I also want to buy a new 7-qt stand mixer. I have a 5-qt Hobart Kitchenaid that I bought 33 years ago, it still works great but can’t handle more than 2 lbs. of flour at a time. I read reviews of the 7-qt Kitchenaid, and even though it has a larger bowl, the motor can’t handle that much dough and it stalls out.
