I have the 10oz one for my coffee. I have to put two ice cubes in it because it keeps the heat so well. Lol

No kidding I went deer hunting the other day and forgot my cup I couldn’t drink my dam hot cocoa till 10am, I made it at 4am. It was in a yeti rambler, I don’t need more efficient.

I just picked one of these up on Craigslist yesterday. I saw the price and thought it was too good to be true but worth inquiring. Surprisingly not a scam. Sixty bucks, and it included the bowl and all 3 original attachments. I took off the trim pieces and gave it a thorough cleaning. Almost like new. Still can't believe my luck.

as long as we can all agree on the superiority of the lift. 🤣

Anker. Battery bank of choice for super-users like gps phone game enthusiasts. I particularly like the dual port models, then you can charge two devices or give someone else a charge too.

We burned through a couple new models in a few years. Definitely not an improvement. Ponied up for an antique model and it’s been grinding through dough for a decade without complaint.

It’s an opinion, but not one supported by my experiences. We use the crap out of them. Burned through a couple new ones before we went on Craigslist about 10 years ago and tracked down an antique model.

Are used to drink my coffee for my Zoji on my way home from work 10hours after pouring. I’d have to leave the lid open so it would cool down.

Definitely avoid anything built this century. They use plastic gears that strip out if too much torque is required (kneading dough, etc) compared to the metal gears used in the original model.

I second this. They make an outstanding product.

I’ve never gone wrong with Anker battery packs.

Bruh, the day before he did the test he left the lids off both to get their internal temp the same as the ambient temp. During the test both lids were on.

Not sure about that, kind of doubt it. Blackbody radiation is when something gives off energy as photons due to its heat. Things have to get worse pretty hot for us to be able to see it (think a glowing fire poker or the ember of a cigarette), but that radiation is still being emitted even if it's below our ability to perceive it.

I did see that, and on that weekend you can tour the foundry

Is that falling with the lid open or closed? If you look at the picture mine has taken some hard falls, many from over 5 feet. But the lid was closed every time.

I have this same one! I think I need to re-lube it though.

Full disclosure - I have a tilt head and make three loaves of bread a week (and the occasional cake, but bread dough is where the wear and tear is) . I think it's completely adequate for the home baker.

It's not a direct comparison though - the motion of the mixer means it places lateral tension and 'wiggle' on the hinge, but it barely exerts any force downward. So objectively, a lift type is going to offer fewer opportunities for wear and fatigue. But it's a repairable part, and even if I have to replace a hinge twice in my lifetime (pessimistic) that's worth the saved effort of a taller, heavier, mixer.

If you run a professional bakery though obviously all that goes out the window.

Zojirushi bottles are amazing. I have 5 for me and my kid. They have one weakness: drop them on their lid and they are toast. At least the lids are interchangeable.

Isn’t black body radiation how they made ice in the desert thousands of years ago? Insane how it’s now being used for an insulated cup! That’s wild!

It's actually Avevo Americana
I remember them from the 80's.
I think they folded some time back.

They aren't as good as they used to be. I got through about three a year commercially. I will say you aren't supposed to use them commercially but still. Three a year.

That was tested with the lids on both. I think the Yetis lid is where it loses so much heat because it is a single layer piece.

I'm no expert on kitchen appliances, and I expect they cheap out on everything as much as possible - but such a hinge could easily be made strong enough to outlast the motor or a gearbox. It's probably just made poorly.

I think linear sliding ways are harder to "control" how long they work - for hinges, there's a lot of standards to design them exactly as you want them to be.... Most applications for linear ways are more long lasting/permanent in general
