I got mine when I got married. LOVE IT, CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT IT. Six happy years later and after daily use, it finally died on christmas eve 2002. (the mixer. really by my own fault...an accident by distraction) This is a fabulous appliance, it does it all. I use it for everything from cakes, breads and cookies to pasta and mashed potatoes. (also use the meat grinder attachment) It is like a second pair of hands in my kitchen. Without hesitation I purchased another. When my oven is on, the kitchen aid is whirring away. The cost is nothing when you truly love to cook and bake and use it. If you don't, why spend the money. I am repairing my other kitchen aid and giving it to my sister, who is learning to cook.Get more detail about KitchenAid KSM150PSER Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Empire Red.
