Kitchenaid Pasta Maker Attachment

I am debating what to get KitchenAid, I think Costco sells a 5 (maybe 6) as a professional model for $ 200 qt. I do not mind buying the $ 300 model, but I probably would not want to go further. I like cooking very much and have taken cooking classes, but honestly, have not spent much time cooking. I usually only cook for about 2 people .. 4 .. sometimes rarely 6 +. Any recommendation of what should I do? things I could try: sandwiches, pizzas, sausages (I hear some meat grinders and sausage maker attatchments), fresh noodles. I can not think of anything I use for my girlfriend .. can be used for cakes, but smaller lots again .. recommendations on the type of model and size (I know that other accessories can be added later, but expensive if it is not already included)? Thank you a lot

I understand your dilemma because I went through the same last year. I ended up getting the model Artsian not the most expensive. I worried and worried about having enough power, make the most of it against the dollar issues. I'm glad I saved hundreds of dollars. I prefer to put it in the purchase of an attachment to the line if I want to find or that I want. (Of course there are lists of Christmas and birthday presents to give to their relatives and friends are not there!)
I found one I have to be more than enough and I am a gourmet who loves to cook and cook. If money is no issue, I would probably have got the most expensive, but I'm still not sure I would have. The only thing I dislike about it, is the fact that the bowl is so narrow on the bottom, it does stir things are not always as well, I think it should. Oh well. I knew I want a head lock and everything that the model craft a. I think you would do well with artsian unless you start a bakery house or something like that! Good luck. (They are heavy, but if the plan to plant it somewhere easy to access and use)

I would get the largest you can afford. I have one of the smaller ones that have the swivel head - I would have got the biggest with the locking arm to the bowl.

I say Go! and get the mixer 6QT professional. If you can afford to splurge, you might as well get the biggest and best. This way, you'll never be limited by the capacity and / or power.

I have a 5-quart KitchenAid mixer red and it has the attachments you mentioned. You can get a juicer and other objects too. I use it a lot. I can make a batch of cookie dough in it without any problem. I use it for bread, dough hook is great because it reduces the mixing must be done. This is a Nice strong blender is very versatile. When I came to myself, I thought I would use it from time to time, yes, right. I use it at least two to five times a week. I use it for baking cookies, bread, cakes, biscuits, pancakes, waffles, you name it. It is a wonderful device. Good luck

Go with the model "Professional" you will not be used disappointed.and it all your life.

When you buy a car and it's just you and your squeeze, the 2nd-horsepower under the hood is what you have chosen. The father? The biggest thing he could afford because he has a lot of baggage to deal with. Here's another thought, that will drive or an SUV that fit your garage (Cabinet / cons), and do not forget the luggage rack. What is your scenario

I would say go with the $ 200. Works great for everything you do at home.

The bigger is better, I always say. Seriously, I have a culinary background, and you want the most. You do not want.
