Two marriages ago (about 1964, or so) my mom & dad gave me(us) a KitchenAid 6-Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer for our 1st Anniversary.

That healthy mixer is still doing daily-duty with my first-born daughter and may last another life-time (or two) without a single problem.

Thank you, KitchenAid (!!!).
