If you live near a Williams Sonoma, they are closing out their own design KitchenAid stand mixers that have 400 watts of power instead of the standard 325 watts of the Artisan model. Currently, in Houston at least, they have marked these down to $195.00 and this is the 5 quart model. I have an old 300 watt Ultra that broke down recently and I am sending back to KitchenAid for a quote on repair. But I have also bought a Williams Sonoma Accolade brand.
However, be warned. It is VERY noisy, and I feel that ear plugs should be worn when using it.
Also, the meat grinder attachment is okay for small jobs, but you can't use it for big meat grinding jobs.
