This is only tangentially related, but if you think you should buy a Kitchenaid mixer, you really should look at Bosch's offerings for a mixer instead. More than twice the wattage in the motor. My wife has been making bread with ours multiple times a week for almost 20 years. And you never have to stop the mixing to "scrape down the sides" like you do with Kitchenaid mixers.
