Kitchenaid Artisan @ Amazon.com $199

[deanabrown]

Question...

 

Amazon.com has the Kitchenaid Artisan on special for $199 - how do I know if this is a new or reconditioned unit? Also, I understand lower overhead given they are an online site, but how can they sell this so cheap if it is a new unit?

 

here is the link

Thanks

It's new. If you bought this at Bed, Bath w/ their coupon, it would be $240 before tax so it's not like Amazon is giving them away. I bought a KA 6qt 600 series mixer at Williams Sonoma for $199 because the color was discontinued.

If it's reconditioned, it will say in the item description or there will be an icon. I like amazon because of the free shipping and no sales tax. Go for the mixer. You will absolutely love it!

There's a $20 MIR on this item from Kitchenaid's Website.

Last year my grandmother was able to buy that stand mixer from Amazon for $150! You just need to keep looking, they will lower and raise their prices on the stand mixers and it also depends on what color you want. I am unsure where I heard this, but the Artisan is suppose to have a price drop so they shouldn't be $299.99 like they're being sold for. And no, it won't be refurbished unless they specify it. I just got one for $199 at Mervyn's, but it was the Heavy Duty Plus, I know when I was there yesterday, they still had some left, unsure if you have a Mervyn's near ya, it also came w/ a $10 MIR.

The $179 ater rebate price will be about as low as they'll go. They went for around $150-155 last year because Amazon also had a $25 off $125 coupon, but they stopped those coupons about a year ago. The rebate also ends in a week or so.
