I cannot rave enough about my KitchenAid 7 Quart Stand Mixer! I have wanted this in my kitchen for so long and believe me, it does not disappoint. Everything about this machine is so sturdy yet super easy to operate straight out of the box. It easily mixed a double batch of cookies and mixed evenly and quickly. The dough hook has changed my bread game completely. Home whipped cream...Amazing! There are so many additional attachments available the possibilities are absolutely endless. If you have one you know, and if you're considering one the answer is YES, get it.
