I'm thinking about the Artisan Model; there are just two of us and my baking is usually small scale. The professional model is beautiful but I think its too big for my counter. I would also use it to make butter; we have a farm that sells raw milk down the road and making homade butter and yogurt is one of my goals for this year.It sound as if everyone is happy with their mixers!
I got mine 5 or 6 yrs ago from a tv infomercial, real early in the morning, directly from kitchen aid. The great thing was the payments were spaced out over 4 months with no interest...a great way to get one!
I was going to get the Artisan, but dh considers things of this nature "tools" and bought me the professional instead. I love it! I mix up huge batches of meat for meatballs in it and it never slows down.
This year I'm going to try my hand at bread making with it.
I have had a Kitchen Aide for 25 years, my Dh fixed it 2 times, and it finally gave up.... Now, I have a Bosch, I would only have it....it can mix 18 to 20 cups of flour and the Kitchen aide only mixes 14 or 15.... I will ony have a Bosch now, I bake for Farmers Markets....
