Good Mixer, Not for Bread Dough:
I purchased this mixer 4 years ago, and it has worked very well for most applications. I have the pasta maker and meat grinder attachments - both are very good. About 2 years ago, I started preparing bread dough in this mixer (2 loaf batch, about once a week). The gear box lasted about a year. I sent it in for fixing, paying a high flat fee. Now, it is going bad again. So, if you want to do bread dough regularly, this machine will let you down. I'm looking around for a new mixer - perhaps the big Cuisinart.

Great mixer to use for a lifetime!:
This mixer is a real workhorse. You can use this to make many different baked goods including breads, cakes, cookies and it is large enough to make multiple batches in one bowl. Great for use with a big family. The new attachments they offer are great because it makes it more of a multi-use product. I love it!! Happy baking!
