Tragedy has struck the Raven household. My faithful beaters will beat no more. Over 20 years of faithful service, rest well my friends you will be missed.
All licked out. RIP.

RIP Beats By Raven. You will be missed.
We had a set of Kmart ones last 3 years, then the replacements lasted 9 months
Ours died last year. I wouldn't have it. I took them apart, cracked out the soldering iron and repaired them. I broke the slow/fast switch and the blitz button in the process, but they work again.
Good thing, as they have mixing bowl attachment and it'd be so wasteful to throw the whole thing away over an internal switch wearing out.
I think mine might have a broken/worn gear. The motor still works and they sort of still turn but slowly and with little power.
