Kitchenaid mixer

This has been one of my wisest investments.I feel that some of my work load in the kitchen runs soo much smoother since i purchased the mixer.Before i made this purchase i used to use a regular hand mixer which would make my hand hurt.I love making cakes and cookies and such but with the hand mixer it used to be a pain since i knew my hand will eventually hurt.But with this new mixer i am able to make my cakes and cookes with almost no work involved.It also mixes everything faster then if you would mix it with the hand mixer.I love that you can just through everything in the bowl and just set it to mix.The had tilts back and you can just add the ingredients which I love since there is so fuss with it.I now can make my daughter cookies almost every weekend.I also like that it is easy to clean up.It is similar to hand mixers with it comes to the blades that part is still a little tedious but it is ok.
