Best way to answer that is to use one. Know anyone that has one where
you can do your usual batch and compare finished product? Would be good
to see if the texture is better, or not.


Next, what else do you do or want to do? Your method sounds simple
enough and worked for centuries but with attachments there are many
options with a mixer. With cakes, you can weigh and mix ingredients in
one step. You can shred and grind ingredients. You can grind your own
meat for burgers or sausage making. You can roll and cut pasta.

Cleanup is easy. Just toss the bowl and mixer blade in the dishwasher.
