I have a KA from the 70's and a newer KA from 3 or 4 years ago that I got by
saving rewards points until I had enough to get it free, the thing is, the
newer pale yellow one is in the garage, and I am back to the older one since
the newer one has had many problems. It's a shame really that the newer
appliances are not built to last as well as the older ones.
