Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had a Kitchen Aid mixer -- the old largest one -- for 15 years and I loved it. When my daughter started a soup and bread business she used the old mixer to knead her bread and it held up to heavy use for two years. When it finally gave up the ghost in early December I replaced it with a Professional 600, which was supposed to be able to manage 14 cups of flour at a time. We have now returned 5 (count 'em FIVE) of these very expensive and beautiful machines because not one of them could knead two loaves of bread. They all froze almost immediately -- we took them out of the box, loaded them up and they quit. Kitchen Aid has cheerfully exchanged machine after machine for us but the truth is that they just don't work. I am so disappointed -- I loved my old machine and Kitchen Aid's service is so good but they have a real engineering problem. DeLonghi here we come.
