Deemed the ultimate in power and luxury, the new KitchenAid Pro Line Series offers premium features that promise to deliver professional-style culinary results every time.

Developed with professional chefs for the serious cook, the distinctive looking range has recently won Kitchen Innovation of the Year at Ambiente, the world’s largest consumer goods fair.

Covering all of your kitchen bench-top needs, the range includes the 6.9L Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer, 16 Cup ExactSlice Food Processor, 5 Speed Cordless Hand Blender, 1.5L Electric Kettle and 2-Slice Automatic Toaster.

KSM7586PCA — Pro Line Series 6.9L Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer

With the most powerful and largest capacity Stand Mixer in the KitchenAid range, the Pro Line Series 6.9L Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer features a highly efficient, quiet direct drive motor designed to run longer and deliver optimum torque with less heat build-up. The nifty bowl-lift design allows for easy attachment and removal of the bowl and is ideal for use in kitchens with low overhead cupboards.

Fast and precise, the Pro Line Series 1.5L Electric Kettle allows you to select the exact temperature for the perfect brew – from 50C to 100C. The dual wall construction insulates the kettle to keep water hotter, reduces noise and means it’s cooler to the touch.

94300-1 — Pro Line Series 2-Slice Automatic Toaster

KitchenAid’s most advanced toaster yet, the Pro Line Series 2-Slice Automatic Toaster guarantees exceptional performance thanks to the self-centering racks, which help ensure consistent toasting of thin or thick breads, the auto-sensor to automatically lower and lift bread and the ‘Keep Warm’ feature – to keep toast warm for up to three minutes.

Electrolux Assistent lights the way to culinary success

Post author By Olivia Shead
Post date June 30, 2014

When it comes to creating Masterchef quality meals, lighting in the kitchen is crucial. So the Electrolux Assistent, which is the first kitchen machine to feature an all-important LED light, is the perfect accessory for any home.

With a light that shines into the bowl to give you better visibility of what is happening in there, the Electrolux Assistent also includes a generous 4.8L stainless steel bowl and an additional 2.9L bowl. A coated die-cast tool set that features a dough hook, flat beater and wire whisk are also included, with 10 speeds and a tilting head allowing precise control. Optional additional accessories such as a meat grinder and vegetable slicer are also available, giving you even more versatility.

It’s powerful, robust and versatile, yet still beautiful enough to sit proudly on the kitchen bench even when not in use. We love the retro look of the watermelon red version.

Available in stores from August, it retails for $599. For stockists call 1300 366 366 or visit Electrolux online.

Lysandra from The Block on designing a kitchen to stand the test of time

Alisa and Lysandra's kitchen on The Block Sky High

By Lysandra Fraser

Many people are at a loss when it comes to defining their style. I’m not afraid to admit that Alisa and I had no idea what the difference between contemporary and modern styles were. We would often get asked to define our style and we would reply with “the Alisa and Lysandra style”. Some people know what they like but are afraid of getting the terms wrong, so they struggle to be able to describe verbally what style or look they want. I believe that you don’t necessarily need to have a degree, or even have experience, to be able to put a room together, just a good eye for detail and a passion for design.

When it came to designing our kitchen and bathrooms on The Block, we were very conscious about what they would look like in comparison to the changing trends, 10-to-15 years down the track. Kitchens and bathrooms cost a lot of money to change, so I believe that if you think carefully about your choices at the very beginning, you could have a kitchen/bathroom for 10-to-15 years without the need to upgrade in 5-to-10, when most kitchens and bathrooms would seem dated.

Making roasted beetroot dip with the Kitchenaid Artisan Food Chopper

Post date July 23, 2013

Here at Appliance Addict we like to put the latest gadgets to the test by actually using them when we get the chance. Luckily, Kitchenaid sent us a lovely dip recipe to give a go with their new Artisan Food Chopper, so I gave it a whirl and it was so delicious I thought I’d share it with you.

I’m happy to report that the chopper was a breeze to use, and everything about it impressed me, especially for something that costs less than $100. Here’s the recipe if you’d like to have a go yourself, with this, or a similar appliance, at home.

New Breville Sherbet range is a bit of all white

Post author By Jen Bishop
Post date June 12, 2013

I assumed the new Breville Sherbet range might be yellow. Sherbet always makes me think of lemon sherbet lollies (is it just me?). It is in fact white, but with a pearlescent finish. In a sea of coloured kitchen appliances I guess you have to find a way to stand out and maybe that’s by keeping it simple!

Breville say: “These Scandinavian-like finishes make eye-catching additions to white on white kitchens and deliver dynamic contrast to stronger colour schemes.”

1 Comment on Introducing my new blog, Appliance Addict

I’ve been (annoyingly) hinting at it for a little while and today I’m delighted to reveal that my new blog is all about home appliances. A sister site to this one, for those of you who are also interested in the latest gadgetry for your lifestyle (and to save annoying those who aren’t by keeping it separate), you now have Appliance Addict too. We have a great launch competition to win a Bodum BISTRO stand mixer in a colour of your choice.

I’ve been wanting to launch a new site for some time, it just took a little while to work out the perfect little sister for Interiors Addict (exteriors definitely aren’t my forté!). That’s the beauty of the online world and indeed self-employment; if you have an idea you can just go for it and move quickly. I’ve had some wonderful support from my friends and my web developer behind the scenes, for which I’d like to thank them. They know who they are. When you work on your own it’s great to have people to bounce ideas off and to get excited with you.

2 Comments on Come and meet me and get a glam makeover with De’Longhi’s Icona Vintage

So what are you doing next weekend? Would you like to come and meet me, get a glam makeover, have your photo taken and be in with the chance of winning a set of gorgeous new appliances for your kitchen? Sound good?

You may have noticed I love lipstick and am never without a full face of makeup (I may or may not have friends who call me ‘doll face’). Some might say I’m from the more is more school of cosmetics! So when De’Longhi asked if I’d like to team up with them on a fun event where I’d get to meet my readers and they’d get makeovers, I couldn’t say no. On top of that, they’re launching their new Icona Vintage range in the most gorgeous colours and I genuinely love them. Who knew kitchen appliances could be that good looking, I ask you?

The latest colourful kitchen appliances

Post author By Jen Bishop

5 Comments on The latest colourful kitchen appliances

The trend for colourful kitchen appliances isn’t going anywhere any time soon and I have to admit, they’re becoming quite tempting! Red is apparently the best selling colour of these products, but personally, I really don’t like using red in my home AT ALL. Clearly I’m in the minority!

It’s not just red these days though; there are plenty of colours from pastels to brights, whatever your personal palette. Here’s my roundup of some of the nicest out there at the moment. Which are your favourite?

De’Longhi’s latest Icona Vintage collection is inspired by the brand’s Italian heritage and is an extension of their existing 1950-styled Icona range. There’s a set of matching manual coffee machine (RRP $299), kettle (RRP $149) and 2 or 4-slice toaster (RRP $149 & $189) with curved silhouettes, accentuated by 5 new shades which take their colour cues from the 1950s: tan leather, cream and mahogany, olive green, sky blue (pictured) and black velvet. So there’s something for everyone.

Later this month, Bosch is introducing pastel colours to its Styline Kitchen range with the MUM5 Kitchen Machines (RRP $699). Two new models will be available in vivid Miracle Blue (pictured above) and cheerful Yellow Passion. They’re complemented by silver and chrome trims, appealing to both classic and contemporary kitchens. Each comes with a stainless steel bowl and accessories, including a fitted lid, continuous shredder, blender, kneading hook, beater, whisk and citrus press.
