With everyone discussing their favourite mixers, I can show mine.

This year I upgraded from my old mixer (18 years old but still going strong) to a new model with more modern features. 18 years ago, paid around $14K for this one (Yamaha LS9-32):

And replaced it a few months back with this one for around $8K (Allen & Heath SQ7):

but had to build my own road case for it.

Im sure if I show this to Mr Denali he would be very impressed!

Enjoy!

For impressive, this is my all-time favourite to operate. Spent many hours sitting behind this beast (Midas XL8). But alas, was way waaaaay outside my budget to own. And now completely obsolete!! This pic from a theatre performance of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" (2015).


And if the show was a little slow/boring, I could watch something interesting on one of the 5 displays - photo from November 2012. Can't remember which team was touring Australia then.

Now that is one very expensive TV for watching the cricket .

Does that quality as a mixer?

Can you guess?

This is my desk at the moment



This is my kitchenaid



This is my car



So I got this one. A bit brighter than I would have preferred and I ummed about white or blue but it had to be yellow

So you went for the blue then?

Not sure I'm a fan of these mixers with lids, how do you add ingredients as you mix and scrape down sides etc?

Does the machine fit KA fittings? The beater blade is what I like to use, it swipes the sides down

The new Aldi mixer has similar blade and this is the one I used yesterday to mix the butter/sugar/eggs, but without the rubber edges. It is a cheap casting. The other 2 blades; one is like a whisk, the other a dough hook.

Mine has traditional beaters, I like being able to see what is happening due to glass bowls and open top.

Doesn't anyone else use a Kenwood mixer these days? Our first one, with a white ceramic bowl, lasted over 40 years until our daughter dropped it on a tiled floor. I replaced it with a new one and it works fine.

My Mum still has her Kenwood its almost 55 years old and works

I love this so much

No PA system here (only mix in the box) but finally setting up some instruments myself after they spent a long time in a box. Wonder how many musos we have on AFF!

Well, my first mixer (analogue, built from scratch in 1985) did have lots of "pots" and "pans".

But these days some would consider my hobby a sound engineer - I prefer to think of myself as a very sound engineer

's ok NW.. my attempted pun linking the legendary SUNBEAM MIXMASTER with all these other newfangled gadgets.. sank like a stone…..

We do. It has a chrome bowl.

I had one that was over 40 years old and loved it. The bit where the beaters went in broke and I rang Kenwood and they wouldn't even look at it. I bought a new one and friend that is a handyman fixed my old one in 30 minutes and it's still going strong. I am still annoyed that I believed Kenwood that there were no parts available to repair it
