They're pretty much everywhere, but I don't really see the point. I was
watching a holiday baking competition recently and one of the contestants
broke a large chip out of the KA glass bowl which ruined his recipe of
course. These days I don't make many large amounts, so usually just use the
hand mixer.

Same here and when I make pastry, I just make 'rough puff' pastry. Easy
stuff and we like it.

I rarely get my big mixer out.
