    Help with advice on purchase of less expensive stand mixer!

    I have always used the Kitchen Aid Mixers and replaced one a couple of years ago.   The replacement (same model as I had) is definitely not as good as the one I had - nothing Kitchen Aid is anymore since they are not made by Hobart/Kitchen Aid now).

    I need a mixer for a second home and really do not want to spend the 2 or 3 Hundred dollars for one.   I have been looking at these two models under $100. and wondered if anyone on the BB has one and can offer advice on these models - or any other inexpensive model.   If I were going to spend more money, I would probably go with one of the big Cuisinarts as they seem to be getting good reviews.    I'm not planning on doing that much heavy baking there but I could change my mind.   

    Anyway - these are the two I'm considering right now:

    Kenmore 16-Speed White Push-Button Stand Mixer Kenmore

    $89.99$74.50 1 Used

    This one has the higher wattage - there are also Sunbeams that are selling for under $100.

     

    The one below - the Cuisinart small model - doesn't have as many watts but does convert to a hand mixer (which would be handy and keep me from having to buy a hand mixer).   It is also a bit smaller and wouldn't take as much room on the counter top.    The storage and counter top space in the second home kitchen is pretty good but I'm also the type that likes to keep these appliances out so they are ready to use at all times.

    Cuisinart HSM-70 Power Advantage Hand/Stand  Mixer

    Thanks for your help - tried to include the pictures but even copying first to word wouldn't get the job done!

    At our local Wal-Mart this week I saw they had a Sunbeam stand mixer on clearance, was orig $100 marked down to $70.  Just something to check on, I thought it was a good price.
