I did a lot of research online before setteling on this Kitchen Aid model. It had the best overall reviews within our price range.

We purchased from Home Depot. They honored their price match plus 10% off guarantee of  Sears' advertised price of $509.99. At $458.99 it was a great buy.

It is amazingly quiet. A world of difference than our 10 Y/O Kenmore.

This Kitchen Aid can easily compete with the more expensive Bosch in every aspect.
