Consider what you want to do with it. That is a light duty mixer with a
small bowl. If you intend to use it for baking it would be fine but if that
includes a lot of breads, you'll probably not have good luck with it. I
went with the beats, the Pro 6. I got it refurbed for about 250.00. It can
do anything I throw at it including 2 pounds of bread dough.
