Guest guest Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 I love kitchen aid products. They will take a beating. I got a new mixer a few months ago, and it was worth every penny of the $370 I paid for it. It will turn a quart of cream into a couple of pounds of butter in nothing flat. (And yes, on occasion, I do make my own butter.) My next two purchases will be a new KA food processor, and a new KA blender. They are pricey, but they will outlive me. My DH is of the opinion (bless his heart) that if he is going to buy tools, he's going to buy the best there is, so he won't be replacing them down the road. He considers my appliances my tools, and never bats an eye at what I spend on those items. Heck, a couple of weeks ago, I was looking to buy a belt sander on sale for $49 to work on refinishing my hardwood floors...He turned thumbs down on that...and spent $200 on one that I can barely pick up...but it will last forever. <BG> Jac ''Always saddle your own horse.''-- Connie Reeves, at age 100, upon induction to the Cowgirl Hall of Fame " Head up, heels down.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 Hamilton Beach __________________________________________ OMG, some of the member's that have been around awhile will remember when my Hamilton Beach blender tried to murder me, was not a pretty picture.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 We often buy the cheapo model FIRST. With some tools, only the best. With others, the 19.95 special at " Tools for Cheap " down the street. Some (more than one) of those tools we though we needed are still in the box. Whew. The ones we used often have been replaced now with REAL tools. But at least we didn't blow the cash on tools that ended up being impulse buys. And, unfortunately, our appliance graveyard is not so lucky. Some of those are pricey little tools to not use. Sigh. Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 I remember the attempt on your life. I don't use a real blender. Only hand blenders. That way, if they get loose, they can't do TOOOO much damage. Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.
