this is fucking hilarious. it's exactly as functional as the gigantic kitchenaid mixer that my housemate INSISTS that it stay on the kitchen counter even though it hasn't been used in 5+ years. apparently for some people it's absolutely imperative that anyone who happens to come to the house MUST be made aware that we have a fucking kitchenaid mixer

I had an ex who insisted on this setup. Apparently Kitchenaid has somehow been able to convince people this is an decorative status symbol. As an appliance I've never seen one in action and I've seen many of them.

decorative status symbol

Of course it is. That's why it comes in so many color options. Including "limited edition" ones which I find equal parts hilarious and infuriating.

Anyway, Smeg probably holds the crown for that sort of thing currently. Check this out. Notice that they won't even show you the price at first. That's because it's got a UMRP of $2000.

it does the same thing you would normally do with your hands, except it takes 50 times longer

Have you tried plugging it in first? Machine kneading is usually faster than hand kneading.

Could be worse. You can get a cozy for these things which makes it even more pointless.

No shit. My mom got a kitchen aid from my aunt and it has day unused under a hideous floral pattern dust cover because it was white and not pink like she wanted.

Next to the unused bread machine which is next to the George Foreman grill which is next to the panini press...

LOL no way... there really is a sucker born every minute

My 50 year old Kenwood mixer stays on the counter for one reason only and that's because it's too goddamn heavy to be lifting back and forth. Also I sometimes get inspired to bake just from seeing it on the counter, which is a nice plus.
