While I have an ancient Kenwood (relabeled Rival) orbital stand mixer,
it rarely gets used. I'd rather have a light, portable, but strong,
electric hand mixer to do some other mixing stuff. Any
recommendations during this Christmas season?

I have a local WW, I can order from Amazon, and I've already warned of
Katom.

I have one, it's white, close to 20 years old. Not sure who makes it but
I can check when I get home.

Seems I'm old enough to recall that brand. Never thought of buying a
semi-modern 'relic', but I can relate. My ex taught me all about
antiques. I've got a few, already.

New stuff is gonna be mostly junk and that old stuff was better made. That's
why it's still around. Thnx fer the tip, Wayne.


I'll even include one! Put a 'smaller than' and a 'larger than'
symbol (shift-, and shift-.) on each end of a long hot-link. That
way, I do not hafta copy/paste 2 lines onto that first line to make it
work as a single link. Works on all browsers on all platforms. Fer
example:

Hmmmm..... Very strange.

Yer agent, Xnews, seems bound and determined to kill my "tip". Note
how yer agent disassembles the one long line I created and renders it
back into 3 separate lines, even WITH the proper symbols on each end
of the link. I've never noticed this, before. I thought it worked
with all user agents (I wrongly used the term "browser"). I thought
all user agents rendered the beg/end symbols, I mentioned, as one
single link.

Oh well, there's still https://tinyurl.com/

I'd buy either an Oster or KitchenAid. Both are good and should last.

Yep. See above.

I have a single key I can hit and it will bring up all complete links
fer me to choose. Again, yer link (even with <> at ends) leaves the
single long link fragmented. IOW, when choosing the link I want to
follow, I can only see the first line of yer 'link . After the seven
(7), I hafta copy/paste the 2nd and 3rd lines to the first one.

Yes, it is curious. I thought my trick worked with 'all' agents on
'all' platforms (I learned this trick while still using my old W98SE
box). I now use Linux and have always assumed it worked across all
operating systems (OS). I know Xnews is a GNKSA 2.0 compliant user
agent. Why it breaks up those lines beats me! It could be worse. I
regularly KF most ppl who use handheld devices, as both Android and
iPhones (and GG) totally screw up Usenet standards/formatting.

Like I keep reiterating, you still have https://tinyurl.com/. It will
leave you with an alternate link that is almost as short as its home
link:

https://tinyurl.com/ycqgtqec

Does the above link take you to that "Dormey" Ebay website? It
should. 8|

Looks like I'll hafta hash this issue out on 'news.software.readers',
a Usenet newsgroup, which is a newsgroup like this one and is also
still fairly active (or usta be). Thnx fer listening, Wayne.

BTW, I'm already 'watching' that item on Ebay and have several more
under surveillance. Again, thanks.

I gave my 5-speed KA to my son, so I could buy a 7-speed. It never gave me any problems.
I love it.

I've got a Sunbeam Mixmaster hand held mixer that's at least 30 years
old. I think the other one is an Oster. I've got a couple of stick
blenders for soups. I don't really use them all that often.
