Nancy, the only complaints I have about our 20+ year old KA stand
mixer are (A) it's an older model wherein removing the bowl after a
hard mix is a little difficult, (B) you can't scrape down the sides
while mixing, or at least it's slightly inconvenient. Eventually I'll
get one of those scraper-blade-paddles and (B) will no longer be an
issue.
