I have a very old one and I love it. It's very heavy and takes up a lot of space. I don't use many of the attachments.

I have the pasta roller set but they make other sets which have a few different attachments. Really it'll depend on what you plan to use it for. They can be expensive but so is the mixer.

If I was buying one today I might look at the Kenwood or another model. I have read that they replaced some internal metal parts with plastic and they break much more easily today.

- If you'll use it's a nice appliance. Mine is a hand-me-down and I'm not sure I'd drop the loot on a new one considering how often I use it. - Krusty Nov 1, 12:11 4
  - this is exactly me too ... I inherited my mom's - and it's a workhorse for baking - they just don't make them like it anymoer - JenBro Nov 1, 12:38
  - I make fresh pasta a few times a year. I like rolling & cutting it by hand. I never make bread. -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 1, 12:22 2
    - the powered pasta roller attachment is so much easier than the hand crank things - zeiiiiiitgeiiiiiiiiist Nov 1, 12:28
    - if you don't do much baking, I don't know how much use you will get out of it. -- nm - loosi at home Nov 1, 12:28
