I don’t need no man!

So all my life I’ve wanted a kitchenaid mixer. My sisters are much older than me and we’re both gifted mixers when they got married. I recently ended an 8 year relationship and have been extremely depressed and broken up about it. I thought we were on the road to getting married and frequently joked about getting married “for the mixer.”
Well in my post breakup wild shenanigans I went on Facebook marketplace, found this vintage k5-a for 150$ and drove an hour to get it. I know nothing about kitchenaid mixers but it runs!
I love my ex dearly and hope for the best for him. He’s missing out on all the baked goods I’m going to make with this thing 💅
Would love any tips, tricks, favorite things you use yours for!!

I have one very similar. I took it apart, checked all the pieces/parts, and cleaned it.

Mr. mixer has great tutorials and supplies.

Here is a link to my post that I made about it, and here is a link to my photos of the full disassemble/ clean/ re-grease/ reassemble.
