KitchenAid has always been well respected by bakers, and for good reason. The brand makes exceptional stand mixers that are robust and built to last. When I buy a KitchenAid stand mixer, I know I won't be replacing it after a couple of years.
But this does come at a cost, and when budgets are tight, it can be difficult to justify paying out big bucks for a baking tool. My advice is always to buy the best you can afford, rather than scrimping on the lowest-quality option that might not see you through as much use.
