Aside from the aesthetics, it does a great job on large batches of bread. It takes most of the hard work out of bread making; it kneads and I don't. While I think a lot of people use this for cake batters, etc. and I certainly use it for that, I use this for a lot of things that aren't typical. I make my own sausage such as chicken, fennel, and apple that is not only healthier but fresher. I use it to mix a variety of meatloafs. I use it for souffles that are mile high and light. It's great for anything that needs to be beaten, blended, or whipped.
I purchased a splatter shield, a whisk, and a large stainless bowl with a handle for use with this mixer. Since I already own an ice cream maker that I like I am probably not going to buy the ice cream attachment.
This mixer is easy to clean and maintain and too attractive to hide in the pantry. It works as well as my old Kitchen Aid with the exception that it has a larger capacity, more robust motor, and a lot of attachments that makes it a multi purpose kitchen accessory.
So far, after four months of consistent use I have not encountered any negatives. As an FYI, a family member has inherited my old Kitchenaid Mixer and it is still performing like the champ it is.
