I told DH I wanted to get my own gift this year - A Kitchenaid stand mixer. (He is not allowed to buy me a gift that has a cord and belongs in the kitchen. LOL)

Anyway, I know I want a heavy duty transmission and one with at least 325 watts. What I am not sure about is the tilt back or bowl lift feature.

Anyone have any experience on which one is preferred? I am not sure what the advantages and disadvantages are of each of these features.

Thanks.........Laura
