I have a 3.5, from the 70’s, in that shit avocado “green.”

I run dough in it at least once a month. 
 

Been thinking about a new one, but we’ll see. Would be nice when hosting, or family gatherings to not have to mash potatoes in two runs.

Hang onto it.  It's probably better than anything you can get on the market now.  When they moved away from the metal gears the durability and reliability of the motors really took a hit.

For mashed potatoes, the food mill I posted above would be great for the really creamy stuff, although I just use a tater-masher and lots of butter/cream/sour cream.  I'd keep that old one and have it serviced/greased.

I sure won't be getting a new Hobart that I looked at just now. Not for no $5k. 😂

Worth it, but not for me at that price point.

From that review linked above, the Bosch seems to be the sweet spot pricewise if you're doing a lot of bread.

I've looked at Bosch in the past. One of these days I'll act on something.

I don't do a ton of dough, but I do at least once (more time than not twice) a month.

Ankarsrum for bread and any other heavy kneading. Plus it's silent.
