Tell me about your "Mixer"

[sahbear]

oh my! Would love to hear about the thermo too - i am looking at getting one but i am not yet convinced!

i have a KA - so cant comment on the others - i do love the KA - i have the matching food processer too.

I have a Breville too! I love it. White it may not be as good as a kitchen aid, I can't see how a kitchen aid is worth double? You can still buy extra accessories for the Breville, I think it's fine!

Kimmi that is what I am starting to think...is a KA really worth double the rest of the others?

So those with KA, why are they better then others you have had??

[~Kim~]

KA gives you more power for less wattage due to a different drive system. It's all metal - no plastic in sight. A comparable mixer is the Kenwood Chef or the Breville Scraper Mixer pro, but they're both over the $550 mark.
I have the pasta attachments, the grater attachment and the ice cream bowl - all of which are used regularly so for me, yes it's worth it. As far as I know only the Kenwood offers as many attachments.

I have a Breville as well but it's nothing on my KA. The stuff that comes out of it just tastes better - ask my husband lol.

Thanks Kim for all that info! Certainly gives me something to think about, now if only KA came on special!!!

Well my wish came true...I bit the bullet and bought a KA Artisan on the weekend in a limited edition candy apple red. Oooh it looks so nice in my kitchen, I dont want to use it for fear it will get dirty!

Managed to get it on special at Kitchen Warehouse for $749 plus a $50 in store voucher which I used to purchase another smaller bowl. Am now officially in love and can't stop staring at it or stroking it!
