Had to pick between a $200 mixer and my grandmother's 1974 one
The antique is a workout but it whips cream in 40 seconds flat, so I kept it and spent the money on a vacuum sealer instead. Turns out the sealer broke after 8 uses, and now I'm eyeing that mixer again. Anyone else regret skipping the reliable upgrade for a gadget with a 1-star review?
I did the same thing with a bread maker and it died on loaf three. My mom's old one from the 80s still works and I ended up dragging it back out of the garage. Should've just kept the thing that already proved itself.
