The venerable
KitchenAid KSM7586 Pro Line 7 quart mixer with 1.3 hp DC high torque motor is on
CLOSEOUT on the
kitchenaid.com website for
$499.99 with FREE SHIPPING
until midnight March 29th in all three colors (Red,
White and Silver). There is also a
10% coupon available from KitchenAid when you sign up for a Kitchenaid.com account (and your return period is extended to 60 days from the standard 30 days as well!)
This brings your total price to about $450 before tax for what has been KitchenAid's most powerful residential service mixer.
According to what I have been told by a KitchenAid representative, the Pro Line 7 quart mixer is being discontinued and will be replaced by the new KSM70 mixer, which is also a 7 quart mixer but comes with a new designed AC (NOT DC) motor. The new AC motor in the KSM70 is a much better design than any of the earlier AC powered KitchenAid mixers to date, but it simply cannot compete with the proven DC motors in the Pro Line 7 quart and the Commercial 8 quart mixer when it comes to raw torque. This can be important if you are planning to use your mixer often to make large amounts of bread doughs, for example. Bottom line is that in my opinion, while the KSM70 is a step up from the older AC powered mixers such as the Professional 600, it is a step down from the Pro Line and the Commercial KSM8990 when it comes to the torque delivered by the motor.
The ProLine 7 quart mixer includes:
(1) 7 Quart Stainless Steel Bowl
(1) Coated Flat Beater
(1) Coated Metal PowerKnead™ Dough Hook
(1) Stainless Steel 11-Wire Whip
(1) Pouring shield
5 year Kitchenaid warranty
While the KSM70SN and the Commercial KitchenAid mixers include ALL stainless steel accessories, the Pro Line includes only a stainless steel wire whip. However, don't let this distract your focus from this deal! If you prefer the stainless accessories, you can buy the stainless steel dough hook and the stainless steel flat beater separately with the money you save and STILL be ahead of the game with cash to spare, AND have a much more powerful mixer to boot!
From what I was told by KitchenAid, once the existing stock of Pro Line mixers is gone, they're gone. The only large capacity KitchenAid mixer with the high torque DC motor going forward will then be the Commercial KSM8990 8 quart mixer, which sells for $800. If you have been contemplating upgrading to a more powerful, large capacity KitchenAid mixer, and value a high power torque motor, this might be good time to snag one of KitchenAid's most powerful mixers for $450 (plus tax) with FREE SHIPPING with a 60 day return period (and free return shipping).

I usually just use the paddle mixer if there's chunks.

Thin stuff is okay, but even something thin getting whipped can get caught on there. Any thicker batter gets all stuck in it and is a pain to get out.
After you create an account, you can also try putting the item in your cart and leaving it there for several hours (or sometimes a day or two) and they often send you the coupon to try and get you to pull the trigger on your purchase.

If you are on the fence between getting a Professional 600 and waiting for the KSM60 to release, then I would wait. If you want to get a DC motor KitchenAid model and don't want to splurge for the Commercial 8qt, this will likely be your last chance outside of the used market.
EDIT: No clue why OPs post is being downvoted. $450 is a VERY solid price for a ProLine 7qt. The only reason I can think of is people who assume that because it looks similar to the much cheaper Professional 600 (also on close out) that it is the same on the inside. The reality is, this mode is TOTALLY different on the inside and beats the pants off the Professional 600 in pretty much every single way.

I don't down vote, but I dont think its a great deal. they used to sell the refurbished KSM7581 (i.e. physically the same as this one, just with a shorter warranty) for $280 before 15% coupon. close to half the price of the "closeout" price.

I would not be able to use it much but after cb it would be $300 for me ($150 cb) so just curious if there is enough room for profit.
