For this copper core are awesome, as they bring the copper performance to induction stoves. I prefer Falk over All-Clad though if you can get it. Otherwise Demeyere Atlantis is specifically optimized for Induction and has great pots regardless

A lot of people here recommend KitchenAid mixers, and I've got no doubt that they're great. I also really enjoy my Kenwood one with integrated scale and better attachments slot than the KitchenAid. Comes with a powerful blender as well, maybe an alternative to a VitaMix although I've never tried them side by side

For people in Europe, have a look at Falk for a great copper core alternative. They use 1.9mm copper instead of less than 1mm in All-Clad, so it behaves even better and more like conventional copper cookware

If you're in Europe, I would recommend having a look at a carbon steel pan (e.g. de buyer pro line), and at Falk pots, they're far superior to all-clad in the copper core department. Le creuset for a Dutch oven is great. Some Solingen knives like Wüstof or Güde. Rösle is great for steel utensils. Weck glasses for adaptable storage (hot/cold), plus they're oven safe and can be used with o-rings to serve as jam pots.
