I have the 7qt pro and the smaller 5qt... both gifts to me from my partner... I run a semi-commercial kitchen (I make all the pastries and desserts for a restaurant... I use the pro for breads/cinnamon rolls and the smaller for egg whites, small batches, etc... I also use a large Ninja blender for crusts and such

I would strongly urge you to get the KitchenAid Pro
