Breadmaker Or Ka Mixer?

New to this game!

I want to be able to make gluten-free breads more easily. I do love to bake and I have wanted to get a KA mixer for a long time. However, I love the idea of being able to QUICKLY throw in a loaf of bread to eat along with soup, have ready for breakfast the next morning, etc. I know I can do that in the oven as well, but I wonder if maybe I won't end up baking as much bread as I would need to to keep up with all the mouths here. However, for all the other things that I will now be making exclusively from scratch (muffins, cinnamon rolls, pizza crust, etc. etc.), I can see real benefit to the KA mixer in my kitchen! Plus I like the crust on oven bread so much better (gluten, at least). Breadmaker bread is kind of "eh" in comparison, IMHO. Still good, though.

In my ideal world I would just get both right now, but in real life we need to space out these expenses, so I might be waiting on the other one for a year or two.

I looked at the Breadman tr875 but they have scary reviews at The-Site-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named-Mega-Distributor, (refurbished with no disclosure, haven't been manufactured in years, no replacement parts from the manufacturer, etc.). I have also looked at the Zo but it is BIG and UGLY. Why do they only make it in white?? Plus, it is as much as a KA mixer! If they made it in stainless and black I might get it and wait on the mixer, but oyyyy the counterspace and blinding white color make me think twice.

Have any of you decided one way or the other and lived to love/regret your decision? Do either of you have both and use one way more? I need a push. (ETA: I am a stay-at-home homeschooling mom of a preschooler and a toddler, and we'd like more kids. So life at my house is busy!)

IMO, I don't have either one so if I was to buy one...I would choose the KA mixer. Why? You can do more things with it and still make bread too.

I've got both . . . if I had to give one up, I would give up the breadmaker. I use the mixer a LOT more than the bread machine.

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
