    Blakeslee Stand Mixer

    I have a Viking that was made by Kenwood-7 Qt-and has a 10A motor!That thing is a roto tiller in a bowel!More powerful than any of the KA mixers I have.You can also use a blender attachment that goes on the top over the motor.Don't use the blender since the VM blenders are better.

    Whatever Happened?

    I use a "dishwand" to clean dishes.The sponge is used for wiping the counter-don't have a large counter area.The sponges I have are a plastic foam material-elastic as well.Dirt and food bits can be rinsed off.Don't use cellulose sponges which do get smelly and icky.
