The link is for TWO chopping boards? Did you get two from Amazon?

A bowl? For just a certain model of machine? Seems like a limited audience for a TSV.

no its a stand mixer the artisan 125 with 4.8l Bowl

This costs £375 on the Kitchenaid website and elsewhere so I'm curious to see how the price compares. Not as good as the TSV Kitchenaid Artisan I bought a few years back from them for £275, though I think that they were refurbished. But who cares? It's served me well for several years. I expect this will be in the usual standard 4 colours of red, black, cream and silver, as mine was. Link

Thanks SCW, I was having a senior moment I'd love one of these mixers but a bit on the pricey side for me.

I've just discovered that QVC are selling 2 Kitchenaid tongs for £32. Firstly, why do you need 2? And does anyone need an exclusive name for such a simple item? Secondly, I bought a large Sainsburys one for £1.99 that's been going strong for years, now £3.33. Doubtless The Range, Aldi etc do similar but cheaper than £32. Link

I do not think it is about “need”. I think it is about want, wanting an up market brand for a basic tool in order to feel good? Successful?happy?
If you have the money, why not enjoy it having luxuries rather than basics?

Do the buying public "need" two at an inflated price, which was my point? Not necessarily, unless you've got two kitchens, use different tongs for different foods at the same time, or a family member who also appreciates paying over the odds for a named brand. It's a way of massaging the price so you feel you're getting two, not one for the money, therefore value for money. It's each to his own, and if paying four times the price
is what floats your boat, that's your choice, but I'm pointing out the absurdity of paying four times as much for an identical, bog-standard item.

Relying on weaknesses is how the money is made.

How do you know people are buying two for themselves? How do you know they are not buying them as presents? How do you know they aren’t sharing with a friend? How do you know they haven’t got thin children going to separate unis?
I could continue listing numerous answers to your question.
Again, if you can afford it, why should you be judged about wanting to have something a bit more luxurious than a bob standard supermarket product?
And I know how much QVC charge and so I always look around first. Never buy beauty anymore, Superdrug is good for me.
Finally, QVC is all about making money.

I don't know why people are buying anything. Nor do you. You obviously didn't read my post properly, even though you quoted it, and I have absolutely no idea why you have been so provoked by it. I said: "unless you've got two kitchens, use different tongs for different foods at the same time, or a family member who also appreciates paying over the odds for a named brand." That gives different reasons for anyone buying the item. Please read what has actually been said before you reply.

You seem to feel that I haven't the right to express my opinion - or if you don't, that is the tenor of your quote. As for judging - why pick up on this particular post, since on this forum we have the freedom to express many opinions - and we all do so? Quite rightly. Many posts are about the exorbitant prices QVC charges for brand names when so much better is available.

Carry on with your rant if you will, but it is pretty pointless. My post was a general comment, not a personal attack, so I'm at a loss as to why you respond as if it were by saying "and I know how much QVC charge and so I always look around first." If that's what you say you do, who am I to disagree? People can buy what they want. They can pay what they want. But it's silly in my opinion to buy a brand name when an identical quality item but with another name could cost you so much less. You disagree. End.

So please don't "continue listing numerous answers to" my question. That would be silly and pointless, unless point-scoring is important. But at least we both agree that QVC is all about making money. They are a business, and playing on human weakness is one way of making money.

I don't think I can make my point any clearer so that's all from me.

No more than you should be judged on thinking the people who pay double/triple/quadruple for the sake of a prestigious name are daft. Works both ways, we all have our reasons, financial or otherwise as to what we buy and where we buy it from.

If anyone was borderline interested in buying it, it's ability to make butter must have been the final shove. How wonderful to make your own butter so easily. The BA showed how you could shape the butter and add various herbs. I was very impressed with the mixer as a whole. Such a silly and disrespectful comment, though, made by the red haired presenter as she was introducing it, 'I think I love my kitchen (aid?) more than I love my husband!'. A joke, obviously, but a rotten one.

A friend of mine has a Kenwood Chef that she git as a wedding present 60 years ago. She uses it most days. She has had it serviced and I think the motor had to be rewound.

I’ve got a later model that I bought about 15 years ago and it’s still going strong. I don’t use it so much these days though
