My husband is a diabetic with a really bad sweet tooth!  I've baked our bread and made all our desserts for years.  But as the arthritis in my hands worsens, I'm finding it more and more difficult to keep up my labor of love. Not anymore! This mixer allows me to prep dough for 4 loaves of bread, mix  up to 6 batches of brownies at once and whip a full pint of whipping cream without splattering. We're already looking at the fantastic assortment of attachments and making a wish list. I've wanted this stand mixer for decades - how silly to wait until it was a need rather than a desire. Do yourself a massive favor.......don't wait a second longer. Yes, you are worth it!  And ABSOLUTELY.........this appliance is THAT GOOD! Now, I'm off to make homemade pizza dough for dinner. Buy yourself a cast iron pizza pan to preheat in your oven and you'll never have delivery again - the mixer then pays for itself in no time. (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)
