Perhaps it's jes the card reader. I know earlier card readers didn't
allow one to write to the card and now most do. Mine CR takes SDHC
cards, which are up to 32G, but I've only tried a 4G card. You
computer can't be much older than mine, an ancient P4 box w/ USB 1.1.

A lotta nonsense.

Probably not at Walmart, Costco, and of that ilk but most pro type
camera shops carry a broad stock of lens adapter rings/bushings...
even for fitting camera bodies to telescopes/microscopes.... most in
the $15 to $25 range. If your local camera shop doesn't have what
you need they can order from catalogs. I've very recently purchased
adapters for my spotting scope. There are many web sites that sell
lens adapters, here's one out of of hundreds:

It's silly to think one needs to buy same brand cameras and lenses...
often even same brand needs an adaptor because of model changes over
the years.

I am giving my son my Kenwood - a solid rock of a mixer that I have
had for almost 20 years. Still works perfectly. It is a mom's sincere
cooking gift to her kid. He gets the grain mill, the blender and a few
other accoutrements acquired over the past 2 decades. They all work,
too.

I am a bread baker and I do not use the Kenwood for doughs, generally,
as I usually make 9-10 lbs of whole grain bread...too much for a 5qt
mixer, even one of the strength of an old Kenwood. I use my Electrolux
for breads.

I still need an "everyday" mixer for cookies and cakes. I am biting my
tongue, crossing my fingers and getting a 6qt KA.

That may be so, but there are a lot of good mixers out there these
days and if one is heavily invested in KA attachments, one might be
guided only to look at them

Again, My decision to go with KA this time is because I do not need a
real workhorse. This will be my "puff" mixer. Were I looking for
something to do serious bread making, I'd be looking more broadly.


Have a bunch myself, thanks.

It is a rare day that it doesn't get used for something.

The DLX is quite large and has an 8 qt metal bowl. The smaller bowl
you see is bendable plastic and so far as I am concerned, only usable
with the whisk to make meringue. It is terrific for that.

AND the DLX does not take kindly to small amounts in the big bowl.

Ice in winter... first time you use it it'll ruin $6 worth of meat.

Hmm, never occured to you why it was being sold at a garage sale...
you paid $5.75 too much! Lol

I can't believe people buy those silly Toys R Us gizmos, I wouldn't
take one for free.

I think KA shot themselves in the foot by making a 350watt machine
that would be sold to the masses. And they were just plain
stupid when they replaced the metal gearbox in the 6quart 'Pro' models
with a plastic one.

They've corrected the gearbox in the 6qt-- I'd check to see if they've
gotten around to doing the same with the 5qt lift bowl before I spent
any money on one.

There is a *world* of difference between the power and longevity of a
575watt motor and a 350watt.


Just for giggles, put the beater in and toss a dime into the bottom of
the bowl. I think they said to test this way in the manual- but
it might have been on the old KA site's forum. Are they adjusting
them right, now?



That looks like a pretty serious piece of equipment. Now I know
what that curious looking plastic cylinder was in the background of
one of your Kaiser roll flicks.

I know it is just the card reader and as such, is easily remedied, but
next month we get the magic checks from AmEx and Costco for the annual
cash refund...just sayin' because the computer is 4 years old.

I used to be hot into replacing my computers all the time. I had to
have the latest and greatest. I still probably do it more than most,
but with a laptop, netbook and desktop, and a fondness for refurbs,
and contentment for just one new toy of the bunch being upgraded
every year or two, the habit is really not a problem to accommodate.

I mean, really, I didn't NEED a new mixer, either, but someone has to
get this economy going and make sure the Chinese factories are
humming.

The advantage to the Kenwoods is the number of attachments, or used to
be. There used to be over 23 attachements for the 3 diff speed pwr
takeoffs. Even a kibbe maker, whatever the heck that is. Not sure
what's available, anymore. I know more makers have entered the
orbital stand mixer field, including Viking, Hamilton Beach, and
Cuisinart. Kenwood is now owned by DeLonghi, which I've never been
impressed by. I don't know who is making the Metropolis-Robot looking
Wolfgang Puck mixer. I'll keep my Kenwood.

No one needs any machine to beat an egg, not unless you have arms like

A $350.00 stand mixer sitting on your counter taking up the acreage of
a McMansion... 99.9% of the time doing stuff can't be done just as
well if not better with a $19.98 Sunbeam hand mixer that stores in the
corner of a kitchen drawer, most times all one needs is a whisk or
even a fork and a small cereal bowl. The ONLY reason anyone needs a
KA stand mixer and it's ilk displayed on their counter is for one
reason and for one reason only, in an attempt to impress guests to
think they can cook. Other than kneading a relatively small batch of
dough a KA stand mixer can't do anything better than a garage sale
hand mixer... and anyone not handicapped can knead that amount of
dough and knead it better by hand... no machine can knead dough better
than the human hand. And no one needs a stand mixer to bake a box
cake once a year, Jim. I bet you had one of those track spot lights
installed so it's shining on your KA. LOL-LOL

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. . . .

It also helps if you *slightly* freeze those 1-1/2" cubes - maybe 20
minutes on a cookie sheet in the freezer. That makes a big difference.

nb,

I had a Kenwood stereo receiver. Top notch.

Where it was made? I dunno!

Built to last, I dunno! It got stolen along with my JBLs. I still
believe the neighboring apartment dwellers chipped in to arrange the
theft! :D They probably wouldn't have give a Kenwood mixer a second
glance!

Best,

And not a 5 qt Hobart, that's too small to invest so much money... the
N-50 is still only 5 qts and any normal person can easily knead more
dough by hand. Were I into serious bread baking today I'd go for the
20 qt Hobart... used they don't cost nearly so much as new. Years ago
I bought a 12 qt Hobart at a liquidation sale, even that could have
been larger... with stiff doughs it can only knead about 1/3 bowl
capacity.
