KA Mixer does a lot of the same extras things, which you do pay maybe $100
+/- for each attachment.
I'm not sure about the prices on the Electrolux attachments -- they list
them on line. I think they are in line with the rest of the machine; none
of which I wanted, but didn't seem too exhorbitant to me; just too unwieldy
to use.

I bought the Electrolux for only batters and doughs myself. As I said, you
have to be 'ready' for it. Most people only want the KitchenAid and do
praise it.
