As a satisfied KitchenAid owner I have to ask:
Why would a stand mixer need an app, or even software? Professional mixers get by fine with a simple timer.
Yeah, I'd rather not. Just stir the damn thing.
If their quality doesn't go to shit, I'll be a lifetime Kitchen Aid dumb stand mixer customer.
I mean, integrated recipies seem helpful, as it can tell you what when to add and with the scale already integrated it seems convinient. No? And some models have an integrated induction heater (up to 180°) so they can cook as well. So if you are alone and cooking a onepot or sth. you dont have to get out the pans or use the oven. I even heard of a device which is connected to a recipie database and an shopping-list-app. It seems convinient if everything is connected.
This is just another thing to break and to be monetized.
The scale and cooker feature sound useful, but the recipe DB is a stupid gimmick.
Screens and apps are just things to break. Buttons and dials last forever.
