Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I know this mixer is the Cadillac of mixers. I call it a Cadillac since it's so BIG and 97% of the people love or want one. I got rid of mine. I could not stand it, I did not connect with it. My Mom has gone through about 5 of those things, she wouldn't use anything but that mixer. I love the hand held Kitchen Aid mixer and it has dough hooks. Funny how we all have different tastes.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Last year my granddaughter gave me a Cooks stand up mixer and I love it. I have always used a hand mixer but age has worked its magic on my wrists and I cannot hold one like I used to. I really like the Cooks mixer. I think this is the brand sold at J. C. Penny's and is cheaper than a Kitchen Aid. in Northern Illinois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 When I was looking for a new mixer I was getting frustrated as I was only finding the Kitchen Aid which was just to expensive, I went to Macy's, Bed Bath and Beyond, Linens and Things, and Target. I finally had to go to Walmart to get the Sunbeam. I very rarely if ever go to Walmart.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I had a hand held for years and really wanted a stand up mixer. I don't leave it out on the counter, though. It is heavy and hard to lift, but it always gets put away after use. I can't stand to have something that big on my counters. If fact, nothing sits always on my counter top. When the kitchen is cleaned, the counter tops are bare. Katie BANFUR3 wrote: Last year my granddaughter gave me a Cooks stand up mixer and I love it.
