Well Santa happen to bring one of them KA mixers a few years back. I had written him requesting a slightly less than commericial model sausage grinder called a Del-Rey (sic) from
http://www.alliedkenco.com which cost about 800 bucks. Well whut do you know..the warden bumped into a slick talking salesman at Service Merchandise who managed to convince her that if she bought the KA Mixer and all the various attachements which accompanies the gizmo all would be well. I could do copious amounts of sausage whilst she used the same critter for meringue pies about twice a year on the holidays. Yeppers..you got it right. The thing is a total peece o sheet. I done gave away all the attachements of which none of them worked as intended...especially the part which allegedly makes sausage and we still got the monstrosity which I have to drag down from the top shelf of the cupboard and get a hernia so she can make pie about once a year. I would like to bump into the huckster who invented that thing. He got to rank right up with PT Barnum.
