The price is really high but it's great !!! It's been several months that I use every day, it's incredibly easy life when we do a lot of baking !!! I kneaded my bread and my buns, I also use it for my pasta to cakes or whip. The bowl is large, which is a plus when you have a lot of dough to knead and there is no plastic that breaks and contain questionable substances that could pass into the food ... I never use the splash party, I do not find the need ... I recommend +++
