This is a new model and seems to be a good buy as you get the ice-cream bowl attachment and extra stainless steel bowl by redemption.
Ice-Cream Bowl: http://promotions.kenwood-australia.com/kenwood-christmas/
Stainless Steel Bowl: http://www.kenwood-australia.com/cms6/redemptions/ (seems like it's going to take a while)
Some dodgy math:
Item | RRP |
---|---|
Mixer | $699 |
Ice-Cream Bowl Attachment | $129 |
Stainless Steel Bowl | $149? (assuming same price as current s/s bowl) |
Total | $977 |
So, $977 of RRP goodness for $499. The next closest price is Harvey Norman at $549 and The Good Guys Ebay store had a 10% sale recently which brought it down to $540. I actually scored it for $475.05 but the coupon code just expired :(
It's only $100 more than the Premier Chef KMC510 (also eligible for the ice-cream bowl attachment) which is discontinued and selling for $399. The Chef Sense is heavier, 100W more powerful, has handles on the bowl, comes with more attachments and the cord stores away.
Awesome job spotting the extra stainless steel bowl! I've been looking at the various Kenwoods for the last few days since they've been on sale everywhere and hadn't noticed that extra freebie.
If you've got a few Amex cards, price match/beat this deal at DJs and split payment over 3 cards to get $30 cashback on each - brings this down to a very cheap $409.
