Breville or Hamilton Beach stand mixer?

[Pogonia]

I know many are going to say Kitchen Aid, but it is not as well-built as it used to be, and the negative reviews (albeit many glowing reviews, also) dissuaded me from that. So please, don't talk about the KA.

The HB has a three-year warranty on it and good reviews, especially by Cooks Illustrated, I think it was.

The Breville is somewhat more expensive, but seems well-built. Very few reviews on it because it is fairly new on the market.

Thanks for your thoughts, everyone!

I've never heard of the two you named, but I'll throw out there that I my Viking stand mixer.

I also don't know anything about the mixer in question but LOVE my bosch universal mixer. It has a good warrenty and is amazing! It is pricey but if you are a serious baker it is worth every penny. Plus it gets good reviews.

Have fun shopping. It is a stressful choice.

I guess I didn't stumble across Viking but will check it out. Thanks.

And I would love a Bosc but it's even more than the Breville...which is as much as I can go.

Thank you both for your input.
