What you wrote makes perfect sense and that's the reason I was looking for a basic no nonsense devices. I don't need or use any special features or programs in any of my appliances anyway. For me these are all just more things that can break down after a while.
BTW I had to replace some electrical command boards in my mom's fridge, oven, acs and other devices. Often the cost was almost as high as getting a whole new appliance. The only reason I chose to repair instead was all the secondary costs such as shipping, installation, disposal of the old unit etc.
I actually already have a wierd (orange) 70s KitchenAid, still going strong though I don't use it much. But if possible to somehow buy it I would definitely advise as it's a great piece of machinery.
As I mentioned I'm looking for "budget friendly". IE much more important for it to be durable and long lasting than initial money wise investment. For me, at least, the term budget friendly means long term operation that doesn't require repairs and expensive maintenance.
