Mixer for home..

Question for you cooks... This would be for home use.

When we got married over 44yrs ago my Dad bought us a Hamilton Beach (I think) mixer it was chrome and on a stand. It lasted 43+yrs we bought another one (cheaper) and my wife HATES IT. So I am looking at buying her a better one for Christmas..

She does not need one that has all kinds of attachments, like the bread mixer and what ever. She just wants one that can use different size bowls and is on a stand. Any suggestions? My budget is limited to about $300.00 + or -..........

Thanks for your help.......
