Title: Tough, but not invincible
Review: The Epicurean has been one of the best additions to our kitchen (aside from the Pyrex digital oven thermometer). Used it to mix up batter for 20 fruitcakes (batter can get *very* stiff) one Christmas and it handled the job quite nicely. It also does very well with putting together dough for sugar spritzer cookies. We even use it sometimes to mix meatloaf. It groaned a little bit at times, but backing off on the speed seemed to make it a little happier.The 6 quart bowl gives you plenty of room to make large batches of whatever you want and the shield/pouring spot helps contain the mess.The only thing my wife complains about is the whininess of the motor. It often makes people think that there's something wrong with the mixer, but the Kitchenaid people said that's the way it's supposed to sound.If you need a large capacity mixer, this is definitely one to consider.
