Strengths: Heavy duty, does everything.
Weaknesses: None.
Summary: I have now owned my 6-qt stand mixer for about 4 months, and it has become an indispensible kitchen tool. I have used it for everything from light-weight, high-speed tasks (meringue, whipped cream), through medium-weight mixing (cake batter, quick breads), to real heavy-weight work (several types of stiff dough, including bagel dough and two loaves of 100% high-protein whole-wheat flour bread) and I have been very impressed with its performance. There is something of a learning curve in getting the best use from it and in adapting recipes if you are used to mixing things by hand. Bread dough seems to need slightly more flour than making it by hand, or else the dough will stick to the dough mixing hook and not knead. The first couple of times this happened to me I was very discouraged about the possibility of ever getting a good loaf of bread, but once I got the hang of the technique, I have been able to make some amazing bread and pizza dough, better than I can usually accomplish with hand kneading. It is so easy to use (basically just dump the ingredients in the bowl and let it work for a few minutes) that we almost never buy bread any more, and it makes much less mess in the kitchen.
