So far I've made a cake from scratch with the thing and a batch of bread
dough (4 loaves of French bread). Worked like a charm. I have a slight
learning curve on it as I have used an Oster Kitchen Center since 1981.
It still works, well, parts of it, so the wife will take it to her
classroom to mix papier mache for her art students. Old machines live
forever in our family.

I have the stainless one so it's fairly easy to clean and the splatter
shield really helps. Was mixing the cake dough at highest speed and it
didn't even get the spatter shield dirty. Guess the oscillation of the
paddle does the job. I like not having to scrape down the sides of the
bowl too.
