Summary: K45 - Seriously folks...


	I agree that the recommendation of Consumer's Union carries a 
stigma, but DO consider the K45 KitchenAid Food Preparer. The major difference
between the K45 and the K5 is that of size. Either machine can handle the most
difficult tasks within the capacities of their respective bowls. If you're not
cooking for a large number of people or professionally, the K45 should do
nicely. I have used mine for even moderately large jobs for that last ten
years.

	The one thing the K5-A can do that the K45 cannot is use a jacketed
bowl. The K5-A has an optional jacketed bowl to surround the mixing job with
either cold or hot water. The hot can be used for making, for instance,
Quenelles (q.v.).

	Word was several months ago, that Hobart had sold their KitchenAid
division to Whirlpool. That transition will likely take a considerable time,
and I've seen nothing about the change since it's announcement. Check the
fine print: if it's made in Troy, Ohio, chances are it's a vintage Hobart-made
model.
