Ridiculously Expensive Kitchen Appliances!!!!

This one (made by Hobart) has to be at the top of the list! At list price, it costs well over $2,000! It is adorned by chefs & gourmet cooks alike. It is Hobart's smallest mixer, but it's very powerful.

Some places charge about $1,000 more!! Even though it is a commercial machine, getting one will probably wipe out your bank account!! Even used, it is expensive, which I thought about getting one used from Ebay!

Can't do it! :ohmy:

Thinking about :wink:getting this used Hobart mixer for just under $500 plus shipping cost. But the bowl & beaters aren't included. Still, even after getting them all, it is cheaper than the normal price of over $2,000 for a brand new one!! The machine still works good!! :wink:

I'd get one thing at a time, or all four, until I have the 4 parts. I'll clean it up & maybe repaint it so that it will look almost new!! It'll be my project / goal to restoring its appearance to like-new-look condition!! :wink:

Or this used Globe machine for $290.Only the whip, dough hook & splash guard are missing. :wink:
 
I keep seeing Emeril's 9-in-1 air fryer on late-night TV for about $300? A little high IMO. It's about $219 and free shipping on Amazon. I want the rotisserie. I'm tempted.

I once had one of THESE. The George Foreman Jr. Rotisserie.

It lasted a long time, that is, until one of the rods broke on the spit. Had to toss it. :headshake:
 
Phooey. That's cute.
Does the price sound reasonable? Maybe it's realistic for what it is. Sounded high to me.

WOW!! Whoa!!!! one of them is priced at just over $300!! That IS kind of high to me!!!! :ohmy::headshake:
 
Hmmm. At first it reminded me of a toaster oven on steroids. Lol. It performs lots of functions though. Maybe the price will come down.

Name an appliance for your kitchen that is so ridiculously over priced that you wouldn't even THINK about getting it. Yet the makers of these overly-priced things are so crazy to want this kind of money for them!

Now I don't mind modern conveniences in the kitchen, but come on! There IS a limit to how much one would spend to get an appliance that has tons of "bells & whistles" on them!! Or one product or thing that lays claims to outdo the other!! :ohmy:

I'm all for appliances and kitchen gadgets that make kitchen tasks easier.
However, to be honest, I can't see myself spending a bundle of money on Kitchen Aide or Le Cruset. (sp?) I don't buy Calphenon. I don't even know how to spell it. I use the high and low knobs on the stove. I never should say never, but don't feel an expensive appliance makes the dish. The cook makes or breaks the dish. :wink: Food for thought.

I got my Le Cruset set (mini pots) at a tag/yard sale, so they were not close to full price. I would not have bought them at a full price. I think I paid $15 or thereabouts.
 
Imo, the price tags on above brands are obscene. I try to use what I have correctly. Don't mind replacing a piece when and if needed.
