My girlfriend has one of these.

She absolutely loves it. I don't know much about them and how they compare with other mixers though.
I've had a go myself when making some yorkshire puds and it's a very solid machine.

Good to hear the positive feedback about it Pete. Think I'll go for http://www.johnlewis.com/231287550/Product.aspx as the glass jar seems more practical? Do they all come with 5yr warranties, or is it just John Lewis that offer that?

Just had a quick look at it seems you may get a standard 2 year cover or £40 for 5 years. John Lewis looks to give 5 years as standard.
Cheers mate - John Lewis it is! Let's hope they have one in stock!
My Mum got the same one but in cream for xmas. It is a very well built machine, she uses to knead bread a lot as it can be painful for her by hand and it does do a good job. It was bought in JL as well which included the extended warranty.
I got my girlfriend a KitchenAid for Christmas from JL. Superbly built, real tank like feel to it. There was a promotion on, so the mixer came with the metal bowl and I sent away to get the glass bowl FOC - I don't think she has used the glass one yet. There's been plenty of cakes done in the metal one though 
Are you anywhere near a JL store? If so, you can possibly beat them down on a price little if a high-street retailer (eg Harts of Stur) is cheaper. IIRC, JL don't price match against online only sellers though. I think I got the JL in-store price down by £20 to £30. Harts list the warranty as being a 5 year KitchenAid, so maybe that is standard?

Yes. I thought it's best she knew her place as soon as the marriage starts

I have just rung JL and they have one in stock with the glass bowl (she can always buy the metal one later one if she needs it). I am familiar with the 'never knowingly undersold' policy, and we can always do this at a later date, as it think it's within 30 days of purchase. Just want it reserved, bough and wrapped. They are ringing me back once they sort it all out for me.
That was easier than I thought...
Mixer jealousy. That is all I have to add
I think I upset half my GFs department at work when she told them what I'd got her
All bought! They are wrapping it all up for me and I can collect it tonight! Winner! Now...who can I price match against? Is Harts of Stur a physical shop, as John Lewis will only match against them if they have a shop I think...anyone else I could match against?

Yes, I'd used Harts to price match against when in JL Cheadle, though there was a KitchenAid rep' in store that day [1] who confirmed things.
Cool, thank you for that. I'll do that in store tonight when I pick it up then. Only £14.95, but that'll pay for a few beers on Honeymoon

John Lewis offer 5 year warranties on most things. They will price match another retailer if you find it cheaper online.
We got one about 5 years ago - I think we paid £370 or so then. We use it a lot and it really is built to last. My wife's aunt has one she got 50 years ago or something. It still works fine and really looks no different from ours.
