Title: Works great when it works!
Product review: I have owned this mixer for about 7 years. I used it mainly for frosting and cakes, and the first time I tried to make bread 5 years ago, the gears all stripped out. We called the company, and were told that we couldn't buy the parts. $350 down the drain. My husband finally talked to a manager who sent us the plastic gears that we needed. I made lots of bread over the next few years and was generally happy with the mixer, (the blender was nice too, except that the plastic has started to crack around the blades) last Feb. I decided to make sugar cookies, and the gears stripped out again. After all of the trouble it took to get the parts last time, I'm giving up... Time to move to my original plan and get a Bosch. My mother's has run without a problem for almost 30 years. That is what I expected... not what I got. A mixer this expensive with such lofty promises shouldn't break so often. I tried to go American made, and have been disapointed overall.
