Here it is...Who made it for Hoover???or did they make it themselves.

 

[kenkart]

Its kind of..

A cross between several brands, the beaters have ejector collars like a Sunbeam J,it is shaped kind of like a Hamilton Beach, it has oil holes, and is 65 watts, the wall hanger looks like what was sold with Sunbeams or Hamilton Beaches..???

I'll find out for you.

Tom will surely know. i think we even discussed this before. Give me a few days.

I think it was made by Oster.  I could be wrong... but for some reason that's what comes to mind.

Looks very similar to a hamilton beach I once had

Hoover needs to revive it.

That is a gorgeous mixer - I want it!!

It's a shame Hoover doesn't make it anymore.

We had Hoover hand mixers here in the UK too

Late 1960s - clearly manufactured by Philips, it even says Made In Holland on it. The Philips version had a closed handle - these often appear in clips of Fanny Craddock demonstrating

And 1970s

The red button is the beater release - I have no idea who made this for Hoover, it also came with an optional mixer stand

Didn't know Phillips made them.

That second Hoover mixer has a look of Morphy Richards about it. Funny I say this, as only this week I saw a TV show about Delia Smith, and in a good deal of the archive footage she was using MR mixers. However, there was a period of product branding which took place around 1970, whereby Morphy Richards made hairdryers for Krups, and likewise Krups made food mixers for Morphy Richards. The design of a Krups mixer is very like that of a Morphy Richards as my photographs from the internet will show. They are not great but are all I can find. The first is a Krups, the 2nd a Morphy Richards.

Of course, Krups are German, so I would be interested to know which country your Hoover was made in. I know they produced goods in Germany and Ireland, so should it be either you could assume it is quite possibly a Krups mixer. Then again, it may well simply say Great Britain if it's from Ireland.

It seems

...that Krups did not alter the design much at all, keeping the bulky triangular shaped front right up until the present day.

This Krups looks identical to the Morphy Richards model my mother owned.

The Easimix is a model close to my heart as my mother had one of these, indeed I still have it, and she loved it, even more than the Kenwood Chef that she got several years later.

There were two versions (although very similar) - the first with the full grill on the front, which had the familiar MR "iron" logo on the front, rather like the model shown in reply 13 and the later one, from about 1970 onwards with the smaller grill as shown in reply 14 - it was this one my mother had.

I have examples of all of these with the stand and even the slicer/shredder too - branded as MR. AND I have a Krups one as well which, if memory serves, has a power outlet on the back, the MR did not have this. The later ones were marked as being made in the Republic of Ireland, I am not sure about the earlier ones.

This style of machine was also sold in Holland, not under the Krups name.

When I have time I will post some pictures of these machines
