Odd mixer --looking for clues...

[mattl]

I was watching Rizzoli and Isles last night and saw an odd looking mixer in the kitchen of a murder victim.  It was very reminiscent of a KA but was maybe 25-30% wider with no power take off port on the front, and a little flatter.  It was yellow-ish with a stainless bowl.  Also there was some trim detail that made a little upturn sweep vaguely reminded me of a smile.

 

I dumped the recording so I can't give any more details than that, but does it sound familiar to anyone?

Hmmm... Might have been a Kenwood, but that is purely a guess on my part.

I wonder if it's a Sears Kenmore made by KA ???????????

Hamilton Beach

Hamilton Beach is your likely suspect.

They are rerunning R&I at 8 PM tonight on TNT, the mixer shows up at the :07 mark, along with a bunch of vintage kitchen appliances.

Since Directv blocks screen caps with their Directv to PC software that lets you stream content from your HR2x series to your computer I had to resort to a poor quality picture with my phone. I think it's good enough to identify the mystery mixer, I've never seen one of these before what ever it is...

 

[mattl]

either they have a talented set decorator or they used the kitchen in a well maintained older home, any one identify the Refrigerator and stove?

Mixer is Hamilton Beach,

Stove is an O'Keefe and Merrit (sp?). I have no clue as to the refrigerator, except that it is not a Frigidaire.

Could the fridge be a Hotpoint?

It's a Hamilton Beach Eclectics mixer

interesting, had no idea it was a current model.  Most of the stuff in the kitchen was old, thought it was too.  Thanks!

 

 

BTW- who makes it?  Isn't Hamilton-Beach long defunct?

It all depends which country you're in....

That mixer has been sold here with Kenwood and Breville branding.

I believe that is exactly what it is Bob...PAT COFFEY

Matt I think it was also sold as a GE mixer as well.. and there are two versions.. the all plastic body version sells as WalMart pretty cheap and there's an all metal version as well. I bought one a few years ago for dough making but its performance was sub par,, it was the plastic one though.. maybe the metal one is better.

thanks Pat. I figured that as so close to the Hotpoint emblem from back then, if it wasn't it was a close facsimile molded into the door.
