We want something that beats and whisks obviously. Shel makes a lot of doughs (pizza, bread), so the dough attachment is the majoring drawing card here, and she is also wanting to get in to make pasta for us (you know what they say, once you go fresh you never want to go back!).
The mincing is another bonus that we'd be interested in!
Because of Jazzy's intolerances to flabours, preservatives and colours we pretty much have to make most things at home by hand. We've been a bit boring but are wanting to do more (like the fresh pasta) and more sauces and homemade things. (blah Friday night, lost my words, but I'm sure you know what I mean)
What's the difference between Kitchenaid, Keenwood Chef, and Mixmaster? And what are the other things that they can do? Do they do anything else?
I only know my KA, sorry leash! I love it! My brother has a kenwood and his big whinge is that mine came with the dough hook and he had to purchase his (and cost him a pretty penny too!) separately.
Depending on the attachements you get with the KA you can, whip, blend, knead, mince, puree, make sausages, pasta, (macaroni, lasgne, spaghetti, noodles etc) shredding, make icecream, and heaps more but my brain aint working either, cant find the book either...hopefully someone else will come along and help you out!

I just Layby-ed a Kitchen Aid at Browns Plains for $699, if you decide to go that way.
TBH, I didnt really do much research, I just always had my heart set on the KA LOL.
But I have heard that the Kenwood is heaps noisy-er.
I only have a KA too, but I have all the attachments you mentioned. The dough hook came with it but the mincer and pasta attachments were extra (read a lot extra).
I'm pretty sure it's Limeslice, but someone here swears by the Kenwood. I remember them posting that it has a more powerful motor.
My mum has a Kenwood and since they're roughly the same price for the machine I would have gotten one, but the KA looks so much nicer and TBH nothing I do really requires a more powerful motor than the KA. I think when I looked the Kenwood attachments were roughly the same price as the KA.
I didn't even look at the Sunbeam. I have their basic model and the exxie one was no-where near as powerful as the other two.
I just want to say I am jealous because I have been lusting after a cherry apple KA (the hot red one)!!! DH said no cause we can't afford it... But one day I will get my KA with the attachments!!! Maybe when DH gets an overseas deployment I will get my KA....
*sigh*
