start with a moderately priced one, under $50 and see how much you use
it and how you use it. When that one dies, depending on how long it
takes, you can consider getting a heavier duty model. I had bought a
black and decker years ago. I used it a lot. It wasn't meant for such
heavy use and the plastic bowl cracked. It lasted me 5-6 years. At
that point, I bought a Cuisinart. that was more than 10 years ago the
thing is going strong.

Until you know how you will use it, it makes no sense to make a big
dollar investment. I would try the $26 one from Overstock. What have
you got to lose? For the $30 investment including shipping, it will
probably serve you for a year or two minimum, and give you a good idea
of whether you actually need to go Cuisinart or Kitchenaid. If you
only use it 3-4 times a year, Wolfie will serve you well for a very
small investment. If you use it 3-4 times a week, use it till it
breaks or you find something it can't do... and get another.
