Today there are 40 different colors and finishes to choose from.<br /><br />Where did the name 'KitchenAid' come from? The story goes that an executive took one home to his wife and asked her to test it and help come up with a name. She reportedly stated "<i>I don't care what you call it! I know it's the best kitchen aid I have ever had</i>" and so the name was born.<br /><br />My momma has one and her momma had one too!<br /><br />It is most likely the only thing in your kitchen (entire home possibly) that is made in good ole USA by Americans and not made in China. Don't know about the accessories that come with it though. Wouldn't surprise me if they were made in China.Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06788126777276406617noreply@blogger.com
