Well after years of swearing, I finally did it... I sold my Mixmaster
(motherless, under-powered trash, mainstay of an earlier generation).

I have been planning on buying a Kicthen-Aid mixer (by Hobart).  I know
they are pretty much the standard for bakeries/restaurants.

What I would like to know is:

	1) I presume power is no problem (including bread kneeding).

	2) They make two "regular sized" models, which one should I
	   get? (I saw a floor model that stood 6 feet tall in a bakery
	   recently).

	3) Do they have a tendency to throw food (as did the Mixmaster).

	4) I remember reading on the net a while back about Hobart being
	   bought by a larger company and rumors of "there goes the neighborhood".
	   Any truth to the rumor.

	5) Anyone care to make a testimonial (pro/con)?


Well, I will be mixing by hand for a while anyway...
