Kitchen Blenders

Okay, probably from reading my older questions about appliances you are like, "PINK!?! I JUST ANSWERES A QUESTION ABOUT TEAL ONES!!!" Well, I have came to the conclusion that I am going to use PINK appliances. Now I need some help. Are these trusted brands/products that work well:

Pink Bar Blender By Waring $69.95 (I thought that this one sounded a little to cheap, even though it is only 2-speeded)

Pink Stand Mixer (5-qt.) Artisan By KitchenAid $299.95

Calphalon

Pink Food Processor (12-c.) Cook for the Cure® By KitchenAid $199.95

Wusthof

and

Le Creuset

Also, are the Rachael Ray Dot over Dot, Groovy Mums, and all of those trays and bowls and stuff useful? I am planing to have people over after remodeling my house, so I need some kind of durable stuff. Oh, and do people actually use her Garbage Bowl? They look useful, but then I think, "Would I remeber to actually USE it?" Thanks!
Also, could you tell me some websites to get pink appliances besides The Food Network Store and Williams-Sonoma?
Also, are these trusted and durable?

Chrome Bar Blender (56-oz.) By KitchenAid $129.95

Supreme Super 600 Blender (60-oz.) By Cuisinart $99.95

Chrome Food Processor (12-c.) By KitchenAid $199.95

I saw some stuff at Khols. Oh yeah the garbage bowl, saw that. You wouldn’t probably use is for garbage but it would get used for something.

Okay, here is the deal. I am remodeling my kitchen and am having a hard time deciding. Please give me your opinion. I am getting an artisan stand mixer by KitchenAid. Tangerine or pink? If it is tangerine, I will get a chrome KitchenAid food processor and blender. If it is pink, I will also get those, BUT I will get pink knives, spoons, cups, etc. I kinda don’t want to be stuck on one color, but I am asking your opinion. Not anyone elses, YOURS.
By the way, could you give me some color schemes for the tangerine?

I truly am a little adverse to pink, I would reconsider and maybe go for a dark green?
Green would go with tangerine OR pink but not look so… "girlie"? (Can’t quite find the right wording there). It may be a little to much of a much if you know what I mean, if you were to have too much pink.

Just my humble opinion, lol.

somebody in our friends work with kitchenaid and whirlpool and she told me if I buy any thing she can get in 40%off from kitchenaid. so I thought to buy kitchenaid food processer and immersion blender in 250 canadian dollars . (but she said she has to pick it up from kitchenaid outlet , so I got confused bcs I dont have any ideas about outlet, r they sell things like new or something with minor fault before asking her I want to ask u guys any ideas plz

Outlets are fine, just find out what the return policy is before you buy. I LOVE kitchenaid.

Our blender just died.

We usually use it for mixing up frozen margaritas or pina coladas. (The frozen Bacardi mixers are excellent, very convenient, and relatively lower calorie vs. other mixers. Half a blender of crushed ice, plop the stuff in, add the liquor, blend, pour… in less than 1 minute.)

We’ve made both from scratch too, but honestly for the work involved, the Bacardi mixers are just way too convenient. It’s all about the liquor anyway — we use good tequilla and a little Triple Sec with the margarita mix, and Captain Morgan for the pinas with a Bermuda rum / Black label Bacardi / coconut rum floater. Simply awesome. For a 2 minute prep time, can’t go wrong.

ANYWAY, we’re ready to go with a good blender. Something that will chop up the ice nice and quickly, is easy to clean, and lasts a long time.

Does anyone have experience with the Cuisinant bar blenders or Kitchenaid "pro" line? I don’t know if we want to spend $100+, only if it’s truly worth it.
We tend to mix them up on the spur of the moment… maybe once every 1 or 2 weeks. So that’s why we tend to avoid from scratch. YES, I know it’s better… but it’s just too much work and too much to keep "on hand" without it spoiling (especially the coconut milk, which gets all coagulated and is a real mess).

Waring is the brand most used in bars for blending drinks. I pasted a couple links below. The first one is more expensive, but if you do as many frozen beverages as you say, it will be worth it to spend the extra $$$ and get one that will last.

If you tend to make one beverage for the evening, there is a new machine out made by Oasis, who also makes a commercial machine for restaurants and bars. It makes larger batches of frozen drinks, like a slushie machine. It also runs about $150+, and I have never used one, so I can’t give you a decent recommendation on it.

I have worked in dozens of different bars and restaurants, so I can recommend the Waring blender.

I’m looking for a new gadget for my kitchen, and I’ve settled on an immersion blender. My research has led me to choose between either the KitchenAid KHB300 (http://www.amazon.com/…) or the Bamix Delux (http://www.cooking.com…). The KA would be $80, the Bamix would be $130.

The Bamix is the industry-accepted top of the line immersion blender. The KitchenAid is the runner up.

My question is addressed to any Bamix owners: Do the different blades really make any difference when performing different tasks? (like the whisk blade for mayo, the beater for smoothies, the mincer for soups, etc.) For those who have the KA; how does it perform with non-soup-blending activities?

I have the KA and like it just fine. The way I see it is that it’s a blender, and a counter top blender doesn’t have all those attachments, so why bother on a hand held one. I went with keeping it simple – didn’t want a bunch of attachments.
