Yes, KtichenAid is definitely worth the higher price. I have had mine for decades. It has been repaired twice (at a very reasonable price), and I use it at least twice a week. When my children were young, I made all of our bread each week -- for many years -- and the KitchenAid mixer with its wonderful dough hook was indispensable. I have the 5-quart size.
My daughter recently bought a new KitchenAid mixer for her use. It's still wonderful, but its slowest speed is not as slow as mine. I prefer my older model, but 0-- even so -- I would recommend the KitchenAid above all other brands.
