We bought the attachments at a junk store, I think they cost less than GBP 5

TO BE HONEST, THAT IS MY BELIEF ALSO. i WATCHED THE mil PUT ALL THE
INGREDIENTS IN THE MACHINE, MIX IT ALL AND THEN PUT IT INTO A SPECIAL
CONTAINER FOR THE cROCKPOT. sHE ONLY MADE BANANA BREAD WITH IT S LONG AS
i KNEW HER. nOT that LONG, BUT NEVERTHELSS. a
i WOULD PREFER TO USE A HANDMIXER, OR SOME SUCH TOOL RATHER THAN HAUL
OUT A BIG MACHINE.
gUESS THAT IS WHY IT HAS BEEN IN THE PANTRY ALL THESE YEARS.
Sorry about the yelling, but haven't got used to the new super computer,
new keyboard, and the slide-out keyboard holder thingy!

I don't keep the Kenwood stuck away anywhere, it is right there on the
counter ready to go, likewise the Cuisinart food processor. They have
both been well used over the years. I do have a hand mixer too but
that mainly stays in the drawer except for perhaps whipping cream,
maybe egg whites.
Trying to think here - this past week I used the food processor to
make pastry and grate some spud, onion and white turnip (to make a
tiddy oggy) would never have bothered if I had to do it by hand and I
creamed some spuds in the Kenwood. Considering I only cook for me
most of the time, I would think they are still earning their keep.

In my kitchen, the KitchenAid, the Cuisinart, the electric can opener
and the Cuisinart Mini-Prep are all lined up on one counter. On a shelf
above them are all the attachments, plus the mortar and pestle (for
tender dried herbs and spices). All of these bowls and attachments go
in the dishwasher after use, except for the mortar and pestle. They are
marble, so I simply wipe them off. I doubt if I would cook half as much
if I had to haul the wretched things out from a hiding place every time
I needed them. However, I figure my kitchen is my factory floor, not a
showroom.

Same here. The Cuisinart came with an extra work bowl, and has 2 lids - the
one with the big chute, and another flat one with just a small opening in
the center - like a blender. It stays out with that lid on it, and is on the
cook island - so I can turn from the sink to the island, and use it. Gets
used a lot. The only hefty thing that doesn't stay out is the pasta maker.
It goes in a cabinet with a rolling shelf - so that it's pretty easy to lift
out. Don't use it enough to warrant counter space.
Just the 2 of us, well, and Puckster, so I've ended up making a lot of
things with half going to the freezer. Works out just fine.
