Hi Shanmac - I researched TM for 5 years prior to biting the bullet. I also wanted the kitchen aid because I thought it would do everything that I wanted. I am sooo happy that I decided against it, so big and bulky and so many bits to clean and......
The TM is compact, totally efficient, so easy to clean, not to mention that the KA doesn't cook. I have never used a mixer, blender, juicer whatever since getting the TM. I am still pretty new to all this and the only other device I do use is my big wheat grinder, but for anyone other than me you would do that in the TM also. Hope your TM time comes soon.
