A:AnswerNo new. I bought one on Best Buy Black Friday week. Great price by Best Buy $189. Could not pass it up. Price only offered on 4 colors though. Best Buy has some of the best deals and I feel save buying products from them. Buying from the big guy on the internet so many sellers are third parties. Sometimes good sellers, sometimes questionable products. I never worry about that when buying from Best Buy..
A:AnswerHI Jesica, The 120 volt (U.S.) appliances are not compatible with 220/240 volt requirements of other countries (as well as vice versa).
What many consumers are not aware of is the potential danger that differences in cycles/second can create. Where in the United States electricity is delivered at 60 Hertz (Hz), most other countries deliver the electricity at 50 Hz. Running 60 Hz appliances in a 50 Hz environment forces the motor in your appliance to run at a slower speed, and can potentially cause immediate motor or operational failure. Not only is this failure not covered by any manufacturer's warranty, but has been known to result in electrical shortages and/or fires.
Additionally, KitchenAid does not recommend the use of a transformer for any KitchenAid countertop appliance. Doing so could cause damage to your appliance or the home electrical system, as noted above.
A:AnswerI couldn't find just the "metallic" color for this model. So I assume, it means "metallic chrome" color.
Also, there is Custom Metallic® Series 5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer's model on the official KitchenAid web site you might be interested in.
A:AnswerThe last two letters of the model's name mean the color.
So, they are the same models of different colors.
There are some examples:
AP - Apple Cider
WM - Watermelon
WH - White
ER - Empire Red
CE -Copper Pearl
IB - Ink Blue
A:AnswerThis item was free to either the address or in store. Always choose in store for a delivery for an item like this (weight/shape/size). When you choose in store delivery it is less likely to arrive damaged and in much better condition as opposed to using a traditional carrier who will toss it around.
