My history and why I wanted one of these*

This is a thing of ... ...range ( I inherited an old Kenwood mixer some years ago and not only was it ugly but it was in orange too!). Okay, it isn't as powerful as the Artisan but it's also not as expensive and is more than adequate for everyday domestic use. Having been taught how to bake by manual methods and then progressing to a food processor to take the hard work out of creaming and whipping etc I didn't think that it could get much easier but I was wrong.
