This is where I start to feel like a poor relative.

12 months after a KitchenAid mixer finally made it to Australia - now
available in very upmarket stores - I am now told to avoid it like the
plague,

For the hell of it, I did a search on Electrolux mixers. Ziltch in
Australia; looks impressive at Amazon (US).

However, my ancient Kenwood Chef (KM210) still works and kneads about 3.5
lb of dough (after autolyse). Which is lucky because most of its
(frequently-used) attachments are no longer available in Australia,

I note that Kenwood is now <made|marketed> by DeLonghi - which is regarded
as a "good guy".

Any DeLonghi advice available - since. sooner or later, the Kenwood will
breath its last?
