“My kenmore mixer is a necessity!”
I have the kitchenAid mixer and have used it for about 4 years. It is heavy duty for my needs. I love to bake and make multiple batches of cookies. It has no problem mixing it. It has many mixer settings for all my needs. The only drawbacks for me are when I try to add ingredients it does not have much clearance between the bowl and the mixer attachment. I find the I must scrape the bowl thoroughly to ensure a good mix. It is very heavy to lift but I recently remodeled my kitchen and added a mixer lift and now I use it more frequently. I enjoy using it often.
