Thanks. Funny story: Believe it or not, I passed on it at first and did another lap of the store. Then it was like, “That’s a Hobart for 30 bucks! Get it!” It’s a wonder it wasn’t snapped up by someone else in that time.
TorBoy9 - No shade on the workers there...but they routinely price trash as if it was treasure...and treasure as...you catch the drift! It takes a lot of life experience with a broad range of manufactured items to develop a sense of their current value. Most workers there don't have a clue, which is why those of us who do can often find wonderful values.
Not where I am at Naples, Florida. I stopped going to thrift stores, goodwill, Salvation Army, and all because they price their stuff so high you better off buying new or eBay or direct.
Kitchenaid k5ss were made between 1978 and 1986. Before that there was the k5a which were made from.1936 to 1977. The k5ss means it is solid state speed control. It is universally considered the best kitchenaid ever.
Thank you for that tidbit of info! I just found a lift bowl KA5SS, marked only *"Heavy Duty,"* instead of "Classic" or "Artesian" and have been combing the internet looking for information on it. Your comment is much appreciated! Btw, I found this 5 qt lift bowl KA5SS with all the attachments at a local thrift store just a few days ago for an out the door price of $75, goop and grime at no additional cost 🤣 and scooped it up instantly! Immediately scrubbed it up when I got home and it looks and sound like new!!! I'll regrease it and replace the gaskets before I use it but, for now, it graces my kitchen counter as it's sisters, three lift head mixers in pale yellow, pale green and white, look on in envy! Thrifting is definitely the way to go. The prices I've paid for them were from $95, $60, an amazing $12 and this lift bowl KA for $75. Who needs groceries when you can buy a KA instead? 🤣
@@rattlecat5968 Classic and Artisan are titles used on tilthead models. Both The Artisan in the Classic are based on the k45ss which I believe it's still a model number used on the classic. Actually 45 refers to the 4.5 QT Bowl size of the Classic model.
You will love this! I always wanted a KA mixer for occasional use, but didn't want to pay the high price. I went to a local church bazaar about 10 yrs ago that sold many used items. A table for appliances had a covered (why? don't know) tall item that I thought was a blender I didn't need a blender but was nosy. As I lifted the cover, lo & behold, the same Hobart mixer as in your video! K5ss. Cream color. Perfect condition with the bowl & 3 standard beaters. Asking price was $10!!!!! Wow I snatched that heavy item up fast along w/the quilted cover. If the cover hadn't been on it, it would surely have been bought by the many dealers that raid the bazaars now to resell for profit.
Beautiful mode, I bought the same one yesterday from my local thrift store for $25 dollars and I love it, I’m in the process of cleaning it and will finish cleaning today. I can’t wait to put her to work😊
Your videos motivated me to look for cookware at my local thrift store. I go there a fair amount already but didn't focus on that much. Imagine my surprise to find an All Clad D5 Stainless Steel 11" French Skillet for $6.99 today. Cleaned it up good and it looks 95% new. So happy!! I could tell the cashier was surprised as well and knew what it was :). Really looking forward to cooking with it!
My 1968 KitchenAid. mixer is still going strong. It goes to the Hobart shop yearly to have the head cleaned and repacked with lubricant. I saw an article that said an early 2000 KitchenAid was worth around $1000, but haven't been able to verify that.
If you look at the number on the tag on the bottom - the last two digits are the year it was made and the first digits are the day it was made. So, mine says 9281 so it was made April 2, 1981.
My sister was a baker at a local cafe and bakery, and she gave me a KitchenAid stand mixer she wasn't using anymore for Christmas. Obviously, you can't beat free, but you've got quite a find there!
Glad you found that mixer! Always cool to find good stuff that lasts forever. I still have the freezer my parents bought in the 60s. Never had to have it serviced. Had no idea about Hobart, so I'll look into it for future reference. Right now I have a $54 standmixer/blender combo. Besides the price it saves a bit of space which is a major premium in my tiny kitchen that is badly designed but can't do anything about. Still my cheapo off brand Chinese thing is pretty cool and allows me to keep on baking with arthritic hands.
amazing find! i've gotten lucky finds in every category except the cookware at my local thrift stores. ross, tjmaxx, marshalls and homegoods are where i've found some great clearance items on cookware.
Pizza dough Also thanks so much for the All clad video. A few weeks later I found 2 saute pans and a med sized pan for 13.00 .. all-clad ...at my local Goodwill outlet..they weigh the items you find ..I was so excited 😊
I was gifted a broken kitchenaid mixer as the owner had already replaced it with a new one, yearly if you use it alot they need fresh grease in the gear box, in this ones case it needed new gears but it was fixed for 30$, the biggest difference those older kitchenaids are analog, the newer whirlpools use a digital speed controller, the vintage ones are still full serviceable
@@IWantToCook Definitely keep this one and repair when necessary. I have a Whirlpool made KA Pro 600 that works great but is noisy. In my opinion, the Hobart made KitchenAid stand mixers were built with better quality.
I love thrift store shopping. Unfortunately I had to pay full price for my Kitchen Aide. It is the big one that says Professional, and it was back when all you could get was grey from Costco. It is pretty much as good as new but 20 or 25 years old. I bought it way back when I needed to make icing for a wedding cake, and it easily whipped up the 11 cups of icing sugar. A wonderful machine. May yours serve you well.
Kitchen aid sells refurbished stuff on eBay from time to time. I just bought a 5 Quart artisan model for more than half price off directly from Kitchen aid
@@ramencurry6672I found a KitchenAid ultra power on the side of the curb which is just slightly less powerful than the artisan having a 300 watt motor. It turned out I just had a loose nut on the bearing bracket causing ut to be a little noisier than it should be. Since it is in the body as the artist said I did purchase the five quart stainless steel bowl for it.
Chef Matt, congratulation !!! Your this KitchenAid is a beauty !!! Can you demonstrate making German sausages with it - the different fillings, not how you stuff the casing ? Thanks !
Congratulations! The Hobart KitchenAid Mixers are definitely better than the Whirlpool ones. I have a KA KSM5 that I got in 1989, made my Whirlpool. Hobart sold the KA line in 1986, but they were still using the Hobart specs during the time my mixer was made. It runs like a tank and I love it. I think you will get many years of satisfaction from your mixer. I notice the whip has had some wires bent, so please be careful to use it only for cream, eggs, egg whites, etc. Sometimes people try to make cheesecakes with the whips, which can bend the wires. I recently got a great deal on a Kenwood Chef Titanium mixer, which included the blender and the food processor (a real food processor, not just a grinder attachment), for only $45 USD. It is 5 years old and the mixer had been used less than 10 times. So, good luck with your "new" KA. Speaking of cheesecake, maybe you'd like to make one with this? Thanks for showing us this.
Thanks for watching and the great suggestion, along with your knowledge. Cheesecake sounds great. I’ve found myself using it more than I thought I would already, mixing up batters, eggs, etc. It’s so handy and looks great on the counter. Cheers!
@@IWantToCook You're very welcome. Your K5 mixer has a much nicer motor sound than the whining of the Pro 600s . Plus, those older machines were built very solidly. Many people wish they could get their hands on a Hobart KA mixer, so you've done very well, especially for only $30! It looks great, too, and you've done a great clean-up job. One never knows what can be found at thrift shops. I got a Lagostina 8" chef's knife for $3 that I like just as much as my $100 Wusthof knife. And a $350 Staub cast iron pumpkin-shaped pot for $15, with the stickers still on it, never used. I've subscribed to your channel, so I hope to see the KA in action. Thanks again.
It's probably more likely an 80s model since it says solid state. I have the pre solid-state k5a which this is basically the same thing that you have just with older Electronics. Interestingly the whip attachment you have is all stainless steel unlike the new ones where the top piece is coated aluminum and not dishwasher safe. Some of the early Whirlpool KitchenAid did come with that all stainless steel whip. I recently acquired one on a KitchenAid I got at an antique store and I do find it just a little bit awkward to put on the machine due to its narrow top so I do kind of understand the redesign. You can always buy stainless steel attachments from third-party sellers for these mixers in the whips typically follow the modern design.
You are such a bargain maven and so are we! Good find this time. So tempting when you see a high end $$ item for almost nothing! But it's addictive, and we are running out of counter space 😄! (Almost).
Lol, so true, right? I've had to make a few "rules" for myself, and either re-donate or sell some wares to make room for new ones. Thanks for watching and happy thrifting!
Just watched a third video, I'm liking the content, already sub"d! FYI You mentioned mashed potatoes on your new mixer (I love my pro HD). At Halloween, I boiled carrots with my potatoes. Orange mashed potatoes! (I know, sneaky way to get picky eaters to eat carrots!)
In fact, your vintage kitchenaid is better than modern ones, as I understand it. Hobart manufactured them with metal gears. Whirlpool uses plastic gears now, so the new ones don't have the same legendary reliability. The newest modern ones also have electronic speed controls, not the old style mechanical ones.
That's actually kind of a misconception. This model is the k5ss bowl lift which had since been discontinued. However it does utilize the same internal components that the current tilthead mixers are using. These models have always had a sacrificial nylon gear that was designed to strip out of the machine get overloaded. It just happened to be dark gray in color making it look like it was made out of metal. The current bow lift mixer models KitchenAid do actually have all metal gears.
Was this for the whole machine including the bowl, whisk and dough hook? Or just the motor body? If you got an original for the whole set, your chef angels looked out for for you!
For creaming sugar, and butter, together smoothly I recommend the 5qt. Metal Beater Blade by New Metro. It really cleans the sides of the bowl, and mixes your ingredients well.
Alright Matt, how many days a week do you find yourself at a thrift shop exploring? You seem to find all the good stuff and just wondering if you work part time in the thrift shop to find these deals. Ha.
Lol, believe it or not I’ve really scaled back. Nowadays I’m lucky if I hit a thrift twice in a month. I think the key is, I know what to look for. For example, I can scan a rack of pans and know what kind they are by their handle. I also intentionally shop at thrifts in wealthier areas with lots of inventory turnover. But beyond that, it’s often just luck. And that’s what makes it fun.
@@IWantToCookExactly! Hit more affluent neighborhood thrift stores and get familiar with telltale signs, like handles! Also, know what days their sales are on and hit the store the day BEFORE because a lot of people will put off their shopping till the actual sale day! Another hint is to scan the store from one direction then double back from the other direction. When shopping, a different perspective sometimes alerts you to items you may have missed eyeballing on the first run. And finally, always bring CASH! At times, the internet goes down and bank cards can't be used! You don't want to miss out on an incredible find just because you have to run to a bank for money! Happy thrifting!!! 😁
Cool! As for inaugural usage, how about anything that involves whipping up egg whites? Do you know about Castella cakes? Portuguese but the Japanese claim it as their own. Anyway, it is a light, delectable treat that pairs nicely with coffee or tea. Basically Portuguese sponge cake.
Thanks for the suggestion -- that is a new one to me, and from a quick Google search they look delicious. That's one of the wonderful things about cooking and recipes: There is always something new to discover, cook, and try. Cheers!
Great machine I bough a refurbished k5a after returning the underpowered, over priced, cheap professional 6! That machine will last you forever! Just regrease the gear box over time that grease will dry up! I think they should be serviced every 10 to 20 years! After serving the next thing your going to want to do is decide who your going to leave it to in your will! 😂😂😂
In reality, the gears *should be cleaned and regreased EVERY YEAR!* The gaskets can be wiped off and reused if not soggy, BUT, the *"FOOD GRADE GREASE"* needs to be changed *annually.* If you notice a greasy goop sliming from the silver band that runs horizontally around the machine, check it's color. Over time, the grease changes from a bright white, to yellow, to amber and when completely overused, to a black, dried out mess. For $11 for a small container of *"FOOD GRADE GREASE"* and a few minutes of tedious cleaning and washing of the gears, you can make your KA Mixer last forever! Skimping on the maintainance will lessen the efficiency, work the machine harder, wear down those $25 (each) internal gears, and lessen the lifetime. Don't let maintenance intimidate you. It's very simple to do! Many YT videos are available to walk you through the simple, but very important process!
Totally agree that the Pro 600 is underpowered. Just mixing and kneading 2 loaves of plain white bread dough for 8 to 10 mins makes my machine get very warm. So disappointing for such an expensive mixer. Although I do love it and have to admit I've made many loaves of bread, pizza dough, cookie dough, etc with it and it hasn't given up on my yet.......overheated and shut off a time or two but it's still kicking
I’m sick over the “new” kitchen aid mixer … hate it ….low power…. Too wide bowls where food blows out top and sides … I did I say HATE it… Thankfully I’m sending my original to be repaired ASAP…
What a great find. I would have thought that someone at Goodwill would know this is worth much more than $30. You are so lucky!

It looks fabulous. I am extremely envious. I always knead bread in any new device as I think that's a good standard to use. Bon chance.

Over time, the grease changes from a bright white, to yellow, to amber and when completely overused, to a black, dried out mess.
For $11 for a small container of *"FOOD GRADE GREASE"* and a few minutes of tedious cleaning and washing of the gears, you can make your KA Mixer last forever! Skimping on the maintainance will lessen the efficiency, work the machine harder, wear down those $25 (each) internal gears, and lessen the lifetime.
Don't let maintenance intimidate you. It's very simple to do! Many YT videos are available to walk you through the simple, but very important process!
Totally agree that the Pro 600 is underpowered. Just mixing and kneading 2 loaves of plain white bread dough for 8 to 10 mins makes my machine get very warm. So disappointing for such an expensive mixer. Although I do love it and have to admit I've made many loaves of bread, pizza dough, cookie dough, etc with it and it hasn't given up on my yet.......overheated and shut off a time or two but it's still kicking
Score!!!
Carrot Cake?
Yum! My mouth is watering just thinking about that. Thanks 🙏
I’m sick over the “new” kitchen aid mixer … hate it ….low power….
Too wide bowls where food blows out top and sides … I did I say HATE it…
Thankfully I’m sending my original to be repaired ASAP…
I hope it gets mended and serves you many more years of happy cooking! 🙏

Blessings to you… I’m old school who appreciate dependable kitchen aids…
Needs new grease...guarantee
You really need to take it apart and service it. Needs new grease and oils. Lots of videos on RUclips
