Kitchenaid or Bosch Mixer?

[digideb]

I have a KitchenAid. Got it for Christmas 2009. I've used it twice! I prefer my hand mixer! It's just SO big & bulky & takes up so much space so it stays under the counter in the cabinet. If I had more counter space & had room to leave it out, I think I'd probably use it more!

I heart my Bosch, and have had friends with Kitchenaides have Bosch envy when they see mine. They know the Bosch because their moms had them. My mom, MIL, and grandma all love theirs and use them a lot. I've found that easy access to mine makes me use it ALL the time, and I love it! I use it for cookies, frostings, breads, rolls. I've never used it for cakes, but I should next time because I'm never happy with our hand mixer.

My SIL is a professional chef, and she personally uses a Kitchenaide, but so did her mother. She had to upgrade to the professional one (made with stainless steel in the motor) after breaking 2 of them, but she still loves it.

If Bosch is what you are used to, then you'll probably like Bosch better. That's what it seems like to me.

OK- I did it! I researched many places. I don't make bread that often, and most places say that the Kitchenaid is better for everyday baking, while the Bosch is best for bread. I think the test that sold me was from America's Test Kitchen (I am in LOVE with them).
So... I just bought this beauty!

And I decided to add on these...

I will get it tomorrow. Now to decide what to bake when it gets here!

Thanks for all of your input! ♥
