Greetings,

At our house, we seem to go through an electric hand mixer
(like, e.g.,
http://www.shopkitchenaid.com/produc...&T1=KTA+KHM3WH)
every 2-3 years. We don't use the mixer that
often, maybe two or three times per month, and yet there
always comes a time when the blades stop spinning and wisps of
smoke come drifting out of the motor, along with the awful
smell of a motor that shell spin its blades no more.

Having once again smelled the smoke of hand-mixer doom, we are
once again in the market for a new one, and so I thought I'd
post and ask: is there a mixer on the market that won't give
up the ghost after a few years (and if so where can we get
it), or are we doomed to continue contributing to the
ever-growing global waste disposal problem as long as we want
to keep making chocolate chip cookies?

(Yes, we could get it fixed, but I'm pretty certain that
getting it fixed costs more than buying a new mixer.)

(Yes, a real stand mixer would almost certainly solve this
problem, but we wouldn't use one often enough to justify the
expense, and besides, we don't have space for one in our
kitchen.)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can provide.
