If you chip your knife you just put it to the stones to repair. And hobarts are industry standard mixers for the food industry that vary in size from 5L to volcanic caldera. But they are built like a tank and easy to repair with plenty of easy to find spare parts. A lot of bakeries that make really high end stuff probably have the exact same hobart inside. Probably not that ancient as the one on the pic, but those things barely changed from their inception. And with interest of cooking increasing a lot of restaurant gear is finding its way into home kitchens. Nothing sears a steak indoors better 3500W induction hob with big cast iron skillet on top. And if cooking on a wok - having 120k BTU burner makes it much more pleasant and smooth experience. Interestingly with gas burner efficiency - 120k BTU in gas are just a tad more powerful than the 3.5kw induction. There is good reason why Alton Brown always says to obtain things from hardware and restaurant supply store. And let's say in consumer ovens that are not built to gastronorm or hotel pan specs finding additional trays, sheets, grills etc that fit is PITA.
