I love my kitchen aid mixer. It has power to make everything from bread to cake batter with ease. It is easy to clean, easy to use, and looks great on any counter. I could'nt say one negative thing about them. I use mine several times a week. Every year I look forward to using my kitchen aid mixer to make all of my holiday cookies, and other treats. I love the fact that you can make pasta, or grind meats, and much more. This is one appliance I don't plan on having to replace anytime in the near future. Kitchen aid definately knows how to build the perfect mixer.
