Reply to comment by freckledcas in was handed down my late uncle's 80s stand mixer, still works like a dream by Wavestormed
There are a surprising number of channels on YouTube that make quality, in-depth tutorials on most models. Give your particular model a quick Google.
Just keep in mind that you should order supplies (lube and any necessary tools prior to opening the machine up).
Also, once you open it - keep in mind it may stay open for a few weeks if you end up needing to order replacement gears / other parts.

How should I go about doing this without fucking up the mixer?

Miele, Bosch or Siemens. They have a decent customer service and can recommend specific models (I talked to the Siemens representative who seemed to be very knowledgable)

Older KitchenAid and Sunbeam were bulletproof. I have a 50's KitchenAid mixer I bought for $20 and it's awesome.

If you're handy at all you may consider opening that baby up to clean out the old gummed up gear lube / replace with some fresh lube.
Even if the machine isn't begging for it right now, it's totally worth the work if it hasn't been done in decades.
(Also you can typically order replacement hardware as needed - even for these older models)

I've got a few that are my #1 favorite.

Have had ours about 35 years, only part I’ve ever replaced was a small gear on the pasta maker. If there were a Hall of Fame for BIFL products, I’d definitely nominate KitchenAid

Ya I have the cordless, wasn't sure what you had.

There are only buttons. Most dysons don't have triggers.

It can also be a bad trigger, ours was pulsing and I bought a $12 trigger replacement and it fixed it right up.

You could get a Galaxy Xcover phone. Even the latest models have a headphone jack, replaceable battery and SD card support, unlike my Galaxy S21 FE. The drawback is that they are a bit thicker and don't have the best specs. But that's still more than enough for general use.

That's awesome. My Seiko Alpinist is my favourite but my Orient mako 2 is my second.

All I can say is don’t get a Mac. I grew up using em and they really only lay for a few years until they get slow as heck and really shitty. My bf has a Dell laptop that’s over 8 years old and it STILL runs faster with a longer battery life than my 4 year old MacBook Pro.

No doubt. I have a 1956 GE Liberator stove that I use daily. Nothing wrong with it other than the clock doesn't work. May not be the most efficient but hot dog, that thing works all the time and every time. Oven is dialed in precisely and even the Sensi-temp burner still works (yes, they had these back in the 50's). 👍😎👍

Heck I'm still using my Kenmore canister vac with bags from the early 2000's. Recently tore the head apart and thoroughly cleaned it out... My GF swears by Hoover and I find it comical because she's on her third one and I've only known her for about 10 years.

It might be important to note that they probably won't work with an induction stove, just fyi.

Reply to Could someone recommend an air purifier that doesn't need the filters thrown out and changed? I am willing to clean them of course! I have BAD allergies and 3 cats so it needs to work well in medium size areas. by Relaxandbreath
I have had several Honeywell HEPA purifiers and my oldest has run 24/7 for 6 or 7 years. I think they are pretty sturdy.
