Don’t have time to read the entire thread, so I apologize if I’m repeating someone: after more than 10 years of saying I’d wait to renovate the kitchen before getting the Kitchenaid stand mixer (not enough space) and finally getting one this past Christmas, I don’t know why I didn’t break down sooner. I love it (and mix everything from cookies to bread in it). It’s an Artisan, so the head tilts back. If I have trouble adding ingredients, I just detach the mixing tool, add the stuff, and re-attach the tool.

We got it from a kitchen supply store that sells refurbished Kitchenaid mixers and saved a lot off the list price (I think you can get these through Amazon, too, but returning might be harder), although every department store seems to hold big sales on them at times. Costco sells one model, but it’s so large we would have had to move the car out of the garage and keep it there (or do that costly kitchen renovation).
