Kenmore Stand Mixer vs Kitchenaid/Cuisinart

I saw the cuisinart at bed bath and beyond...felt like a piece of junk, lots of plastic and the top wouldn't stay on on two of them.

Needless to say the Kenmore came out to $190 after coupon codes, sale and bing cash back(after tax). I'll pay closer to $300 for the kitchenaid equivilient. Haven't actually picked anything up so I haven't been charged yet but the price isn't too shabby.

btw shipping to kitchenaid after the warrenty is up is quite pricy as well. Eh... who knows.

Kenmore Stand Mixer vs Kitchenaid/Cuisinart

Just noticed Kenmore also has a stand mixer but don't see many reviews on it. Anyone own one? They're in the same price range as the Kitchenaid/Cuisinart, accept kitchenaid attachments and have a 5 year warrenty for about $250. Buying something this week and ohy...the decision is killing me for some unknown reason :)

Kitchenaid Gearbox's - 2009

I'm also considering the 5qt Cuisinart honestly...the tilt towards Kitchenaid is if I buy it from Costco I know I can always exchange for another one should anything happen to it. Realistically I want the Bosch but out of my budget for the Kitchen Machine and they don't make the Compact anymore :(

Thanks for the response... This is the one I've been looking at:

Kitchenaid Gearbox's - 2009

I could sift through(and have) emails on kitchenaid's for days so I thought I'd make a nice easy post for others to pick out on the subject. I'm interested in picking up a Kitchenaid mixxer, particularly the one Costco is selling. I've read all sorts of issues about the plastic gearbox's cracking and just saw one post about them now having a metal gearbox so could someone tell me please if these are worth buying again? I really don't have the extra dough(Ba bum) to spend on a Bosch but don't want to buy something I know will be a lemon.

Appreciate any help with this...thanks
Matt
