I have one to, and it still looks and works great! I bought mine in 1987 in a department store, my parents used it primarily for milkshakes. I used it for many other things like making pancake batter to banana/strawberry smoothies even made pudding! Yes, that little blade can liquefy! This mixer is a re-issue of the original H-B Drink-master model #51introduced in 1956. It is referred to as the Model #51 on Ebay. I have two originals, one is white with a white plastic mixing cup-
That is one great looking milkshake...the perfect thickness, with just several small icecream bits left over...I originally thought the power might be lacking somewhat with this unit...but it did a great job...
man, i just bought one today at the goodwill for 5$ and always wanted one. its the same as the one on you vid. im glad its old cuz im into nostalgia. cant wait to try your recipe. cheers bud!
@italobambino43 Thanks :) I use Novus Plastic Polish. It comes in #1, #2, and #3 as a kit. #3 does deep scraches, #2 fine scratches and renews plastics, and #1 polishes plastics (like wax) and keeps them that way.
The other one has a brushed stainless steel finish and a glass Pyrex mixing cup, the latter being more collectible, they offered it in two different finishes. they only had one speed at 60 watts. They work really great to.
cool i have one made around 2001 2speed. low does not work. mine is a chinease made hamilton beach pos. i have replaced it with a 1923 gilchrist 22 which works like new and is very powerfull
I have one of those(a 727-2 though) but ours is doesn't work as well as it did new. I can't make thick shakes with it. It almost stopped completely when i tried to plunge the wand in the ice cream, and it was on high
yeah, i have the same exact one, bought mine in 1986 from a department store here in Philly. what was the plastic Polish that you mentioned? my mixer is vertually mint. has sat in my parents kitchen on top of our clothes dryer. used on occasion over the years, they did make good shakes. nice demo!
So my grandmother gave me her drink master and I cleaned it up. Mine is 727-1 how do I find the difference? Is it watts? The year? Idk what the year is
i have the same model, found at a Thrift shop and it works perfectly, except I'm not able to take off spindle, I have pulled gently from all angles and it doesn't come off but also I'm not sure what amount of pressure it needs to pull it out. Can you comment on that? Thanks.
Actually, it is 85 watts, just as he said it was. The newer models sold today are 70 watts (model 730-C); but these older units (mine is a model 727-2) from the 80's were 85 watts. Info plate right on the bottom if the mixer.
You put way too much milk in your shake. Use about 3 ounces at most, and put your ice cream on top of the milk. If you plan to make a shake in a variety of flavors (strawberry, malted, etc.) I recommend you put the syrup in first also.
Ever notice that stuff made in the good old days of the US works for 50 years and keeps on working but stuff made now in china work for 4 minutes then breaks yup the good old days of fine craftsmanship
I have a porcelain enamel metal, jade green, Arnold #17 (Racine, WI) mixer that was made in the late 1920s or early 30s. It's in very good condition and runs like a champ!
The Walgreens-Double Rich Malted Milk works extremely well with these drink mixers. They recommend the can be frosted. www.walgreens.com/topic/history/hist4.jsp
Our lovely, throw away, Made In China society. They design it to break so you have to keep buying new ones. Filling up the land fills faster than ever, so how is that going green, you know? :p

Thank you for the demonstration. I have one just like yours and I now realize that I need to add a lot of milk. Will try making another shake tonight.

Was thinking of getting a more retro version of this one off ebay.. That's for showing how it's done..

Just bought this model at a thrift store. Looks brand new. Now to buy the ice cream.

Just picked one up from the local thrift store for $5.00. Made in the USA and it looks like new. Now I'm off to get some ice cream!
I have one of those(a 727-2 though) but ours is doesn't work as well as it did new. I can't make thick shakes with it. It almost stopped completely when i tried to plunge the wand in the ice cream, and it was on high

My aunt has one and it needs to be repaired. Any advice as to where to get this repaired?
So my grandmother gave me her drink master and I cleaned it up. Mine is 727-1 how do I find the difference? Is it watts? The year? Idk what the year is
is the body of the unit itself metal or is it a plastic shell?
Very nice! It's shame that modern day appliance don't even last a year. My mom has GE hand mixer from the 70s since new and still works great.

MINE YOU HAVE TO TILT THE HEAD AND PULL FIRMLY! I WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT THE ONES THAT ARE OLD WITH THE BIG SPINDLES NOT SURE!
