Kitchenaid!!! It's the classic and it's amazing. I've had them my adult life. I wanted to shoot myself trying to bake a cake with my MIL's subeam mixer. I had no idea how much better my kitchenaid was.
My favorite childhood memories are of sitting on the counter and watching my mom make cookies in her mixer! |

Kitchen Aid. There is no other stand mixer. I've had mine for 13 years and I bake a lot, especially this time of year. Mine gets used, on average, througout the year at ;least once a week. During this time of year, I bake for a party I give in December, it gets used 3-4 evenings a week and countless times during the weekend. The thing is a workhorse.

| Kitchen aid. I took my mom's and it must be 25+ years old and going strong. I keep looking for an excuse to replace it and can not find one. |

| Cooks Illustrated just did a recommendation analysis of this - worth picking up latest issue unless someone here can recall correctly - I think the basic Kitchen Aid performed among the best. |

| I have a Kithenaid I got on Groupon for $199 (!) and it really is the best. I adore it. As others said, there really are no other stand mixers worth experimenting with. |

| You can probably find one used on craigslist as well. Lots of people get them as a wedding present but then don't end up using them much. |

My mother still has, and uses, her mother's kitchen aid mixer. It is more than 50 years old. They aren't necessarily made to the same standards today, but I have put mine through 10 years of heavy use and it still looks and runs as if it is brand new.
I am a pastry chef, and every commercial kitchen I have worked in, plus my cooking school, stocked kitchen aid mixers. |

| Get the KitchenAid with the glass bowl. Makes a difference to be able to see the ingredients while it's mixing. I think it's the Artisan series. Or you might be able to get a classic one and swap out the bowl. |

| whichever kitchenaid you can afford. I have the pro now, but the classic worked just as well. |

| Is Pro better than Artisan? |

| Kitchen aid. Worth the hype. I don't have the top of the line one and it is still fabulous. |

| All the kitchen aids work the same. I've had all 3 (one was a roommates). The pro is just larger |

| Yeah the entry kitchenaid is a great first stand mixer. |
