deafeningly Loud / over heating

although we've had "Montells' Mixer" for most of two years, it's only been used about a dozen times. The motor has started to seize up on some collard greens. Time to buy some hand turn colanders, grinders, veg. cooking supplies, etc.. "Montels Mixer" is a waste of $. adam and muriel bennett, and yes we're both into cooking.
