Hey welcome to my channel.
This video is very special to me because it was my most elaborate do it yourself project so far.
My girlfriend has her birthday in May and because she is a passionate hobby baker I wanted to make her a very special diy birthday gift.
A kitchenaid ultrapower ksm90 I found on the electrical scrap of my neighborhood.
Of course I did not want to give a broken and extremely dirty kitchen machine. The machine had some problems. The paint had peeled off, the controls were broken. It was bent from a fall and it was stuck in the highest gear and ran very unevenly and noisily.
After removing all the dirt from the kitchen aid and disassembling the machine, i was able to start restoring the ksm90 to a very special gift.
I started the restoration by removing the old paint with the sandblaster. After the aluminum mold was completely exposed, i was able to dent it and repaint it in her favorite color. I chose a deep purple color that I was sure she would like very much.
All the metal shafts were in good condition and fully nickel plated, so all I had to do was polish them up.
All the gears were cold blued after cleaning to seal the rust.
The restoration of the control levers was more complex. Since the original heads of the levers were broken off, I decided to make new ones out of wood.
I chose ebony and sapeli, an african mahogany wood, as the starting materials. These noble woods do the most justice to the american icon.
After gluing the woods together, i was able to shape them into three beautiful semi-circular heads. In the end i polished them and covered them with a layer of epoxy resin for hygienic reasons.
Before assembling, it was time for a beer test. This time I had a bottle of budweiser - budvar from the czech republic to test. An outstanding beer that many in the grocery store would confuse with the american budweiser brand.
In the end, I reassembled all the parts and was able to give away a beautifully restored kitchenaid. My girlfriend was extremely happy about this gift. I wish her all the best.

This item is barely 20years old. What are you fixing, really? These Kitchen Aid appliances are made to last -- pretty much!
This is a Kitchen Aid table mixer made in, approx., 1997, Oct-Nov.
Not saying this is not a good job of making a good product look spanking new, but does not look like there was any real restoration involved.
🙄
There always has to be an a-hole
It clearly wasn't working properly in the beginning. One of the arms needed "fixing", the speed controller needed "fixing" and the aesthetics needed "fixing".
Obviously this one was used hard and was ready for the trash bin. Restoring it is actually very eco friendly. Good job.
Lol what a crass comment.
I have a 1941 Kitchenaid that I dearly love. It was a wedding gift to my mother from her father. It has chipped paint, some rust but otherwise is in perfect condition, and now I know how to restore it, and also know that I can do it.
Thank You. Getting my mother's wedding gift back to original condition is going to mean so much to me
That sounds amazing. All the best for your lovely project!!!!
That's awesome. I hope it went well! Old machines are really cool, including little kitchen appliances.
I wouldn’t do anything at all to it, Bluebelle. As long as it is in perfect working condition, there is no need to fix it. Some basic maintenance is all that is needed to keep it working right for many years, but other than that… Think of it this way: if you take it apart and repair all of the cosmetic faults, it will be indistinguishable from one that has sat in a box since the 1940s. But your mother opened the box. She USED her mixer, probably a great deal. She baked birthday cakes with it. She made holiday cookies with it. She made more dinner rolls and loaves of bread with it than you can even begin to count.
Every scratch, every ding, every stain… each one marks a memory. Each one loudly proclaims the love that your mother channeled through it into each and every thing she baked with it. Don’t erase those defects, preserve them! Celebrate them! Add to them, and someday pass them on to your own children.
@@mrimmortal1579 To be honest, if I could get away with leaving it as is, I would, for the reasons you stated. However, the rust on the base where the bowl sits is BADLY rusting and I have fear that to do nothing to stop it will end up in disaster sooner rather than later.
Mechanically, she's a stout little beast and has given me no trouble at all (I did have to replace the bowl when the original one developed a tiny hole on the side)
Great work! It makes me happy to see “garbage” given new life and reused. Less landfill for all of us. Keep it going!
I was wondering where did you get all the wearable parts (brushes, gear, grease, etc…)?
This is more wholesome than just buying a new mixer for your girl. Memorable and sincere.
I thnk she appreciated this a lot. Thank you!
@@NTRprojects did you show her how much work it was?
@@NTRprojects I am so glad for that!
And how many gift receivers get their gift in their favorite *custom!* color?!
It's impressive how serviceable this is. A quality product that was designed to be repaired, not replaced. I'm sure the engineer who made this is long gone but you've done their grandchildren very proud with your work 👍
Yes, because it's an obsolete tech ... that's sold at an outrageous high price.
Literally biggest scam ever. Like apple products being the most expensive but at the same time being several years behind the competition.
They knew how to abuse the limited IQ people into buying them.
It's appalling how these mixers are made with 50 year old technology.
Yes, is simple and robust, but this means they should be dirt cheap, because there is no actual innovation worthy of 2022.
What innovation?! Well, they should have advanced functionality scales included so you know how much you add in ingredients for one.
Then using brushless motors instead of the utter garbage electric motor tech employed. All accessories should be stainless steel as standard included, and not coated aluminum ones.
This was ok in the 1970s but not in the 2020s. This is an old model, but is the same with the new models they sell. That is the problem.
@@ElGoogKO you dont know what you are talkin about, yes its expensive but you can give this to you grandchildren and it will still work fine. why complicate something when this is perfection, more electronics more things to brake.
@@ElGoogKO That's not how manufacturing works, but go off, king.
@@ElGoogKO they are not cheap because we know why we buy them. At the pastry school I work, we have around 200 of those and half are 20+ years old. The maintenance guys just the do the work to clean and grease them every 3-4 years and done. The huge point with those products is the parts are very easy and affordable to find, because they didn’t change them every years as others shiny brands. So yeah, it is costly to buy but it is a very strong product you will keep for decades and cheap to maintain. People are just to lazy to do basic maintenance and prefers to come on social media to cry.
I bought a kitchen aid for my mom when I was 16 it was for Christmas that year. I’m 51 and my mom has passed and my daughter uses the kitchen aid daily 35 years later these are built to last amazing craftsmanship
"I'm going to fix this and give it to my girlfriend who loves to bake."
Note to your GF: He's a keeper. He can fix stuff, AND he gives you a badass stand mixer.
Thanks for the support 👍👍👍
PS: I would suggest this stand mixer stays out on a countertop or shelf where it is always visible. First, it will turn knowledgeable women green. Second, it will tell him you appreciate the gift. And if you use it frequently your girl friends will forgive the green moment and your man will smile a lot.
Note to him: She's one, too. She will bake stuff.
I’d like to see more repair and reuse in this world. More quality, less crap.
I agree 100%
It used to be better, but then people hardly bought new stuff and business had a hard time keeping afloat, at least is what I have heard, not to mention that competition makes people try to undercut one another and to make things cheaper quality takes a minor hit here and another there... They are small decrements, but over time we end up with the level of crap we are dealing with...
Here are some serious quality for you.
th-cam.com/video/enuOArEfqGo/w-d-xo.html
Was I right?
@@zehph Buy quality stuff, ie: instead of the grater they sell at the grocery store made of cheap metal that rusts, get a good one out of stainless steel. Instead of the cheap $10 hand mixer, spend the money and get the pro model Kitchen aid. Sure it costs about $250 but it will last forever. They usually go on sale before Christmas and sell out. Got mine for $150 about 10 years ago, still going strong. Cleaning it right after using it and not letting powdered sugar or flour dust up out of the bowl is key. Both of those will clog up a motor. Add gradually and at slow speed until moistened is the proper way to do that and avoid the dust up.
@@VangoghsDoggo I am making the shift to this way of thinking. I was raised through some financial hardship and got ingrained into my brain that cheaper is better because we couldn't pay for better stuff then, but now things got better and slowly but surely I'm making better investments in all areas, clothing was one that I struggle with a lot! 😅
Never heard a Kitchenaid run that smoothly, as this one does at the end. Outstanding work. I'm jealous of your girlfriend!
Thank you very much!
I've got a new one that I use infrequently and I was surprised to hear how smoothly this machine ran compared to mine. I have a feeling that if that machines aren't run that often, it can lead to problems, but this is my opinion only.
Yeah. Maybe he installed a silencer😜
It really looks great
@@gaterunner64 I wonder if it’s either the mixing on the audio in the video, quite likely he toned down the sounds to avoid killing headphone users. Or the grease/bearing making a major impact.
The audio mixing could explain why it feels quieter, however the bearing and grease might also have a major impact. Products are generally designed to last until out of warranty, wouldn’t surprise me if most any aftermarket grease would work better then factory because those penny pinching sons of bitches would save a nickel to make it last 5 years instead of 10.
@@andyruse4670 I didn't even think of this possiblity, but you are probably right!
The men who can fix broken things like this are getting rarer than a unicorn.
Maybe the channel helps to grow that number a little
@@NTRprojects That would be great! :-) Keep doing, please!
@@NTRprojectswhat was making the motor run rough?
Don't worry, as soon as civilization starts breaking down, people will begin to realize just how critical people with * actual * skills are; one of my kids is an aircraft mechanic, the other one an electrician. Both in their 20's and already bought their own homes and comfortably middle class.
The women ARE unicorns!
I have met a lot of women carpenters (like me), but I only met one Mechanic so far in my age (55). And I mean by Trade, not self taught.
I guess they are much more now. But a mechatronic is not the same like the common car geeks used to be, I guess..
You turned something beaten, broken and "standard" into a one-of-a-kind fully functional stand mixer. Your girlfriend is a VERY lucky lady, indeed!!! The purple color was an excellent choice!
Now she has the ONLY purple Kitchenaid on her block!👍
I really enjoyed watching this restoration. 25 years ago I was a machinist working for the company that machined many of the components for the KitchenAid mixer. A part I personally produced was the hub of the wire whisk. It was something to see how the components we made all fit together on the inside.
Nice someone else in the comments also produced parts in former days. Very nice how this comes together here
You are a brilliant restorer. The purple color and your homemade knob caps make this look like a very expensive "special edition" Kitchen Aid. If it were in the show window of a Williams Sonoma store, it would probably have a price tag of $900. Superb workmanship and extraordinary attention to detail!
Thanks so much 😊
Yes, LOVED the caps! 😊
For real, he should find more "trash" kitchen aids and resell them as refurbished.
Too much work really. 2 days just to disassemble clean all the parts@@JOSHT901
I just received my KitchenAid mixer back from KitchenAid after they repaired (or should I say rebuilt!) the machine. These older mixers are worth repairing. They are much better built than the machines be sold today. Bravo on a job well done and keeping that beautiful piece of machinery out of the landfill.
Thank you Catherine and a lot of fun with yours. Best regards
I always wanted one but never had a good reason to get one until I got involved with a groupe where I had an opportunity to bake cakes once in a while. Got on Ebay and paid something like $80 for a 50 year old home appliance. The thing works great, I can get parts for it if it breaks, and can still get accessories for it. The only problem with it is that the plug is non-polarized, so if it's plugged in wrong and I touch it and the sink at the same time I get a little tingle.
@@JeffDeWitt That isn't polarization. It's a short in it and you are running current from the mixer case, through you, to the sink. A live wire is touching the case inside or current is jumping to it and you are grounding it out on the sink. It needs to be fixed before you make the wrong connection and someone finds you on the floor dead.
@@VangoghsDoggo The tickle is probably conduction from the capacitors, not a hard short. A bare wire to the case and the user touching the mixer and the grounded sink would be thrown across the room. This should be upgraded to a polarized plug and Jeff should get a GFI installed in his kitchen (it's code anyway).
Current production Kitchen Aid stand mixers are still built the way they always have been. Even a new one is a lifetime item, but I agree that even antique Kitchen Aids should be restored like this one.
I purchased a Kitchen Aid mixer for my wife the first year we were married. (32 years ago) My wife like nothing on her counter tops except her Kitchen Aid. These are wonderful machines. Your girlfriend will love it. Well done sir.
Hey Michael. We realized that we need to have it on the counter, otherwise we wouldn't use it. But it's such a pretty and helpful machine. Incredible versatile as well
If KitchenAid hasn’t contacted you and offered you a bunch of free attachments for the restoration of this beauty, then shame on them.
I worked for KitchenAid warehouse in Belgium :) They have their own Factory Service department and believe me, one scratch deeper than can be polished and mixer part goes straight to the bin. They just switch either whole base with electrical parts or the head half. They fix the electronic/mechanic parts but they do not restore body scratched/deformations. I saw there one big container and believe me, this one from video would go straight to the bin - unless it's out of warranty fix and you pay for it, still the paint coat is not being fixed, they only offer changing half of the machine :)
This is very interesting. would have thought they are way to expensive to just replace everything
no one called so far :D:D
@@NTRprojects shipping overseas to cheap labor countries or paying locally for fixing the paint coat would be too expensive. I saw one that was deeply scratched on both halves and only with some minor parts to change... Went to bin. Paying person to dismount parts and moving them to new body is too much expense. A worker is a cost of €40/hour for company + spare main body parts (production + shipping + storage) where retail price and production cost are something completely different from each other especially with KitchenAid, premium brand. As a result it's cheaper to ship new mixer / main part of mixer for customer rather than going for fixing expenses.
@@TapChanek I'd buy all the parts they throw out and put together a scratch and dent.. "Frankenstein"
Came from 9gag. I really love videos like these that have no irrelevant background music, all you can hear are just tinkering. You earned a new sub, sir! Keep it up!

I think your girlfriend is incredibly lucky
Not only did you get her a kitchenaid you got her one you restored yourself and personalized so its perfect for her.
I couldn't think of a better birthday gift
I really liked the comment about thinking you were in over your head. Makes this feel a lot more relatable.
Yes it was my first time with a kitchen aid. Of course it's also difficult for me. Best regards nibiyabi
My Mom got one as a wedding gift in 1947. It stopped working in the 80’s. I took it in for repairs and they fixed for free.
wow I wonder if they would still do it
Going by the serial # @20:43 looks like its a mixer from 2000. The amount of damage shows it was either worked quite literally to death, which is unlikely being its the small 300W model, or it was simply one that the owner didn't care for properly. My grandma had one from the mid 80s, that ran perfectly fine into the mid 2000's till my aunt burnt up the motor trying to knead an over size batch of bread. The motors are high torque but aren't designed for sustained load, KitchnAid only wants you to run them about 10 min per cycle. Says so next to the wattage rating on the side band @22:13.
@@NTRprojects kitchen aide offers a lifetime guarantee. Those machines get past down generation to generation.
@@NTRprojects Not likely. KitchenAid was a division of Hobart until 1986 when they sold the division to Whirlpool. People seek out the machines made by Hobart because they were better made. Look at the Hobart made meat grinders, they are cast iron. Whirlpool meat grinders for the KitchenAid are made of plastic.
@@bflogal18 Quality are just more satisfying...

Romance is all about sacrifice. This was *VERY* romantic. Bravo.
Shame on me! 2 years to see this beauty come Back to life! Jaw dropping work. Amazing!
I never understand how you can reassemble something like this and remeber and strugge with fitting everything back together, it is truly a skill
Having the disassembly on camera helps! One can always go back and review.
One nice thing about KitchenAid mixers is that they are designed so that when parts fail it’s fairly easy to repair. Wish more companies would do the same.
Commercial versions hold their value for at least 40 years. They are "overbuilt" compared to others available. Parts are not cheap but are quality
Thank you zipur. I order the parts in assembly groups, so its easier to get it back together
@@jaykneegarner2479 we have a large commercial one at our bar/grill that's older than some of our staff and still by far the best workhorse in the kitchen. I don't even have a clue how old it is but I remember it as a kid coming in here and I'm 56.

Always smart to give quality cooking equipment to a person who loves to cook! It leads to a lifetime of good eating.
grossed out in the beginning with all the dirt. mesmerising afterwards. mind you I took my kenwood for a change of motor and they told me at the workshop how disgusted they were with some machines and that mine was very clean but |I kept apologising for its condition. not a kitchenaid fan but if I had received such a restoration I would have been very proud. you are an artist. simply stunning.
Oh my lord this is such a kind and nice feedback. We got my mom a Kenwood a while ago and she is very happy with it
I restored my girlfriend's lawnmower, welder, band saw, electric drill and angle grinder. Hope you got more thanks than I did!
Wrong girlfriend. Get a new one.
@@Willy_Tepes : Right Answer !!
I was watching this and toward the end I thought "but will this whip meringue?" Then you brought out the egg whites! So glad to see that mixer brought back to life. I'm sure your girlfriend will take much better care of this than the original owner.
Never saw your comment. Sorry and thank you
A beautiful restoration. Kitchenaid mixers are so well built that even a brutally used one such as this can be restored to near-new condition. Well done on giving it a second life.
Well said Ian. Thank you for watching
They used to be well built before 1986!
Now they are junk compared to then!
Your gf is a very lucky lady. This turned out beautifully. I love the color. I wish mine was that color, but I'm not gonna look a gift hourse in the mouth. These are a dream to have and own. I love mine.
This channel is what Sunday afternoons were made for. I was very glad to see that the beer was a worthy refreshment for all the work you put into this restoration.
It sure was. One of my most favorite beers now. I hope we will share many sundays in the future. Best regards Pete
Wow what a transformation! I love that you gifted it to your girlfriend and now this beauty has many more years of baking ahead of it :)
Yes yes yes that's exactly what I mean for the things I restore. I want to make them usable and to be used again
I think this is the most precious kitchen aid in the whole wide world and I just wonder how you will ever top this present.
Good point Sandra, maybe I build myself a trap here....
i know anyone with a care for baking would fall in love with that delicious custom eggplant color! i loved this video
I'm glad you enjoyed it Gabriella
"Saying bye bye to the "subscription button red" it was painted with" that was a very subtle way to ask newcomers to subscribe to your channel. And you got it with that beer review! This is truly wonderful and I hope your girlfriend got really happy with the gift
Haha yeah but it didnt work on you ?! :D
Wow! At first I was a bit skeptical since I thought "isn't the effort you need to put into restoring a bog standard item greater than just buying another?" but what you've transformed this mixer into at the end is truly beautiful.
I ve replaced ring gears 3 times. This was very informative
The present that gives back. You are a clever man.

Sat here watching this with my much more modern KitchenAid Artisan sat in front of me! Fascinating!
The work you did is beyond belief. The unit appears as if it were brand new, factory manufactured. I feel certain when you presented this to your girlfriend she was amazed. Excellent video, thank you!
So satisfying to watch. Your restoration skill is very impressive. Would have loved to see the reaction from the girlfriend on a separate video.
Shes to shy for that :D
Beautiful! You gave that machine back its dignity. What a lovely gift.
This is very beautiful. Your girlfriend is lucky to have you!
That orange / yellow plastic gear is called the "sacrificial gear". It's part of the design; to get destroyed instead of destroying any of the metal parts. I've replaced the gear on our KitchenAid mixer and restored it to service.
Nice work! Love the color.
thanks for the info steve
I always wondered why they used a plastic gear on my mixer. Thought that was being Cheap!
We've had our KitchenAid for almost 20 years. Best wedding present ever, still works perfectly to this day!
Nice restoration!
I gave both my nieces a kitchen aid for their weddings
Сколько лет мучалась эта бедняга
The most awesome thing about a Kitchen Aid is that you actually CAN repair them like this. And you did an incredible job!
Grüße aus dem südlicheren Deutschland. ;-)
Beautiful job. Darlington, South Carolina USA
Beautiful work. Something I really respect about KitchenAid is that they don't cheap out on construction, even on their lowest-end products. Close tolerances, metal parts, and mechanical fasteners instead of glue make them a joy to work on.
100% agree. Its a great product
It’s hard to image anyone treating a Kitchen Aid mixer that poorly! 😲 You did a fantastic restoration on it! Your girlfriend is very lucky! 😁👍
Yes, who owned this mixer before your girlfriend? It looked as if it were used to mix cement.
Totally agree. And it looked like it never has been cleaned before ;(
you never know peoples values and loves. the old saying "one mans trash, an other mans treasure is very true here!
it always makes me wonder how people manage to destroy even the most sturdy things.
so it's all just the more satisfying to see someone with the completely opposite energy to undo such neglect and destruction. love it!🤩
also good to know that these devices are really repairable. that's not a given anymore.
Thanks a lot for watching and commenting mia solala
Hell of a lot more parts in there there than i thought there would be… great resto

Man, would have loved to see the reaction of your girlfriend!!
Happy Girlfriend = good life
Magnificent work! Lucky girl she is!!
I'm lucky as well Carolyn. Thank you
One of the great things about KitchenAid mixers is that the size of the front accessory attachment hasn't changed since the 1930s so any old attachments still work! Love my KitchenAid so very much!
Honestly good to know lol
How on earth do you remember what goes where afterwards? Do you watch the way you took it out again??? This is impressive!! Thank you
I can remember back as a kid when you could take just about anything to various repair shops to have things like this mixer you just beautifully rebuilt and they actually made a decent living. I honestly miss those days! Job well done it was a pleasure to watch, thank you!
I remember walking into the local repair shop as a kid and seeing all of the gadgets, tools and appliances waiting patiently to be repaired and I thought, "What an awesome way to make a living! " Alas, with planned obsolescence ruling manufacturing, those days are sadly behind us. I bet this gentleman still makes plenty of extra cash around his area however.
Yes, especially when they actively complicate the repair or make it impossible, it becomes ridiculous
@@NTRprojects they put "tamper proof" fasteners to keep us "safe"
welcome to the capitalist world where lawyers have to earn a living along with the rest of us. personal responsibility no longer exists, if you personally screw up, somehow a lawyer can make it look like somebody else's fault. that's the world we live in today. and how dare you attempt to repair your old whatever it is, depriving someone else who sells new whatevers from earning an income by selling you a new whatever........
Like butter! Well done man. Great video. That's a very meaningful restoration.

More beautiful than the original one. I am glad that you knew what you were doing. Congratulations.
Restored with love. What is more romantic then that!
Fantastic colour too, I’m sure there’s a business opportunity there for people to get their machine overhauled and repainted!
What a beautiful gift, you're a very thoughtful person. You chose a beautiful colour too, and the finished project is something to keep forever.
Thank you for sharing this restoration with us, this was obviously a deeply personal work, and an insight into your personal life that many might hide.
I can only send back the compliments. This is a very thoughtful comment, that was really appreciated
Great job! Not many people would have bothered to restore that mixer. You've shown it was possible and will enjoy many years of service from it. Not to mention the pride of your restoration abilities. Thank for sharing.
This is exactly the type of project that the phrase "better than new" was meant to capture. Only criticism is that the Kitchen Aid mixer is a classic industrial-design ill-suited to wooden knobs. Otherwise, an amazing job!!
Quite a change. I actually like the purple. Nice bright pop for a kitchen. That was a lot of work for your lady. Hope she enjoys her new toy for many years.
I love seeing hard-working machines lovingly restored like this. What a huge difference between the before and after in the motor sound, it sounded so happy to be whizzing around freely again! Work, truly well done! 👍🏻
how wonderful. I never thought the motor was so complex! I loved this whole video.
I was really amazed by the quality parts that are inside this whole thing
Like the purple kitchen aid, it’s a sweet gift to your girlfriend and I like the quietness of your video very relaxing.
This was so much overkill restauration that it became therapeutic. This is the most beautiful thing I have ever watched (exaggerated to make a point). Your girlfriend can NOT use this machine. This needs to be preserved under glass.
It was so good to watch a thorough dismantling,cleaning,repainting and reassembly - I really enjoyed seeing the project completed. Thanks
Thank you Hugh
Fantastic job, absolutely love the color, looks like best present ever.
Thank you Gabriele
The polish and cold blueing are great. Thanks!
Girlfriend that's getting pretty close to wife territory. Great job! Absolutely beautiful! Wish we had a reaction video. Has she stopped crying yet? Praying many jobs come your way. Your a credit to your profession.
Thank you so much C H. Your words are a big motivation to get back to work now
Amazing! Looks like this is your pop-off video! Please do more household item repairs!
I think I will switch between kitchen and workshop :)
These older KitchenAid mixers were the best. You have done a fantastic job and beautiful work. Great video!
Thank you mama squirrel
What makes you say the "older" ones? The machine design hasn't changed in almost 100 years. That's a Kitchen Aid hallmark, and this design is a trademark.
@@andhisband I believe the newer models have plastic gears and a smaller motor.
@@mammasquirrel418 Nope. That was one model, the Professional 600 (not a model most home users would buy). It was the gear housing that was plastic, not the gears. Finally, they went back to all metal on that model in 2006.
@@andhisband Ok, thanks for the info.
I have repaired a couple , but never remanufactured one . BRAVO !
Thank you Philipp.
EXCELLENT restoration, wow!!!
Glad you liked it Ricky
Oh man, this must have been real double love: for your girlfriend and the technics and aesthetic of this machine.
Absolutely marvellous!
Couldn't agree more!
I love this so much! This is build quality you don’t see these days. And this restoration is quickly becoming a lost art! This was so wholesome to watch! Thank you sir, your girlfriend is blessed!!
That's not correct. The quality is still available, but such a tool starts from €6000 and is used professionally most of the time. Everything most people buy today is made in China, to last few years only.
Also you find the quality that last in Kenwood mixers!
@@alanpotter8680not true I have a modern one made in like 2015 or something that's is almost identical except the thing the attachments go onto. It was 150$
Can't believe this popped up in my recommendations. I brought one of these home a few months ago and it's just been sitting so now I might actually be able to get it running properly after watching this.
Inspiring while entertaining. I awarded you the resto MVP for saving the production tag. Beautiful job and a beautiful gesture; that must be quite a girl. Thanks for a post worth remembering.
"Subscription button red" haha I see what you did there! Subscribed!
You got me :D
Turned out great!
Wow you watched my video :D thanks a lot. I'm flattered you liked it.
If you gave me some trash from the garbage on my birthday, we wouldn't be BF and GF by my next birthday.
I'd probably marry you. This is one of the sweetest things I've ever seen. Weeks of effort, and a Kitchen Aid in a color that no one on Earth probably has? It's just wonderful.
My new favourite channel. Awesome work!
Wow never see anything so so perfect you are a master of restoration, you can tell them is brand new and they will believe it. Thank you for not playing stupid music I like it like this.
Thank you Luis I will keep it this way
Budweiser USA actually lost that case and as part of the settlement, if they wanted to keep using the name, were allowed to make only the worst beer they could while still legally being classified as beer.
Heh, I sort of laughed when I saw the Budweiser label. I figured Dr. Beers spent all his money on parts for his girlfriends gift, and now he was poor.
I think the definition for beer that was used in the case was tinted water.
Somehow, it was coronated as the King of Beers?!?
I'm impressed to see this kitchen mixer, get revamped. This is for those, who want to learn to know; how to become a chef. And specialize in it. 👩🍳 🍳 👨🍳
It’s a real pleasure to watch a true artisan at work 👍.
Thank you
Hey Dr. Beer! That is a very nice restoration video! I watched it in full and it is really well done. You are top
Thanks my fellow I just saw you have a new video too
@@NTRprojects Yeah right, the video just came out on Friday and I highly recommend it :)
Your restoration is stunning. Any baker would be thrilled to own this.
Great job! Congratulations!
My KitchenAid mixer is this colour. I believe it's called Boysenberry. Great restore, glad your girlfriend loved it! 😊
