Opp Shops have reopened here as of June 1. Hooray!
I went in to a Salvo Store (Salvation army Opp Shop) yesterday and found this - a Heritage branded small mixer that looks 1970s or early 80s to me. $8.
I don't remember the brand - does anyone here remember it in Australia? I have a very vague notion that it might have been a store brand of Myers?
I was looking for a cheap hand held mixer to use for mixing tile grout - I am doing some new floor tiling and some re-grouting with Mapei Ultracolor, the instructions say it must be thoroughly mixed with a mechanical mixer to get even colour and a couple of youtubers confirm that it is very important with this grout.
So this little Heritage mixer is about to have a hard job for a few weeks, then if it survives, a quiet retirement. I have better mixers to use for food - my Grandmother's Kenwood Chef from the 1970s and a little hand-held Braun which is only a couple of years old and has been fabulous. (I haven't used the Kenwood since I got it...)
So who made Heritage mixers? Who sold them?
