I have a Kitchen-Aid 300 watt tilt-head unit. I don't know or care what the model number is. All I know is that it works. I use it mostly for cakes, puddings, frostings, whipping heavy cream, and other light-to-medium duty uses. For breads, rolls, bagels, etc, I use my breadmaker. I got tired of waiting for someone to gift me one, so I bought one for myself last year. It's a factory refurbished Cuisinart, it will make a 1 pound, 1½ pound, or 2 pound loaf of bread and I paid less than 50 bucks for it. The only problem I've had with it is the paddle is a real bear to remove from the spindle when cleanup time comes. I have other factory refurbished Cuisinart kitchen appliances (toaster oven, blender, food processor) and they've given me no trouble whatsoever over the last 6 or 7 years, so I figured the bread machine was a good gamble.
BTW Cuisinart also makes stand mixers, and they sell refurbished ones a lot cheaper than the equivalent Kitchen-Aid model. I think the cheapest Kitchen-Aid stand mixer is around $250.00, so you could probably get a refurbished Cuisinart stand mixer and a refurbished Cuisinart bread machine for less than the price of a Kitchen-Aid mixer alone. Just a thought.
