telling you this...I just think it is an awesome way to save because it is FDIC insured and it is out-of-sight, out-of-mind savings.)
For now, I'll keep using my awesome Kitchenaid hand-held mixer, but I am sure dreams can and do come true...this year will be the year for my Dream Machine. So, what are you saving for? Dreams are a good thing...did I mention I'm already dreaming about 2010s Dream Machine?

Wow! She is a beauty. You should kick it up to $30.
My Kitchen Aid used to belong to my mother-in-love. It's very old but is still kicking! Good for you for setting a goal to save for. We are saving for a vacation in a few years.
I just got this exact dream machine in December off ebay new for $50 less than retail and free ship. LOVE IT. LOVE IT. LOVE IT.
Darla, we're obviously twins! momstheword...baby steps, right? Clark, $30? I don't think so...
My baby is the slightly smaller size but it works just as well. The only thing different really is the bowl, it isn't on the lift mechanism. I love it and the attachment are the coolest. Next up the pasta machine attachment.
