I did see the Ronson "Cook-and Stir" machine in a Fisher lab supply catalog.They did mention that "The instrument is ideal for preparing agar solutions"The catalog was dated 1972.
in a 1970's book I have on kitchen remodeling-they show the Ronson and the Nutone in counter machines.The only "in counter" machine sold today is the "conesuer"(sorry about the spelling) blender by Blendtec.They show it on the Blendtec website. the machine is a blender-its similar to their commercial in counter models I have two Blentec machines-they are very nice and one I have-the "Titan" has a blade that is 5 in across.the machine can be used with the base that comes with it or you can remove the motor and soundhood from the base and make a cutout in your countertop and mount it there instead.

built-in

Bosch has a built-in kitchen center too. It's based on the Concept series and there are a lot of attachments for it.

I love the Concepts

Next kitchen re-do I'm having one of them cut into my countertop which will of course be granite..lol. Too bad they can't get a heating element in there like Ronson did and it would be the absolute cats ask. A super mixer, dough maker and cooker all in one. Why even with some imagination they could even make a larger bowl and have an agitator for small countertop wash loads of course. I should be paid for my ideas LOL

I don't think I would ever buy a built in mixer. If they break down it will be hard to find a replacement that fits if they aren't produced anymore.

If you want something with a heating element there is ofcourse the Thermomix. It's bloody expensive. I'm posting here a picture of the latest model. The website shows the previous one.

We have a POS brand called "NuTone." they originally made door-bells (door-chimes ==> UK)

They at one time offered built-in kitchen appliances similar to Bosch.

See also NuTone.com (Broan appears to be the parent co.)

Bosch versus Nu-tone. No contest..worth it for me to get a transformer!

Louis, as per your logic, looks like they dropped the product.
