I've wanted a KitchenAid for 40 years.  I can't express how pleased I am with my new stand mixer! It's first task was making dog biscuits for holiday treats for a friend's pooch.  It handled the thick dough like a much larger machine. It fits in my tiny kitchen and is easy to move to a nearby shelf.  YAY!!!  I can't wait to add a spiralizer.
