We'd like something smaller than our vintage KitchenAid stand mixer that we have at home for use at camp, and of course a MixMaster came to mind. We don't want new, but what's the best balance of quality and performance: vintage/age and newer/not all worn out? We wish Grandma had hung onto her lightly used '40s white-painted model when she sold her home! Are there certain models to look out for? I know that there's folks here that will know!

You may also want to consider a Hamilton Beach, especially the Models H, K, or 25. These are the style that was introduced in the mid 50's and made until the 80's. They were also sold as Sears CounterCraft. I personally prefer HB to Sunbeam, mainly due to the "bowl control" feature. See link. CLICK HERE TO GO TO CircleW's LINK | ||

I'd look for a mid '50s to mid '60s Mixmaster, the stuff from the 70's did not seem as well built. | ||

Thanks Paul & Stephanie!
We have a KA K5-SS for home now, and a MM Model 12 sounds excellent for camp!!
Stephanie: Awesome! Pank is pretty hard to resist!! It's my most favorite color! I'm majorly missing my pink '56 HP range! can you eMail me? it's on the Profile. Paul: I need to get back to the Ogden Museum one of these days anyhow, I need to see the new arrangement and maybe I need one in more than one color, right? Did they come in yellow? LOL. Thanks for the info all, gotta love this place, we've made some great friends here! | ||

The model 5 was replaced by the model 7 in 1941 which was the first model to have the beaters eject then you flip the handle down. Here's a site showing the different models: CLICK HERE TO GO TO kenwashesmonday's LINK | ||
