Take comfort in knowing Matt's Mixer Repair offers a \u003ca title=\"One Year Warranty on all refreshed Stand Mixers!\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mattsmixers.com\/pages\/warranty\"\u003eone-year warranty\u003c\/a\u003e and completely stands behind every item sold. And \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Delivery in the Pacific Northwest is available!\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mattsmixers.com\/policies\/shipping-policy\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDelivery\u003c\/a\u003e is available!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes: Stand Mixer, pristine whisk, dough hook, and flat beater. Unfortunately, when using the original stainless steel bowl and the flat beater, there was some bowl interference. I found the nicest replacement bowl I have in stock - and now it sounds perfect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaint Condition: 9\/10. There are some very minimal marks and signs of use in the paint, plus one larger scratch on the base next to the pedestal (visible in pictures) and a defect on the side of the base (see pictures)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMechanical: 9\/10. This is a solid mixer in very good condition internally. Machine was thoroughly cleaned and regreased using Phillips 66 Food Machinery Grease. The mixer is very smooth and has very little fluctuation throughout the speeds. As all K5-As are, it is on the louder side, but the gears look barely used, so this should give you decades of reliable service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther: The bowl has obvious signs of use, but is in working condition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eK5-A - 003\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matt's Mixer Repair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43967809716267,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0664\/9951\/0315\/files\/IMG_4077.jpg?v=1776996088","url":"https:\/\/www.mattsmixers.com\/products\/1978-hobart-made-k5-a-5-quart-bowl-lift-mixer","provider":"Matt's Mixer Repair","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
