I want to give a shout-out to Kitchen Aid [View all]

They made a standing mixer that LASTS, and then didn't mess w/ it.

I inherited my mixer--with a dough hook, beater (whisk) attachment and mixing paddle. It's probably 30 years old (possibly older).

We recently went looking for other attachments and it turns out that the attachments they sell for the newer machines FIT the older machines.

So we just bought a meat grinder attachment, and will be looking into the pasta roller in the future.

No need to buy a new machine.
