Query: They don't make them like they used to...

My mother bought me this mixer for Christmas because she's had a Sunbeam since the 1970's that still works. I have used her mixer growing up and it's a great mixer. This is not my mother's mixer. First off, the thing is made of plastic and not metal. I used it once and it was just as other reviewers have said. It did not mix well at all and I was afraid to turn it up past low since I thought the plastic mixer would go flying off the counter at a high speed. It has gone back to the store and I am going to use the money for a Kitchen Aid or Cuisinart. I figure that if I spend the money on a well made mixer, it will last me a lifetime like my mom's old Sunbeam has for her.
