Hi kaathyaini,
I have been using hamilton beach (10 speed) for over a year and i haven't had any problem with it so far.I think i got it for under $20...Maybe urs was a different model.This one has been trouble-free for me.Hope this helps.

Hello everybody !

Hi Foodlover,
Soak the flour sifter in hot water for thirty minutes and then using old tooth brush, brush the clogged holes .
All the clogs will get removed in jiffy.

Dear Kaathyaini,
I have an Oster blender 12 speed, which I bought from Walmart. It does a very good job in making idly/dosa batter. It has a food processor attachment also, which you can use for making vada etc. In Indian stores you can get a small blender ( around 5 dollars)which can be used with oster motor which works well for making small quantity chutneys etc. So with 40 dollars you will get a 3 in 1 mixie.
