used it quite a bit myself, and I love it.

I may not be understanding correctly but what's wrong with something
like what I've got?

Nowt wrong with it at all, but I've known about the Bamix ones since I
worked in a hotel back in the 70's for a summer. It was great to use
then, and they haven't needed to change much. They used to be found
only in professional kitchens, but when the market was opened up to home
cooks, they became better known outside the trade. Take a look:

They cost about £85 here in the UK, and are well worth it.

My Braun one, the old type 4-166 with variable speed and additional
basket whisk is large and heavy by comparison, and the motor is not as
good. It has served me very well over the years, and if I didn't know
about, and had never used the Bamix, I'd be looking for a direct
replacement. As I do and have, I'm looking at putting the Bamix on the
Christmas wish list. It's smaller, lighter, and works better,
especially on larger quantities.
