V Jelous - love the look of Kitchen aid... But I have a Kenwood, probably because my mother had a Kenwood (40 years old and still going strong)

. It IS fab, but not pretty

.
I can vouch for KA customer service though - I bought one of their Molten cast iron pans from TK MAx (in the days when I was near such shops!). The enamel exploded off the bottom after a couple of cooks, I couldnt find my reciept and they still replaced it.

V Happy. Now I have a knackered one which I use outside on open fires and a tidy one for the stove.
