Reply #2: If you can afford it, I HIGHLY recommend the Kitchenaid. [View All]

In addition to being just about the best mixer around, the attachments can really expand its use. We use the meat grinder (and the sausage attachment) and the grain mill quite often, and I'm looking at the pasta attachment longingly, too.

I waited years to be able to afford it, and jumped on the massive Professional 6-quart model a few years back when Kitchenaid sold it on payments through an infomercial.
