Just been able to invest in this beautiful machine, whilst other cheaper makes  may be good, for me its the pleasure of being able to own a beautiful piece of equipment
, its very solid not going to fall over easily.
i love the way it locks in its upright open position making it easy to add ingredients with bowl attached.
the bowl is large so less spills 
it is  easy to change  the attachments. 
it is heavy  so keep somewhere to easily access  it if possible. 
This makes me smile everytime i look at it and joy when i use it:-)
