KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixers

The action you get with the mixer is great and mixes up anything like potatoes for twice baked potatoes. It's one mixing blade but it goes back and forth to some scientifically devised motion. I don't know what it is but it works great and anyone can use it.

My recommendation is to get the extra attachments. I have this book called the BBQ Bible and it had recipes that needed to have meat ground and sausages stuffed. The attachments are perfect for this. The best is all the attachments are easy to clean and dishwasher safe.

Try it out.

I've had mine for 2 years and just love it. I don't use it everyday, but when i do, it's so convenient. It's great because you can step away and not have to hang on to it while you're doing something else or getting more ingredients. Also, clean up is a snap and the multiple attachments make it a very versitle appliance. I usually make my mashed potatos in this. the size is just fine for everyday type stuff, but if you're into major cooking or have a very large family, you might want to go with the larger quart model with the arms that attach to the bowl. I reccommend this to anyone who cooks and to all the new brides out there. Also, another nice feature is it actually looks nice on the counter,so choose your color to match your kitchen. (i have a cobalt blue one)

This mixer is by far the best purchase I've ever made for my kitchen. It whips egg whites with ease, creates smooth creamy dressings, and takes the work out of kneading bread dough. However, my favorite part by far is the color, which draws comments from nearly everyone who enters my house. One caveat: the bowl is not big enough for the double batch of challah that I make each Friday, so I still end up kneading that the old fashioned way.
