Kelly,
I'm headed off to bed and you just made my day.
O, my paws and whiskers, you are a joy and a delight.
I'f I were there, I'd get up on a step-stool and hug you.

The Humvee of the Kitchen
Kitchenaid stands in a league of it's own. A single wisk turning in one direction travels around the bowl in the opposite direction. The copper Pro620, proprietary to Williams Sonoma has an 11 wire whisk with thin stainless loops. It can whip a single egg white in the 6 quart bowl.

Please, please
I want the one closest to the stove! I have a bread dough that is heavy and slow to mix, but the bread is delicious.
The one by the stove would be just the thing!

Does it fit?
Nothing covers a bowl and creams as well and as quickly as bowl fit beaters. The conical beater with a nylon drive button cleans the edge of the bowl, maintaining even bowl rotation speed while the squarer beater cleans the bottom of the bowl. Exclusive to Sunbeam the patented Bowl-Fit beaters were introduced on the Model 10 in 1950.

I'm stuck on you.
Hamilton Beach used a conjoined beater assembly that was held in place with a thumb screw. Worked well, the mixer a little on the wimpier side and one kiss of a spoon not only wreaked the beaters but the drive socket as well.

Punch line to a famous old joke about hillbilly newlyweds sums up how I feel about any mixer I need to hold. Somewhat more acceptable with a governor controlled motor, using a hnad mixer is only a step away from mixing by hand.

Questions of effectiveness aside,
a shaft is nice, because it gives a person more to lick.

You can never practice too much if you want to have a healthy tongue. My beloved Lawrence, is it time to have your horns trimmed? You have been so saucy lately and it's a bit out of character. I must say it becomes you.

Nah,
I brought him over to the dark side.
Is that a KA 4C? It's putting a rise in my Levi's...

Yup it is nice and nice to see that you use them too.. I don't use all mine really because I don't do a lot of cake baking etc...
I generally use a sunbeam mixmaster, the euro one right now.. for cake batter or a regular one for taters.. but I always use my Bosch Universal for bread I love that machine

Sunbeam Heritage
Kelly, have you ever tried the more recent Sunbeam Heritage models?

All Mixed Up
The N-50 or in the case, model G is an amazing machine to have been in continuous service since the 30's and never a repair or blemish. I don't care for the narrow profile 5 quart bowls of the K-5 and the more institutional G or N 50 is a touch more limiting because of three geared speeds which require turning off the machine before changing speeds a the wider motor makes the addition of ingredients into the bowl more difficult. I was never a fan of Kitchenaid until they introduced the Pro series with a wider bowl which mixes more evenly. That said, the motor on the Pro 600 can literally make your ears bleed. I never use it for whipping and never turn it on if I have company. I've had the 4C since my college days and it does a wonderful job of whipping but has limited bowl capacity. I like the Heritage that does not have the motor driven bowl. It's quiet and powerful and does a very good job. I'm not fond of it's esthetic but I cannot fault it's function. The more expensive model with the motor driven bowl turns the bowl too fast and the motors are not reliable. I have at least twice as many mixers than pictured but their out on loan.

I have the Dormeyer you posted above. I know little about it, other than my grandfather bought it for my grandmother new in 1963. I haven't used it in a long LONG time.

It's interesting...
....but given that Sunbeam Australia designed and engineered the heritage range, we don't get the single motor design here, only the twin motor with all its' faults.
Nor to we get the hand held version....

4C Bowls
I thought the 4C's only used glass bowls, but I see the one there that appears to be using a metal bowl with the lip around the edge, like the one I described in another thread. So can you use either glass or metal with a 4C?
Both bowls were gone when I went back for them. Damn.

Lips or no Lips?
The 4C was orginally marketed with a 4 quart glass bowl which also works perfectly with a Classic, Ultra or Artisan. There is a factory replacement 4 quart bowl made specifically for the 4C and available at shopkitchenaid.com for $59.00. The all purpose beater is out of stock. The 4B is the rarest of the bunch and has a galvanized bowl that threads onto a screw. It has a whip, paddle and dough hook but none of the later bowls or beaters are interchangable. The new 90th anniversary model Artisan has a glass bowl with a handle and pouring lip that weighs a ton. That bowl will become open stock after the anniversary year ends on August of 2010.

Thanks Sandy. It's a moot point currently since a sharp shopper grabbed both of the bowls at Salvation Army, but good information to know for future jaunts to the thrift stores.
I like that 4C with the metallic finish. Very handsome, and would be right at home in the most modern of kitchens, which speaks volumes for KA's timeless designs over the years.

The picture above of the little girl pouring in the red liquid into the mixer bowl is the granddaughter of our former member Mixfinder (Kelly) who passed away 09/12/2013. When I had no mixer at all, Kelly gifted me this very same mixer to me in 2010 or 2011. This is a KitchenAid 4C mixer. I cherish this mixer and hope to find someone who can repair what appears to be the motor speed regulator.
Yesterday, Ted wanted to take a drive up to the nearby town of McGregor. We stopped in a little shop we've looked in several times. While meandering around, I saw a display of embroidered kitchen towels. And then I spied IT. One with an broidered scene of baking immplements including a silhouette of a KitchenAid 3C or 4C mixer. I had to have it to honor Kelly. When I purchased the item, I informed the clerk I had the mnixer depicted in scene, it's a KitchenAid 4C mixer. I told her it was a an item gifted to me by a friend who had succcumed to cancer. She was most impressed I could tell her it was indeed a real mixer and told me she was going to informm the local artist who had embroidered the towel.

I think of Kelly often. He enjoyed sharing his collection with many of us.. He gifted me a one slot KA toaster when I could not find a replacement that would fit my space, still using to this day.
I have a link saved to his Thanksgiving posts and I refer to them every Thanksgiving for inspiration. I never met Kelly in person, but feel like I knew him through his posts. He was such a nice guy, and always had great information to share.
