A word to the wise: You have to be careful with the mixer on high. I have a large KitchenAid and have been told by my local KitchenAid repairman that I should definitely NOT do dough on the high setting as it's very east to torque the motor and damage the "made to fail" gear. Since he warned me, I did and it failed and the repair was $95. Best to monitor any mixer with a thick, wet dough and start out s-l-o-w. Then, at the first sound of a motor skip/slip or vibration...stop the mixer and do the rest by hand.
