I've had a stand mixer of theirs and love it. But, I put the attachment on before anything goes in the bowl. I then turn the machine on to give it a quick 5 second test run. This is after I lost a paddle in a bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough. The paddle became disconnected. I have learned over the years how to make the attachments connect but, still do my test method. The place that the mixer head-my term for where the mixer links into the attachment. I don't know what it is really called; is like a big pin. The attachments have a circle which then has a small offshoot. The trick is getting everything aligned.

When this one goes out I will get the vita mix. I like that it does soups and that it is not plastic like the ninja. Also you said you have a stand mixer. I would like to have one but do not know if I can put the different attachments on. I tried putting an attachment on the kitchen aid my friend has but I could not figure it out. When I go to visit again I will ask her to show me again and I will take more time, I am sure I can do it. -----Original Message----- From: Cookinginthedark [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Marie Rudys via Cookinginthedark Sent: Wednesday, May 20, 2020 8:08 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Marie Rudys <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [CnD] Ninja versus Vitamix Hello, All!! I just got off the phone with Amazon's Disability Help. Vitamix cost an awful lot--well, being on a fixed income and all, I don't want to go crazy with the money, so I ordered a Ninja blender that is in stock. The lady discribed it and it sounds pretty user-friendly. I also order a new stand mixer, much cheaper than Kitchenaid, again, at a comfortable price I can actually live with. So, I have 2 new things to look forward to. From G E, I am getting a microwave; it cost $140 and I don't mind that it does not talk. I just need one I can live with. Thanks for your information on the Vitamix and other blender. I think I will like the Ninja. I have a blind friend in Arizona who lives hers.
