I'm the winner forold appliances

I completely forgot tthis old wonder until I started to make a bach of cookies. I inherited this heavy clunky POWERFUL thing from mom when she went for newer/lighter. Cuz I'm a guy, I like more power so I grabbed it up when it became an orphan. I own and use a 1948 Dornmeyer "Mixwell" mixer. Nothing slows this down. The stand is gone, the bowls are gone, the meat grinder is gone, but I still have the beaters, and it still grunts through some heavy batter.

1948, does this make me the winner? Oh, my sister gave me a new stand mixer years and years ago, but it'sa still in it's plastic bag. Just not as powerfull as my Dornmeyer.

I mean this affectionately Huck; men and their toys. You with old mixers and my husband just got his old hot wheels out of the attic. We now have a racetrack instead of a pool table.

My mom had an old mixer like that. They made them industrial strength back then. She used it primarily for the meat grinder attachment. When it died, I just got her a meat grinder - she never used the mixer. Your mixer is older than me, too, Huck.

there's nothing liked a good old ringer wash machine to eat up fingers.
