Rep Power: 1 | One requirement when I buy a house, is a pantry! I have a metro rack in my kitchen that the top is used as a pot rack, and the bottom stores all of my pans, and seldom used appliances. The food processor, hand blender and enamel pot set on the shelf under the hanging pans.
I have burned out every hand mixer that I have owned except for my current Kitchenaid hand mixer, it is pretty sturdy, although I only use it for mashed potatoes, and a few other things.

Rep Power: 2 | I once took apart an old '60s-style GE hand-held mixer to lube it. It was working ok, but when I did that, it stopped working altogether!!
Guess if it ain't broken, don't fix it! | |

Rep Power: 10 | When I bought the new gear for mine I got a can of grease and I was amazed how much is inside the kitchenaid. It looked like something our of ghost busters, it got slimed. | |

Rep Power: 2 | Yeah, looking on the outside of the machines, you wouldn't think that there was that much grease inside of them, but there IS.
Someone took one apart to replace a gear and it DOES actually have that much grease there. Without it, the gears could overheat and possibly melt from excessive heat much like the transmission in your car without the transmission fluid.
This is probably why K'Aid Stand Mixers don't need any lube jobs because so much grease is already in there.
