Geeze, Chickensoup - now I feel like dirt for recommending Kitchen Aid. Could it be that they just aren’t as good as they used to be? ;-)
I replaced a 1994 WORKHORSE kitchen aid with manual dials because it was starting to rust and the front was beat up. I wanted their stainless tub upgrade, had to take the lousy solid state computers and it has been a mess.
I know. They just don’t make stuff like they used to, do they? I now have a Thermador, and it is so quiet I’m never sure if I turned it on or not. It also leaves my dishes spot free.
