This machine has plenty of power but the beater attachments leave 1/2" of dough/batter unmixed on the walls of either bowl. I don't have the blind love for the "idea" of the kitchenaid brand that most of the self-declared gormet buyers have--it flat-out isn't worth it unless you need to be seen using one to fit in with your friends. It's a great deal in dollars per pound and "old world" charm. I have actually gone back to using my $60 consumer quality dual-beater mixer. I think this mixer really shines when you bolt on the saussage-maker or cigarette-roller attachment on the PTO sticking out the front.
