Has all the usual beaters and attachments, even back in my day. Maureen uses her 30 year old Kenwood Chef on a regular basis. We did have a whole host of gadgets that went with it but the only one used nowadays is the liquidiser. I also have a Kenwood, which is still going strong after almost 50 years. I loved it so much that we bought our 2 DDs and DS one each as wedding presents. Mine and those of the DDs are used a great deal. Joyce in RSA. |

I have a 20 year old KitchenAid, and dearly love it! It is the one
with the bowl that goes up and down (rather than the one where the bowl sits and the motor part goes up and down.) In fact, it is the same model you see the chefs use on Food TV. I figured that if it was good enough for Julia Childs and Emeril and Bobby Flay, it was probably pretty good, and it surely is GREAT! I use it for everything from whipping cream and merangues and making cookie dough and noodle dough to the twice-weekly heavy bread dough. It does a wonderful job! |

I use it for everything from whipping cream and merangues and making cookie dough and noodle dough to the twice-weekly heavy bread dough. It does a wonderful job! I have a KitchenAid as well- two or three years old. Rather than the artisan, which has designer colors but a relatively lightweight motor, I got the "Pro" model with (I think) a 5-1/2 qt.bowl. (It was slightly more expensive than the Artisan.) I like it a lot. The only issues are that when it's kneading, it vibrates a lot (and it's LOUD!), so I feel that I need to stand right next to it lest it "walk" itself off the counter. The second issue is that the beater that came with it has paint flaking off, so I can't use it and will have to buy a replacement one. In fact, that's what I was just looking up online before I checked the newsgroup! One other thing to check: KitchenAids are tall, so make sure it will fit your counters. Mine doesn't go underneath the cabinet; it sits in front. (It might fit standard ones, but I had my lower counters raised to accommodate my height...but not the mixer's, LOL!) sue -- Susan Hartman |

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. Dianne |

Dianne 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 Cheryl |
