European alternative to stand mixers from KitchenAid? (lemmy.ml)

I am contemplating getting a stand mixer for baking purposes, and I've always known KitchenAid as the default choice here. I would instead want something European-made, but I am unfamiliar with the landscape.

Do any of you have any experience with European models, such as the Ankarsum or Bosch OptiMUM (what kind of name is that??), or any other?

I have a good food processor and blender from before, so I don't need it to be able to handle all kinds of things that stand mixers are not meant for, but if there's some extensibility beyond just kneading that I wouldn't otherwise be able to achieve with those devices, that would be a plus.

Thanks for sharing your experience. It's at least a good indication that they used to be well-made. I always find it difficult to tell if new products are still going to be able to last as long, and I guess it is not very easy to find that out either.

The meat grinder part is not a problem for me, so if that's your only concern, then that sounds very good to me :)
