"The Hobart Manufacturing Company unveiled the first KitchenAid stand mixer in 1919 as an aid to domestic cooks and fashioned after the original 80-quart version that was invented for commercial use. The popularity of the stand mixer was immediate, and today you'd be hard-pressed to find a cook's kitchen without one. While there are other trusted names in stand mixers, KitchenAid is still one of the most sought-after brands. The new 5-quart mixers retail between $400-500, like this Artisan Series Tilt-Head mixer"
"So how do you know if a KitchenAid stand mixer is actually vintage? It's possible to identify the year a mixer was made by locating the serial number at the base of the appliance (you'll also find the model number here) and using an online tool to find out the year the mixer was made. You can also call KitchenAid customer service and give them the serial number."
The Hobart Manufacturing Company introduced the first KitchenAid stand mixer in 1919, modeled after an 80-quart commercial unit and intended to aid domestic cooks.
