I bought this mixer a couple months ago and really enjoy using it. My mother has one so I knew it would be fantastic. Attachments are awefully expensive, but very good quality machine.
I bought this mixer to replace my kitchen aid stand mixer that was 20 years old. While this new mixer is much quieter than my old one (its gears were wearing down), I am somewhat disappointed in the mixer. It does a good job mixing things, but when it comes to kneading bread dough the design is poor. The bowl seems to be too shallow for the average bread dough recipe. While kneading the dough, the dough creeps up the hook and begins to cover the spring where the hook attaches to the mixer. Even double batches of cookie dough tend to do the same. The older model I had did not have this problem.
I have always wanted a Kitchen Aid mixer, but I had a good stand mixer that was my mother's mixer from the 1960's. I found out immediately how much better it whips egg whites when I made waffles. I also love the cobalt blue color I bought.
