Andrea,
If it makes you feel any better my mother had a mixer like that and ended up returning it. She gave me her old mixer though before she returned it so she ended up trading it in for the newer version of the KA mixer that size.
She returned the bigger mixer because it was too loud and too big and it seemed to really strain when she used it. My mom bakes a lot, but she was much happier with the smaller Kitchen Aid mixer. It was less noisy and easier for her to move around and stuff.
That toaster looks really nice. I could use a new one. Recently our ancient toaster decided that it only liked toasting one side of the bread so my mom gave me one that she had gotten at a dollar store, LOL. That too doesn't toast both sides of the bread very well. If I want my bread evenly toasted then I have to flip it after it pops up. So that looks like a really nice toaster and I wouldn't mind having that myself
