Message-ID: <5575@tekecs.UUCP> Date: Mon, 5-Aug-85 15:08:35 EDT Article-I.D.: tekecs.5575 Posted: Mon Aug 5 15:08:35 1985 Date-Received: Mon, 12-Aug-85 00:14:35 EDT Distribution: net Organization: Tektronix, Wilsonville OR Lines: 26 Well after years of swearing, I finally did it... I sold my Mixmaster (motherless, under-powered trash, mainstay of an earlier generation). I have been planning on buying a Kicthen-Aid mixer (by Hobart). I know they are pretty much the standard for bakeries/restaurants. What I would like to know is: 1) I presume power is no problem (including bread kneeding). 2) They make two "regular sized" models, which one should I get? (I saw a floor model that stood 6 feet tall in a bakery recently). 3) Do they have a tendency to throw food (as did the Mixmaster). 4) I remember reading on the net a while back about Hobart being bought by a larger company and rumors of "there goes the neighborhood". Any truth to the rumor. 5) Anyone care to make a testimonial (pro/con)? Well, I will be mixing by hand for a while anyway... barry steel
