Found a kitchen toy in the "discount" section of Sam's Club for $16.
This probably means a new version is coming out, or has come out. My
almost 20 yr old Braun is starting to squeal, intermittently, so I had
to have it.

I think that might come in handy next month when we paint the house! Up
until now, I really hated mixing paint!

You can also get a paint stirrer that goes into your drill.

That looks like a really nice stick blender. Congrats, and a
great price, too.

Ha, it actually does remind me of that paint mixer drill attachment.

The attachment for a drill to mix paint is just another fairly
worthless gadget and a waste of your money. "Order in the next 15
minutes and get a second one free."

I've found them useful for mixing up leftover paint, but
more I've used a large one to mix up those 5 gallon pails
of house stain. They work better for me than the wood stick.

FWIW - there is no way in Hell that I would use Becca's new hand mixer
to mix paint... it was joke.... and apparently not a good one since
people thought I was serious.

When I paint, we get the stuff mixed where we buy it. I don't stockpile
paint so there isn't any around here old enough to separate that would
require mixing.

Eggzactly... I just had my corrugated steel barn roof coated with
aluminized goop... no way can those big buckets of thick goop be mixed
by hand with a stick.

I have one. It's very nice. I like the fact that I can pop the stick
off of the motor to wash it well.

Yeah, I've had one for a couple of years. Don't use it more than a
couple of times a month but now couldn't imagine getting by without it.
To wash it I stick the stick in the dishwater ... run it for a few
seconds and then pop it off the motor.

If I had a dishwasher I'd wash it in there, but I'm the dishwasher in my
home.

What two things a month do you use it for? I've been toying with buying one - but it WON'T be Cuisinart. I'm the one here who bought the lousy waffle iron they make.

Not just two things, but about twice a month. Most often pureeing
veggies for cream of whatever soups and making gravies. I whip up lots
of eggs with it. I like the way you can work a lot of air into eggs.

If I'm not careful I can also toss a lot of food around the kitchen with
it. (I was reminded of that when somebody suggested using it to mix
paint. :-)

Because I had to cook low-carb for DH, I used mine a lot for making
gravies from pot roasts or European-style brisket. I'd skim the pan
jiuces that contained, onions, carrots and celery, they remove any bay
leaves. Stick in the blender and it pureed the veggies into a
starch-free gravy. I might have cheated with a little Kitchen Bouquet
for color. I was surprised at the complements I got on the gravy.

Mine, too, but it's a Cuisinart.

I love my 2 Cuisinart FPs. I also bought their toaster oven 6 years ago
and it's still wonderful.

I have always gotten really good factory support from Cuisinart, so I
remain loyal.

How did you end up with two?

I was not happy about the big split, but when the housing broke on my
old "Cuisinart" that was really a Robot Coupe - I bought what was not
outrageously priced and went with Cuisinart brand. Never had a
problem with it and that one is so old the plastic is yellow now. We
have their toaster too (the "Classic" 2 slice toaster with the rounded
corners). No problems with that either and it has to be older than
yours.

Factory support?

I needed factory support when I was first married. Bought a Braun
mixer because I couldn't bring myself to pay for a Kitchen Aid. I
wanted to make bread and it was highly rated for that purpose. I
burned the motor out twice in a matter of weeks and had it repaired
each time. The third time I burned it out, the Braun factory rep came
to my door and gave me a new machine. I was so traumatized by the
experience that I put it on a shelf and didn't use a stand mixer again
for any reason. Years later, I taught myself how to make bread in the
FP and never looked back. My FP does a great job at kneading dough!

Same here, Dave, I can not imagine living without a stick blender. BTW,
I've had a dishwasher all my life, but I have been living without one
for 2 years, now. We will be refurbishing the kitchen, soon, and we
decided that we do not need a dishwasher. My youngest son thinks I am
crazy, he can not live without one, and he lives alone.
