How to select the best stand mixer for baking and cooking projects?

Hey bakers and chefs! 🍰 I'm in need of a versatile stand mixer that can handle everything from kneading dough to whipping cream. Any recommendations for stand mixers with robust motors, durable construction, and useful attachments? Let's mix it up in the kitchen! 🥄

I think the first thing to consider is the motor power. More wattage means it can handle tougher doughs and bigger batches. 💪
