Folks,

I don't do much baking yet as I am so lasy I don't like making doughes and
cake batters by hand so I am looking at mixers such.

I have a bit of an eye for the "kitchen aid" brand.

It looks like it is built to last with nothing that isn't functional.

What are your thoughts.

It sounds like you only need a hand mixer. I've had them
all from $10 cheapies to Kitchen Aide. Go for the
inexpensive one. If it breaks down, buy another. You don't
need 10 speeds, I've done that and found I only use
lo/med/hi (mainly low & high) anyway. The only thing I can
say constructively about "which mixer" is that you *might*
want to look for some sort of a "governor" on the motor so
it won't burn out if you try to mix something that's too
stiff.

As for stand mixers, I got a Braun back in the olden daze...
it's still going strong, but sometimes I wish I'd ponied up
the dough and gotten a Kitchen Aide. Beginning with the
baloon whisk and that paddle, KA does more things better.

However, it doesn't sound like what you intend to do
requires a stand mixer, so save your money and your counter
space. Get a hand mixer.
