I've had my KitchenAid 5-qt since the early 1980s and it's going strong.
I don't the kitchen when it kneads dough - don't trust that it won't
walk. And yes, you know I'm not mixing cake batter. grin But I
wouldn't trade it. The mixing paddle is becoming worn, but other than
that, she's a well-used beauty. I've been glad I didn't opt for the one
whose head releases, but rather have the one where you have a lever for
the bowl. For one thing, it would have been too small for some bread
recipes.

Thanks Dianne - I want the larger one if the family really wants me to
make the apple cake more often.

I want the one with the lever to raise/lower the bowl
