BakerAunt, I'm so sorry about the death of your mixer! Good luck finding a suitable replacement. I just got a new hand (aka portable) mixer last week. My old GE was about 40 years old and had reached the point I could adjust the speed by wiggling the cord. I'm trying out new mixers, have tried a Cuisinart and a Hamilton Beach so far, and do not care for either one. They are huge (don't fit in the cabinet space allotted to a hand mixer) and heavy, twice as heavy as my old GE. I haven't had a stand mixer for about 40 years, and really don't want one - IF I can find a small, lightweight portable one that does what I need it to do.
