I have had my kitchen aid for about a year now and I love it.  It can shred my pork roast for pulled pork sandwiches.  It is very effective/efficient at doing what ever it is I want it to do.  My family has bought me new attachments for it, for Christmas I got the grater, had cauliflower rice the other night -- awesome --.  My wish would be to see every baker (wannabe bakers) homes.
