I have a five quart, 350 watt. If I were buying a new one. I would get a six quart with the
highest wattage available, just for dough mixing and longevity (and for recipes that take a
long beating, like French Silk Pie or Divinity. I love my lift bowl mechanism better than the
old style mixer I had when I got married.

Unless we have some sort of a side business or use the machine
stupidly, I sincerely doubt there will ever be a problem with the
gears.

The likes of Jamie Oliver make it look so easy to use but I'm just about
ready to sell mine or even give it away! The last batch I made was to
practise so that I could show my grandchildren how to make pasta. I
found it more trouble than it was worth in the end.
An Italian friend, who is a superb cook, told me that she never bothers
to make her own with all the good quality product out there.

We use ours mostly for rolling out sheets for ravioli. We had the hand
one years ago but gave it away in favor of a motor.

How does one do egg and tuna salad in a stand mixer? I'm curious.

I do egg salad in a bowl with a pastry blender and tuna in a bowl with a
fork.

I think that's the problem. One needs that extra hand that's turning the
crank.

Basically the same as if you were hand mixing, only I use the paddle
to do it.
I mix on low speed, so while it's mixing, I get the bread toasting and
plate the olives, pickles, chips etc...

I have both the bowl with the handle, and the one without. They both get
stuck pretty tightly at times, but I actually find the one without the
handle easier to put brute force to so I use the unhandled bowl more often.
I do love the beater with the scraper and I'm sure you will too. I don't
care for the plastic shield at all and seldomly use it since it just seems
to be in the way. I've never tried the meatloaf in it, but I do make
meatloaf often and will try that.

I have a very old one and a fairly new one, and I do think that the newer
one is somewhat flimsy compared to the older one. The locking plastic knob
and the plastic speed knob broke fairly soon on the new one and I had to
replace them.

Depends on how often you use the thing, and how generous the Chinese
person who mixed the plastic for the gears that day was feeling of
course.

This is why I decided to buy a Blend-Tec. That and the way that it is
set up, with the gearing below the bowl and a shaft hooking into a
washable geartrain / beater set.

It's quite a bit more expensive but the warranty is excellent and they
are made in America.

Now, a long time ago when I was in high school, I took "foods" class.
We had a Kitchen-Aid floor-mounted mixer that probably was WWII
surplus. It broke a kid's wrist and just kept on going!

Waiting for it to arrive. Anticipation.

Luckily for me, my new mixer arrived at 9:30 this morning!
23 hours after ordering.

Oy, carrot cake is my favorite.

I took out a couple of pounds of butter. I should have
done that yesterday but who knew estimated Friday delivery
would turn into Wednesday morning.

I was planning to make chocolate chip cookies.

For tuna salad I use a fork too... for egg salad I use an egg slicer
and slice each egg both ways. I think using a mixer for either would
just make a big mess to clean up, and lousy salads. I'd rather spend
the dollars on an Evenrude:

I don't know if I said, but I saw remarks about this issue in the
comments on amazon, and the reviewer updated to include correspondence
from Kitchenaid that they have gone back to metal gears. I wasn't
able to figure out what I had until looking at the box. Yay!

The Blend-Tec web site says it's a "mixer", says nothing about it
being a *stand* mixer... from what I can see it appears to be more of
a multi-function Toy R Us gizmo.

One thing ... I know I didn't manage to respond to
every post, I'm easily distracted, what can I say.
But I wanted to say thanks for all the suggestions
and feedback. I really appreciate it.

Chocolate chip cookies! Seemed like an appropriate starter

The problem, as I see it, is that it made whipping up cookie
batter WAY too easy. Hee.

Persevere. My DIL got one as a wedding present and after lots of
practise makes all sorts of wonderful pasta with it. I've had a go on
her handcrank machine and found I really needed a spare pare of hands,
one pair to feed and crank and the other to catch the pasta. DIL found
the same to begin with but now manages by herself.

They always make things look so easy on TV although it doesn't take
too long to figure out how to use the hand crank. My DD also has the
pasta attachment for her machine. I'll borrow it someday and
experiment.

I remember my exSIL either did hers with a rolling pin or used the
hand crank. Her family gave her the motorized version, but she
returned it because she preferred having more control over the
process. I wish I'd learned how to roll pasta from her because
rolling out the dough is a real learning process as far as knowing
when to stop. I always end up making my dough thinner than I like.
It's not one of those things I remember until I start eating it and
then I realize I needed to stop at a higher number (then forget the
next time I do it).
