Growing up my mum had a Kenwood. Massive beast of a machine. Fully analogue controls. Sounded terrible, but very loud. Could take your arm off if you weren't careful. Even had a mincer attachment. Not really sure how you would make a non-rotary mixer TBH.
Do you mean a Kenmore? Because a Kenwood would be an audio mixer like this article is talking about :D

#33By the title I expected the article to be about kitchen blenders, as they are called mixers in my mother tongue. Do native speakers have this confusion?
Didn't occur to me for a second that it was anything other than kitchen mixers. Not blenders though. I was interested to see where my KitchenAid fell in the grouping.

#34I've been playing records for a few years and have had the pleasure of playing with a DJR400. Some personal additions to the article I'd like to share: 1. The physical feel of the device is amazing. Every knob feels and looks both smooth and incredibly sturdy. It's like the difference between driving a Mazda and a Porsche. Madza might be more versatile, practical, and cost-effective. But which one of them is more fun…
How do you choose what input is in your headphones?

What a great example of someone so quick to hear themselves talk that they don't even click on the link.

By the way, the article is at fault, as it mentions it was released in 2010. This is false - it was released around 2003/2004 I believe.
In https://www.deejayforum.de/threads/32604-djr-400-rotary-mixe... (a thread from 2006) one forum user mentions the delivery of a DJR400 in 2004.
The article made me doubt it for a little while, but I'm quite sure I ordered mine before 2010 ;)

I also didn't get the article's meaning of 'mixer' until I actually opened it. I was wondering about cement mixers.
