Do it. If you have a kitchen item that you love, $$ well spent IMHO. It'll last longer than your average car!

Andrew bought me both my Kenwoods (at frightening expense) out of a big commission pay when we first moved in together (bless him). He nearly had heart failure at the price, but here I am, 8 years later, churning out food for a family of 6, without a hitch.........and fully expect still to be using them both in another 8 years.......
