My wife has hinted that she would love to have one and I was thinking of saving up for one. I don't mind paying a lot as long as I get my money's worth. So what features are good on these? Any complaints about them?

weirdboy said:Yeah, I love mine and us it all the time. I bake bread with it frequently, and also use it for various sweet stuff like cookie dough, cakes, and making whipped cream.
I have considered getting the grinder sausage stuffer attachment for it, but i have read some complaints in various places (including here on HBT) about that being a pain in the butt.

It groans if I try to put a big batch of bagel dough in it - and who wants to knead bagel dough by hand!! One other problem is that if you put too much dough in it (even a moderate amount, in my estimation) the dough creeps up the hook and you really have to keep an eye on it. However, that might just be that I'm over estimating its capabilities and putting too much in. I've never read how much dough you're supposed to be able to knead.
I like it otherwise, though. We use it a lot and as long as it stands up like older models have (my mom's, for instance), we'll be using it for a very long time!!
It's the best mixer made. We've had ours for years and own a few attachments, my favorite being the meat grinder. I've used it to grind up venison for jerkey and it worked great. Only downside is it's large so you have to be able to store it.
I love ours. My only issue is having the space to store it when it is not in use.
Enjoy!
They have a grain mill attachment for the kitchen aid mixers. I looked around and called them. I was asking for specs on the crush spacing. They didn't have any useful information.
