Need replacement for Kenwood chefette

I bought a small new Kenwood liquidiser a few years ago - I use my old Chef for anything like cakes or pastry.

I don’t use the liquidiser very much but it’s invaluable for e.g making breadcrumbs and lump-free pancake batter - needed every time the Gdcs come to stay.

For anything like smooth soup I use a stick blender in the pan.

Just had a quick look on eBay and there are several 'vintage' ones.

It's worth looking for the model you already have on sites like eBay. I have a Kenwood Chef bought 2nd hand and much prefer it to any more modern ones. They were stronger too; look at your 50 years of using the Chefette! Cheaper and better for the environment too buying 2nd hand and you can use any of the attachments you already have.

I use a tall slim SQ blender I bought from Amazon it was less than twenty pounds it’s brilliant for making soup smoothies etc. I use it for liquidising fruit for sorbet. I have never stopped using it comes with a spare screw top slim bottle you can put in the fridge for use later.

I echo the thoughts of Maizie. I never use my liquidiser just my stick blender and they cost very little.

What do you use the liquidiser for?
If it's mainly for pureeing foods with liquid, or similar would a stick blender do the job?

I've had a food processor with a liquidiser for over 30 years and I don't think I've ever used the liquidiser. OTOH, my stick blender is frequently in use...

Sorry, just realised this would be better under another thread , maybe, ‘Ask A Gran’ or ‘Food’.

No advice from me, sorry, but just bumping this.
