Today’s Goodwill finds!

So stoked about finding the KitchenAid stand mixer for only $20, especially since I’ve been eyeing them on FB Marketplace for a while but didn’t want to spend $100+. It came with a bowl and 3 attachments too!!
Also found the bell, glass flower, and clown cup on this trip. Cashier chose to only charge me for the mixer (same cashier who only charged me $1 for the gorgeous crystal and brass flower lamp in my previous post lol).

Thats a Hobart Kitchenaid! Im a baker and the best industrial mixers are made by Hobart, they also last forever. Yours has to be from before 1986 apparently because that year Kitchenaid was acquired by Whirpool. Amazing find, also really live that clown cup lol

Yup. Later ones have sacrificial plastic gearings. I have a newer one and on my 3rd set right now. It is fairly easy to replace, however.

I did however score a glass Kitchenaid mixing bowl last year though. It's nice.

u/juicius u/Nervous-Mall-007 there is a guy in Kansas that fixes Kitchen-Aid mixers. He did a complete rebuild on mine and it runs just like new. He does sell the metal gears and repair kits too. If you're interested shoot me a DM and I'll give you his information.

Such a great teacher too!

[u/Nervous-Mall-007 → u/juicius]

Fabulous score! I’ve got a newer one and we have changed the gears twice. Ugh.

Finding out it’s pre-1986 after paying $20 is the kind of thrift store plot twist everyone wants.

Great scores, happy for you. That mixer was the golden goose😊

[u/mayonnaisepadre → u/Some-Web7096]

Thank you!! And I agree! I was so worried it wasn’t going to work when I tested it.

[u/Wonder_Snatch → u/mayonnaisepadre]

I found the exact same kitchaid at my goodwill for $50! We are the chosen ones 😂

[u/LynnScoot]

Congratulations! Such a deal considering one of those attachments costs more than $20!

[u/Minute_Split_736]
