I'm jealous. My Cuisinart is only 7 years old and showing no signs of
conking out, although the white plastic base has turned yellow. It
does everything I need it to do, including whip things with a beater
attachment, but still...I like all those extra prep bowls on your
Kitchenaid...

Today I used it to make pizza and foccaccia via Mark Bittman's recipe,
with the regular, not the dough blade. A snap.
