Whats something that is only worth getting the expensive version of?
I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.
Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I'll never use a crappy blender again.
Anything else like that?

$12 blenders are fine until you want to make a frozen drink without pea sized chunks of ice in it.
As far as mixers go generally agree, unless you want to use it weekly or to make dough. To be able to make dough balls you need to have something with some cojones.
It's one of those right tool right job kind of things. If the job is to mix Pillsbury cake mix, anything works.
I make dough several times a week. But I use my hands, because I have tried using machines (including the expensive ones) and they make it wrong every time.
Maybe try using a more expensive one, lol
....I did. Like I said.
The dough hook isn't magic, it takes the beginning and middle out of your work. There are some recipes that it won't work for, anything gentle and cakey it's just too much. If you need to kneed for 10-15 minutes, it'll knock 2/3 of that time off.
