For most of the stuff that I use a stand mixer for, my Sunbeam
MixMaster was as good as (or better than) the KitchenAid I currently
have. I don't make bread using the mixer, nor do I grind grain or
meat. My MixMaster is still going fine at a friend's house....

MixMasters are fine mixers, they just don't have the capacity that a
KitchenAid does (which is why I got the KitchenAid). We refurbished
an old (1960s) MixMaster as a wedding gift for friends, and they are
really happy with it...(both of their moms had one...).
