Ankarsrum. Truly BIFL.

Kitchen Aid is trash these days. I burned up an Artisan, rebuilt it, burned it up again, bought a pro-line, was well on my way to killing it, retired it to backup duty and bought an Ankarsrum. Couldn’t be happier.

Nobody even considers Cuisinart when talking stand mixers.

>Ankarsrum

I have one, and it's unstoppable when using the metal bowl and the dough hook. But the setup for beating/whipping uses that flimsy plastic bowl and the beaters run on plastic gears. I slightly damaged the teeth when I tried to cream butter that was a little too hard.

Buy an Ank and forget about everything else.
