<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I just burned out my little hand mixer on an apple cake, so now I am interested in purchasing a stand mixer and have been looking at Kitchenaids on ebay. Since I am not familiar with the features, I am asking for help. I do not make my own bread, but do other baking. I see features such as a tilt head, or one where the bowl raises up. I see pouring shields, etc. Just what are the best features to have? And what about motor size? Please tell me what you like and don't like about any features. Thanks a bunch.
