My hubs bought me a Professional KitchenAid 6qt stand mixer at
Costco several years ago. I LOVE it!
Member price is:$329.99 but worth every dollar in my opinion.
The 6-Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer is perfect for heavy, dense mixtures.
Burnished metal flat beater, PowerKnead™ spiral dough hook and
professional-style wire whip will help you mix, knead and whip ingredients
into culinary masterpieces quickly and easily. And for even more versatility,
the power hub fits optional attachments from food grinders to pasta makers
and more.
