NBR: kitchen aid stand mixers
Can someone pls fill me in on what makes this mixer superior to other, less expensive stand mixers? I am not a baker by any means but now w/ dd old enough to help and the holidays around the corner, I want to give it a shot. The kitchen aid price tag scares me tho, lol!
Thanks!

1. You buy it once, it lasts a lifetime.
2. Many additional attachments. Even the can-opener attachment is nice b/c it saves space on my counter.
3. Replacement parts are easy to find if needed over the years.
4. The performance is great and you can do a lot with them and not burn out the motor.
There are many other brands but they change models and are not necessarily consistent with their brand. If you watch around, you can find a great deal on them. Check out slickdeals.net for a few weeks and I bet you'll find a steal!
As a chef it's the only one I would recommend...;like PP said it's good for a lifetime. My great aunt as one that's 50 years old and still going strong!
It's made of extremely durable parts, no molded plastic or crap like that.
It is an investment but one that will last forever.
I bake a lot, including bread and the thing is amazing...most professional kitchens will ONLY use this product..that says something to me that a professional kitchen can beat these things to hell and they keep going...I've never seen one break down either.
YAY another chef!!
lol, is it wrong that I told DH I wanted a Hobart so I could make MORE bread?
Well they are nice enough looking that its ok to leave them on the counter. We do not use ours as much as we should but its very convienient when we do.
I would not say they last forever, my parents ae on therr 2nd or third one in the last 30 years, but it is used daily.
This! I got mine a couple years ago as a Christmas present. I had wanted one for years, and finally got it. I LOVE it. It stays permanently on my counter. I use it almost weekly. It's so worth the money. I definitely recommend getting it!
