Does anyone use a kitchen aid mixer, small Hobart, or any other type of mixer to make sugar. Any thoughts or insight appreciated.

I use an upright countertop KitchenAid. I wouldn't do over a quart at a time, I'd be concerned about burning out the mixer's motor. Ted
If you do go with a kitchen aid, make sure you go with a higher end model. The cheaper ones have plastic gears and the better ones metal gears. Researched this last year for my wife's Xmas present.
I use the wife's 6 quart pro model and do 1/2 gallon without a problem.
You want one that the mixer head does not tip up. The bowl goes up and down. These are the ones with metal gears. There is some kind of a replaceable shear mechanism built in so you won't ruin the motor. My daughter who bakes looked into this last summer when she got one. Not a lot of price difference for the good ones.

Ya, I got a heck of a black Friday deal on it. Think it was $210........believe it was the pro 600?? Can't remember exactly but yes, it does not tip up like some do.
I got a deal on my wife's 600 pro (with extra warranty) but she hasn't let me use it yet. 1/2 Gallon at a time sounds good to me.

half gallon at a time sounds great to me, Can the KA handle it, sounds like some have tried. I can only do 16 oz at a time by hand. takes me about an hour per half gallon by hand. What attachment do you all use?
