Hi everyone, I know I've read on this list in recent years that for 
bakers, the Kitchen Aid isn't very highly thought of (I have an old 
one from when they were Hobart made, but that was then).  My younger 
daughter is a student at Le Cordon Bleu and is looking for a heavy 
duty stand mixer that will work well for breads as well as general 
purposes.  She's willing to spend as much as it takes, but she wants 
a functional, reliable (for home) machine.  She really likes the 
multi-function attachments for the KA (like meat grinder, sausage 
maker, etc.) but I don't want to see her end up with a big, expensive 
mixer-shaped sausage maker. So what are everyone's thoughts on brand 
and models of stand mixers for home bakers now?  I thank you all in 
advance for your input.

Namaste
Sue
