I think I paid $25 or $30 for it. I used to have a more expensive one that only blended and didn’t come apart so it was harder to wash.

A modern 14v-18v is strong enough for almost anything (except drilling through steel or mixing mortar, for which I pull out a 60s electric one I inherited). My first battery drill/driver was an inexpensive 12v under $75 and that wasn't tough enough for my bigger projects -- it started to smoke under the strain of driving lags -- but might be for yours. You will LOVE not needing to deal with cords. Just don't leave the battery on the charger, as that kills them. The battery is the most expensive part of a drill/driver purchase.adkmilkmaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07284210196658542288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-84428557917734784222022-08-01T13:45:40.940-04:002022-08-01T13:45:40.940-04:00I just ordered an air fryer.

Very awkward because there is not enough room to sift as I add, which I like to do. Truly, I prefer my 30+-year-old Sunbeam but I don't have counter space for both. As a result, I seldom do any mixing.Judihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06777683026890358953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-35613923942192906992022-08-01T12:29:36.484-04:002022-08-01T12:29:36.484-04:00I actually do have one on a shelf in the library w...I actually do have one on a shelf in the library with some other mystery author-ish items.
