I got the predecessor to the wedding 16 years ago. Since I am an avid cook and cake baker, I have this great machine really used much. Now she has given up the ghost. On the same day I ordered a new one, this same model. I'm really happy with it. There is a good value for money. I also use very often the vegetables of Schnitzler is already in the other two models. The only drawback: yeast or Germ-doughs are not as well suited for this machine. Because I would rather resort to a Kenwood. For an average 4-person household like mine, but it was enough anyway.
