Mixer (here we go again)
 

I know this topic was discussed recently but at the time my
Kitchenaid was going strong. It died last night in the process
of whipping cream. It lasted over 10 years. I need a new one.

Any recommendations?

Based on you saying your kitchen aid only lasted 10 years, I'd say
don't replace it with another kitchen aid.

I had a problem with mine. One of the beaters wouldn't stay in after
a few years, the motor was fine though. I didn't replace it with
another kitchen aid hand mixer.

Depending on how often you used it in that time, it may have either served
you well or not well at all. Our hand mixer is used maybe once a month
while the stand is used a couple of times a week.

We have a KA and it still works well and I'd probably buy another with no
hesitation. Most hand mixers are made in China, including a Dualit I saw
last week. Get the one that feels comfortable in your hand.

That would depends on how often and how hard it was used. Once a day? Once
a month? Once a year?

With modern mixers it is usually a gear in the mechanism that goes out
or the motor burns out due to heavy use. Is hubby a handy man? I've
repaired mixers, etc. for herself many times. Now that I'm the house
husband I repair them for me.

Color me tight with the dough.

I wonder if that's true for hand mixers too. Oh, well. It's gone
now.

Nope, a standing. A little metal piece stripped in the gear chain.
Daughter and SIL said it can be fixed, but it was a refurbished one
to start with, so it's probably a lot older than 10 yrs. old, but I've
had it around 10.

When I had a Kitchenaid mixer fail about 10 years ago, with what appears to
be the same problem you describe, the repair was about $35.

Sometimes an individual part in a chain is designed to fail when
overloaded to protect the rest of the machine from failing more
extensively and more expensively. Think of it as a mechanical fuse.

The only Kenwood in America is a Japanese outfit that sells car
stereos and two-way radios.

I wonder if she was talking about Kenmore.

There was a time when Kenwood, Limited mixers were available in the US
under that brand. There are a couple of US-market 120v UL-listed
Kenwoods up on ebay right now (and it looks like they may go for
reasonable prices if anybody is interested).

They were also sold as deLonghi briefly after deLonghi bought out
Kenwood. And one model was sold by Sears as the Kenmore Elite Kitchen
Machine--the current Kenmore Elite mixer seems to be a different product
though.

Hamilton Beach Commercial sells a model CPM-700 that appears to be a
pre-DeLonghi Kenwood Major with the addition of big red stop and
recessed green start buttons of the sort that make OSHA happy. Note
that it's about 14 inches tall and tips up--it may not fit under kitchen
cabinets. I dunno the deal--whether they're made under license by
Hamilton Beach or what.

There are several other models that are based on the now-expired Kenwood
patents--I believe that Viking and Cuisinart are among them. Note also
that "real" Kenwoods were made in China long before the deLonghi
takeover--according to one source deLonghi bought Kenwood mainly to get
the Chinese factory.

So one way or another some variant on a Kenwood mixer can be had in the US.

No, there is a very tough appliance live made in or for the UK. It's
available here, but it costs the earth. 2-4 times what KA costs.

AIUI, the Viking was made at first in the old Kenwood factory in the UK.
I have a Kenwood already but if I were in the market for a new mixer of that
type, I would go for the Viking. I certainly wouldn't buy a KA, unless I
found a 30year old one in a garage sale.

Thanks. My daughter found the part online for ~$25.
