Ever wanted to find out when your KitchenAid® brand countertop stand mixer was manufactured? It's easy with Mixerology — all you need to do is point your camera at the serial number label underneath the mixer, and it will decode the model and serial number. No more guesswork, no more trying to decipher complicated charts or misleading Internet search results. In addition to scanning the label on a mixer, you can also select a photo of the serial number label from your Photos library, use the iOS "Share" feature on any available photograph of a label, or point the camera at a computer screen showing a photo of the label. (This is super handy when checking a for-sale listing.) Mixerology also decodes the color code from your mixer's model number (if available) and provides links to helpful information about your stand mixer's model type, such as compatible bowls and accessories, care tips, maintenance information, and more.
