We finally bought the KithenAid and my only regret is not getting it sooner. It's unbelievable how much it saves on time and space and a big bonus, on waste. We're a family of four and I love having friends and family around. We have used a hand whisk and multiple bowls to make mash and bakes in the past. I also had a bulky citrus squeezer taking up valuable worktop space which we used daily instead of buying juice. I got the juicer attachment and haven't looked back since. The kids love using it too and easily squeeze a kilogram of citrus.  Making lemonade, orange juice, lollies, whisking up treats and baking bread without much effort. Again a big save on unnecessary use of plastic or paper wrapping when we bake or own. We absolutely love it!
