All of ours went in a hold-all, we just asked the virgin check in agents to put loads of fragile stickers on the hold-all, it was well packed in its original box, there were clothes packed around it & it arrived the other end all intact.

Wherever you buy it you will love it! I have had mine for 16 years and its as good as new (it gets used about once or twice every second week on average).
I bought the blender too but it packed in after about 10 years.
Accessories are definately worth buying over in US - I have the pasta maker, meat grinder and sausage making thingy (whatever possessed me to buy that one I have no idea - I only made sausages twice as it was such a faff :-) )

no more lifting of the converter ( knock down box in the building trade ) all fitted and out of sight

We have exactly this, I have a nice little US plug socket in the kitchen and my converter hidden in the unit.
I get to use all my Kitchenaid stuff, plus my Bath and bodyworks plug ins.
OH has a charging plug for his US bought tools.
Plus our xmas lights are from Home Depot

I bought 1 when we where over there in 2014. We just took it out of the box and packed it in the case wrapped in clothes etc. We also bought a voltage adaptor thing in Walmart for about $20 and it's worked perfectly for the past 2 and a half years.
Be prepared to have your cases searched by security though, understandable really when they X-ray a case full of wiring!

I would really love one of these! Or I also really want a Keurig machine because I've always loved them when I use my uncles when I've stayed with him.

Do people keep the kitchen aid in their hand luggage? Interested in how much it usually weighs?

according to amazon, the kitchenaid classic is ~6.8kg (15lbs) and the artisan is ~10-12kg (22-25lbs)
