    After a bit of researching (aka avoiding putting the rubbish out), I think that the only attachment we shouldn't buy from the US is the ice cream attachment - because it attaches to stem (err, not official term) of the planetary mixer part. And the Aus/Eur machines have that annoying ring thing to meet safety requirements, and the US machines don't have that. You probably could buy the ice cream attachment from the US and then order the right parts from Aus, but by then the prices might be so close that it might be worth just spending an extra $20 and buying from an Aus retailer.

    So I think the motors/voltage and the safety ring might be the only differences between models - so the other attachments should fit. They are made in the US after all, you'd think they'd be the same...
