Based on the myriad of reviews i have read i have found this to be so very true. and based personally on the 70 yr old KA that i have, it seems to prove it.

i used it yesterday for our Easter cake and it worked pretty well. My mom was surprised that it didnt walk. My old KA doesn't walk either, but it is not as powerful as the Kenwood either. It was a little louder, but i would guess that comes with it being 525 watts. I liked the large SS bowl as well... pretty cool and easier to handle than my other glass one.
Hopefully i will not have to send it out to get fixed, but i would think it would be worth it since i only paid $40 for it.
