It also has an immersion blender attachment that has come in handy. But mostly I just really like the mixer. It's held up very well for years, 20+ probably now. I was even able to buy another set of just the beaters when one of the had a small weld come undone which made them twist up and not work correctly.
They no longer make anything like this one. And the reviews for the current models are terrible.
And who designs peelers nowadays? But that belongs in the Rant thread.

I know that one, my mother has one to, the old ones lasted forever, it seems nowadays nothing lasts, that's why I like to buy from brands that have spares.
When looking for the mixer I saw that Kenwood has an attachment to peel potatoes, It looked so cool, I was tempted, but let’s face it I don't think it would be worth the price and probably I would not use it as many times has I should to make it worth, lots off pieces to clean after each use compared to the humble peeler.
