Stainless steel? In these times? You would more likely get a brushed aluminium shell, filled with gravel. "Stainless Steel" would be the name of the model. It would break down after 13 months and You would have to buy a new one, while Your grandma would still have her stainless steel block from the 70s.

Back in the before times when home phones were still a thing I had this really nice cordless phone. It had this really nice balance and heft to it, felt really quality and I always remember feeling pretty good about it as a thing. Finally one day it died and I think I must have hoped to figure out what went wrong so I popped it open and realize it was like 2% technology, 23% empty space and the rest was just a solid piece of heavy rubber.

Yeah, the base model is garbage, but if you spend a little extra for the Stainless Pro, you won't regret it!

But try not to get the Stainless Steel Connect. The App in the App Store is outdated and you can't connect it to your WIFI anymore.

But try not to get the Stainless Steel Connect. The App in the App Store is outdated and you can't connect it to your WIFI anymore to stop the intermittent beep it makes.

yeah and if you don't give it internet access it uses its little wheels to drive off the counter

Calm down, Satan.

I loved my old smart block until they released a firmware update that bricked it.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Mine stopped working. I don't know what it was doing before, but it's not doing it now.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

It takes up counter space, I can't imagine the physics breaking malfunction you're experiencing if it stopped doing that.

Typical user error...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 17 hours ago

Mine too, but I absolutely refuse to read any instructions that came with it that might easily explain the problem and provide a solution. Clearly this is a design flaw of the appliance.

You certainly would not regret buying a cubic meter of ~~tungsten~~ stainless steel

[–] Someonelol 6 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

A cube that size of tungsten would absolutely obliterate that countertop... And the back of anyone dumb enough to try to lift it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 17 hours ago

Thats why it would have to be tungsten. The countertop would have to be excessively overbuilt to support the weight. Additionally the workers delivering and installing it would have to use hydraulic powered lifts to put it on the counter.

Thats how do you conspicuous consumption.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago

That would be over 19 tonnes. It would go through the floor and sink partway into the ground.

Does it come in cute colors to match me KitchenAid mixer?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 18 hours ago

No the new line is perfectly designed to clash awefully with the old one, so you need to change them all. Because you care about the look of you kitchening room.

Meme for people who do not cook. That bread hook is amazing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

Kitchenaid has really gone downhill tbh. I got their higher end model and returned it after it struggled to knead dough. They're made for cake batter and cookie dough these days, not bread making.

I went with an Ankarsrum and i love the damn thing. Small learning curve but being able to just drop ingredients in the open top is amazing

I have the kitchen aid given to my parents as a wedding gift in the 70s. Harvest Gold, but I don’t care that it doesn’t match anything.

Works great. There’s a later bowl accessory to prevent things from dancing out of the bowl while being mixed but the rest is original.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago

I didn't even connect this meme to the stand mixer at first. So useful and strong.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 20 hours ago

I’m 75% sure my mother would buy this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Ugh everyone is telling me how much I need the brick, they use it every day multiple times, but I just do not have counter space for it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

Gift it to your favorite neighbor, borrow when needed.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 19 hours ago

Everyone complaining about the weight but we all know it's really about the attachments.

…because apple makes hyper specific appliances known for taking up space on your kitchen counter…?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago

It is known for selling overpriced pieces of metal.
