This thread is like a promotion for gas street lights long after electric lights already took over.
You can either keep pretending or face reality. This stuff is a dinosaur.
Funny. This is nearly identical to the surfer channel system we talked about since 2003 on this site. It worked back when the market was favorable to it. Now, its a dead horse for the most part. Only works on past charts.
What do you expect from a guy who uses an electric utility drill as a food mixer? That he can think straight? Try to picture that, whisking cream with a 20 lbs Makita.:eek: Just f***n hilarious.
"And I don't mean just Breville, but KitchenAid, Cuisinart, Hamilton Beach, and all the rest. Plastic gears. Plastic housings. In blenders. Even in mixers. And if it weren't for Amazon reviews, you'd never know. And for a hundred dollars. A HUNDRED DOLLARS! Amazon reviews have become the Consumer Reports of the new millennium. No wonder they're so popular. And manufacturers would be wise to pay attention.
For those who are tired of being taken advantage of by companies that have zero respect for their customers,
consider what I do. Buy a paint mixing attachment for your electric drill. You can get a good metal one for ten bucks. Attach it and go to town. Metal gears, tons of power, near-infinite speeds, and it will never bog down or break. Granted it sounds a little Tool Time, but it works (where do you suppose they got the idea for immersion blenders in the first place), and if you have a drill that's battery-operated, you don't have to futz around with a cord.
With all this Chinese out-sourcing, companies have become incredibly lazy and profit-greedy. When will they go back to making quality products like they did fifty years ago (a KitchenAid mixer I bought in 1970 broke down just last year; a Sunbeam mixer that belonged to my mother in the fifties is still going strong).
