One of my old roommates used to own a 15-year-old KitchenAid mixer that he inherited from his parents. It worked like magic. After I moved out, I saved up to buy one of my own. When it came, I made French bread twice in two weeks. It worked amazingly.
On its third run on the third week, the mixer stopped working while it was kneading bread dough. It just kind of got stuck in the dough and couldn't push through the dough's resistance. The motor still seemed to be working, but instead of turning the dough hook (which stayed dead still), the motor kept making unbearably loud and obnoxious noises. It still didn't work when I dislodged the bit from the dough, too. I am so disappointed. I understand breaking down after 4-5 years, but seriously? 3 weeks?
I might try to purchase another one from elsewhere and see how that goes. FYI, the same mixer (in the same pink color) is $50 cheaper at Williams-Sonoma website.
My wife had been asking for a KitchenAid mixer for about 4-5 years; however, it was tough to pull the trigger on such a pricey item. After her Sunbeam died (it did last about 4 years), I decided to petition Santa for the KitchenAid. The price was right on Amazon, cheaper than what I could get it for in a store. The shipping was super fast and the package was in pristine shape. The wife has used this on several occasions, and I have reaped the rewards on those occasions. This mixer absolutely makes a difference in the end product. She loves it and I feel it was a good kitchen investment. The pink was a little bit more expensive, but was for a great cause.
