Now Eugene, you've given up the best part of the bowl-lift and everyone will want one!  LOL

 

I had a tilt-head bought in 93 or 94, now at mom's.  I have a Hobart bowl-lift K5-SS on my counter now and have gotten used to the lift mechanism.  I have the copper liner for the bowl and have shocked more than a few people with it's egg white magic.  Well worth the $8 at an estate sale.

 

I also have been a bit surprised at the quality of the KA line in recent months.  I saw a bowl-lift model at Costco last week that looked very cheap.  Glad I have the Hobart, even if it does weigh as much as a new refrigerator.

The Shardor hand mixer looks to be very good based on what I saw in this video. It is 300 watts, has 5 regular speeds, 5 turbo speeds and is only about $30.

Adiós, Kitchenaid toy hand mixer.

It was returned and Amazon almost instantly issued a refund.

I was VERY happy to see it go.

My next acquisition will be a Kitchenaid 5-speed hand blender. Unfortunately they don't come in Empire Red, but at least now they have brushed SS.

I had one of those and I loved it. It's very powerful and does what's supposed to do. I gave it to my sister.
