I’m so happy with this mixer! I had a smaller kitchenaid for the last 20 years and it has been a Workhorse but now that my daughters have  joined our baking/food prep team we needed to step it up a notch. We make a lot of bread and baked goods and this bigger machine can really take it and because of the bigger size we can make double batches of bread easier for our large family. We also received one of the pasta attachment to go with it and are excited to be using that more often as well!
