Best handheld mixer??

[NigellaPleaseComeDineWithMe]

After going through what is our 3rd mixer anyone van recommend -had the Dualit one, a cheapo white kenwood, then a more expensive Chrome Kenwood (250w) - all had the gears go on them just after warranty expired! Is the new Kmix hand held from Kenwood any good - it costs about £45 so seems to be sturdily built. We do use them quite a bit and need a robust one!

We have a braun one - we have had just 2 in 15 years.

I have a Dualit one and bake for a cakeshop and it has lasted for ages, my kenwood one lasted 3 months - I think I over worked it! The other one I have is a kitchen aid one which has lasted ages too. How much do you want to spend? Kitchen Aid one is about £35?

Would spend anything up to about £50 as long as it will work and last!!
