    Stainless steel? In these times? You would more likely get a brushed aluminium shell, filled with gravel. “Stainless Steel” would be the name of the model. It would break down after 13 months and You would have to buy a new one, while Your grandma would still have her stainless steel block from the 70s.

      Yeah, the base model is garbage, but if you spend a little extra for the Stainless Pro, you won’t regret it!

        But try not to get the Stainless Steel Connect. The App in the App Store is outdated and you can’t connect it to your WIFI anymore.

          But try not to get the Stainless Steel Connect. The App in the App Store is outdated and you can’t connect it to your WIFI anymore to stop the intermittent beep it makes.

      Back in the before times when home phones were still a thing I had this really nice cordless phone. It had this really nice balance and heft to it, felt really quality and I always remember feeling pretty good about it as a thing. Finally one day it died and I think I must have hoped to figure out what went wrong so I popped it open and realize it was like 2% technology, 23% empty space and the rest was just a solid piece of heavy rubber.

      A cube that size of tungsten would absolutely obliterate that countertop… And the back of anyone dumb enough to try to lift it.

        Thats why it would have to be tungsten. The countertop would have to be excessively overbuilt to support the weight. Additionally the workers delivering and installing it would have to use hydraulic powered lifts to put it on the counter.

        Thats how do you conspicuous consumption.

      Mine too, but I absolutely refuse to read any instructions that came with it that might easily explain the problem and provide a solution. Clearly this is a design flaw of the appliance.

      It takes up counter space, I can’t imagine the physics breaking malfunction you’re experiencing if it stopped doing that.

      No the new line is perfectly designed to clash awefully with the old one, so you need to change them all. Because you care about the look of you kitchening room.

        I have the kitchen aid given to my parents as a wedding gift in the 70s. Harvest Gold, but I don’t care that it doesn’t match anything.

        Works great. There’s a later bowl accessory to prevent things from dancing out of the bowl while being mixed but the rest is original.

        The purpose is to take up counter space so instead of shrinking it they’ll make it bigger but more hollow.

      Those are the dimensions of the block, making it accurate. The kitchen in the background is a miniature scale model.

    Ugh everyone is telling me how much I need the brick, they use it every day multiple times, but I just do not have counter space for it.
