When you say lightly used, you must know which model you are getting. The “mechanical” one, with the bowls like what Best Buddy is describing is from the good quality machine. The “electric” or electronic ones are much less strong and not necessarily worth the $. I have the better version and it is good, has the advantages like what big deal say (cover, putting pieces in the bottom of the bowl when not in use). Some of the attachments that might be worthwhile is the meat grinder (can make homemade chopped liver with this or meat patties) and the cookie paddles – this is great for making a bigger batch of cookie dough that the bread dough hook can’t mix together and the whisks also don’t do well with. The cookie paddles are a great middle that makes terrific cookies.

One final comment about the Bosch that I’d like to make. This “good” model is no longer being manufactured unfortunately. You should look on line to see what kind of attachments you can still get for it. I was in need of a new plastic bowl more than 2 years ago and wanted to get all of the standard attachments with it since mine were not in such great shape. I was told by the place where I ordered it that I was getting one of the last they had in stock and that they’d almost had to cancel my order. Just be cautious.

Enjoy your purchase if you decide to go through with it. Make sure to bring a new supply of cookies/brownies/whatever you are baking to the CR since we’re running low on treats right now.
