I think Ed is correct. Quality has gone pretty much right down the
toilet.

We we redid our kitchen last summer we purchased a Kitchen Aide and
again, like Ed mentioned, it works great. Lots better than the
Kenmore Elite that it replaced. But I had to pay 3+ times what the
others cost. But it was most likely the last kitchen upgrade I'll
ever do.

Good luck.
