Is the KitchenAid stand mixer really the only good choice? Cause holy shit, the attachments seem a tad bit pricey.
Yes. I bought mine in 1989 and it's still going strong. Just used it the other day to grind brisket and short ribs for burgers; use it to mix bread dough all the time.
Yep. Mines about that old too. Crank style - what's now the professional.
If you want something really unique and great, look for an old machine when they were still owned by Hobart (Whirlpool bought them in 86). The old K series mixers were great, all cast iron/steel, totally rebuildable, and everything is still available. Modern attachments work on old machines too.
