My Hobart Kitchen Aid used to belong to my grandmother. It doesn't match
my kitchen but it gets lots of use so it has its own spot on the 12"
wide countertop between the stove and the wall, which isn't really good
for anything else.

Having a stand mixer allows you to do other things while your bread is
kneading, or your cake is mixing. It is a handy kitchen object to have
if you have room for it. It allows for multitasking.

I can't comment on all of that electrical mumbo jumbo since I'm just a
dumb girl.
