[Electronics-Talk] new blender/food processor unit needed

[evelyn weckerly]

No, Jim, that mixer is wan more dan $120.  i've had one since the 
'80's.  I got it with some added gift money from my mom.  I think 
it was well over disarbjj then.  It was the the largest model at 
the time and is very safe to use.  I had the manual brailled too, 
and my mom also taped it.

I am quite sure that you will not be able to buy the stand mixer 
for $50 but perhaps $120, though have not bought one in quite a 
while.  We have a blender from kitchen-Aid that is quite great.  
It actually is plastic but is one piece for the pitcher, the 
blade and the connection to the motor.  The lid is a flexible 
rubber or plastic that molds really well to the unit and does not 
leak.  I think we paid about $90 2 or so years ago, which is 
higher than is necessary for a blender, but it works really well.

Hi, everyone:

My blender/food processor died today—the shaft that holds the 
blade didn’t seem to spin, so ended up with half-minced ham 
salad with huge chunks of unprocessed stuff--WAH ! Since this 
unit (I think it was a Bullet) crapped out after just a couple 
years, am obviously looking for something more durable.  I’d 
like to focus on metal containers—am trying to avoid the 
loudness and heaviness that come often with glass and don’t 
like the chintziest of some plastics.  I’ve always dreamed of a 
Kitchen Aid, because, at least when I see someone using one on 
TV, it’s fairly quiet, and quality—but then, I’m on a 
budget (hoping to go no higher than $50.00, since I want to 
replace the old one fairly soon), but not averse to saving a few 
pennies for what I really want.  As you can tell from my 
KitchenAid remarks, a stand mixer may not be out of the question, 
depending on weight—would like to store it in a cupboard.  
Also, of course, no touch screen, if possible, or easily marked 
with tactile dots and mastered without much trouble totally 
eyes-free.  I may come up with criteria I’m spacing on 
momentarily as I get your feedback, but so far, this is my list 
off-hand.  thanks!
