Presently, I have the 4.5 quart Kitchen Aid stand mixer. Ryan & I received it as a wedding gift from his parents and grandparents. It's a perfectly lovely mixer and has served me very well these past 12 years. Unfortunately, it does have a few deficiencies. Some minor inadequacies.
You see, just about 2 years ago, I decided that I was going to make all of our bread. And I do. I do it at least twice a week. And I curse the mess my small mixer makes each time. The 4.5 quart bowl simply isn't big enough for the recipe I like to use. I spend more time cleaning up the flour that explodes out of the bowl and the bread dough that creeps up the hook and beyond, then I do actually making the bread. It's frustrating.
This, however, would take away all of my cares and frustrations. When making bread, that is. It's so amazingly beautiful, it brings tears to my eyes. No fooling. It's so sleek, so pretty, so big, so...not mess making. I wish I had one. I think my life would be complete if I did.

If you do get it, I would love to take the other one of your hands. :) I have wanted one forever!!
My plan, if I do ever get the bigger one, is to keep the 4.5 quart to use exclusively as the wheat grinder.
Ooo pretty! I hope you get it. :) I think I need to come take a bread-making lesson!
Rebecca - I think the RS is planning for me to do a demo sometime around February. You can come watch me make bread then. (In my new mixer, Ryan. Just in case he reads comments.)
It's on sale for Black Friday right now, and also has a $50 rebate!
