For a few yrs I had a used one I really liked but it wore out; I don't remember brand. I'd had a KitchenAid for abt 5 yrs but the beaters always fell out. I've been watching 2 KA and a Cusinart for price on Amazon, and Herberger's has KA (so can inspect, get on sale, return easily if needed). I've seen different opinions here about liking the KA ones. I probably got mine in the early-'90s so maybe quality has improved. Any other brand to look at? I would rather pay a little more for one I like and can trust. Want a higher power one (for dough, not whipping cream etc). Thanks again.

Hi Emeralds, i also need a new hand mixer and i bought a lot of different kinds over the years, from Proctor silex to Betty crocker, and i find none of them seem to last, everything is massed produced and made cheap so i also would like to get a good one too.

A buzzer had asked this same question recently; I think KAs were being talked highly of. Also, a piece of advice I was given before getting my KA stand mixer was to not get ones at cheaper chains, that the machines might have the same brand and model # but are more cheaply made. The info was from a reputable source, so I don't doubt it's at least sometimes true. Too bad it's hard to be able to trust most co anymore.

Bernadene, what you said is like when I needed a new iron a few yrs ago. I'd had a good Rowenta whose steam function (only the spray) hadn't worked very long. So I decided to go cheap, got the Classic (black and silver, nice look) Black & Decker. Works great.
