It seems like most of you have had your KA for a long time---if you were going to buy one now, which one would you recommend? I am going to gift myself this year with this mixer since I have wanted one for years but they are so pricey I have stalled.....but after reading this thread I'm gonna get 'er done!!! I need some recommendations--there are so many offered on the website. I do bake alot & do breads, some canning, and like making all I can from scratch. Hope to hear some suggestions from you all!!! And I love gadgets!
