Hi vintagekitty, Sunbeam ( dont touch them) Kenwood and Kitchenaid all have the red mixers. The standard red in Kitchenaid is called "Empire Red" - they also do "candy apple red" which is their 90th anniversary model and has a slightly metallic look to it - looks just like a toffee apple red.

just out of interest. . I see a lot of the more expensive mixers with bowls etc on trademe for sale. . I'm a handmixer person. . but interest is piqued as to whether it is worth investing in one. .

Nothing wrong with my Sunbeam. . I had one of the originals (mixmaster) that lasted 30 years. . and then the only reason I had to replace was because I couldnt get a new bowl for it! the motor went on to power something "manly" out in the shed. . I have the metal body 'newer' one . . got it 10 years ago and its thrashed by me, goes hard and strong. . ideal cake mixer if thats all your after (ie u dont want all the fancy stuff the kenwoods come with)

Well I only had my Sunbeam for a couple of days before it broke down... . maybe the old ones are ok but I too would not touch any Sunbeam. Even now, after going for repair, goes with the off button on!

Do you really buy by colour rather than specs? You are pulling our leg - right?

I wouldnt touch the plastic fantastics of anything... but the metal body ones are fine (well they were when I re-bought)
its a bit like saying. . dont buy a Subaru, Dont buy a Mazda. . , . oh I wouldnt touch a Ford with a ten foot flag pole... etc

Vintagekitty I couldn't live without my 30+ year old Kenwood - has justifed the expense athousand times. It's still going strong but over the years the whisk had distorted and eventually broke recently. felt quite bereft until I found the right model on TM last week. I bought my student daughter the same model on here a couple of years ago and her all male flatmates appreciate its output very much.

Sunbeam and kenwoods from 30 years ago are VERY different from the new versions I am sorry to say. As for wanting red - yep, if VK wants red, then that is fine - she will find a great mixer with great "specs" uli in red or green or white or black or chrome or tangerine or brushed nickel or pink and quite a number of other colours to boot.
