I finally bought a kitchenaid! So long junk mixers. I use my new kitchenaid all the time. I love how much power it has. I have made everything from cookies to homemade lotion using it and I have not been disappointed.
I have had my mixer for quite a while now and it is the greatest cooking tool I have ever owned. I choose this mixer because it is the same brand that my Grandmother uses and she has had hers for as long as I can remember. It is important not to put the wire whisk attachment in the dishwasher as it could get mangled. The mixer has mixed everything from cookie dough to bread dough and it does so effortlessly. A great thing to have in every kitchen.
I have wanted one for a long time. Finally got one for Christmas and I am VERY happy with it!. This is definitely worth the money. The only thing I would like to be a little better would be the splash guard attachment. The ingredients still splash out sometimes.
As I really love this mixer, the only complaint I have is it's too heavy and when mixing, it's hard to be able to scrape the sides as you are mixing. BUT, other than that I love it and so glad I bought it.
