Showing Original Post only (View all)Should I buy the Kitchenaid standing mixer? is there a reliable, less expensive substitute? [View all]
Ive been hesitant to buy because of the price and because of the lack of counter space.
I see cheaper alternatives on Amazon but dont trust the reliability.
I hope to get some opinions to help decide if this a worthwhile investment and/or recommended alternatives.
