Does anyone know when this Oster Kitchen Center might have been made and whether or not it is any good? Right now I have been using an early 80s Sunbeam Mixmaster.

I'd say early to mid 80s probably. As far as I know, they're good machines. Lots of attachments such as blender, grinder, food processor, etc.
I just saw one with lots of attachments at yard sale last weekend. I've also seen versions that had electronic controls as well from the 80s and 90s. As for your Mixmaster, it's probably just as good as a Kitchen Center. | ||

I had one years ago. It was a great blender. Plenty of power. However as a mixer I didn't like it. Even on the lowest speed for mixing it would sling what ever you were mixing all over the place. It was like setting the Mix Master on medium speed. | ||

I have Almost every one they made, I like them BUT, DO NOT use them to knead bread, the mixer head has plastic gears in it and they WILL strip, the electronic ones do run slower at low speeds so they are a little more versatile | ||

I too will opt for the Mix Master if a Kitchenaid isn't available. Like both of those machines. | ||

My mom's cousins (brother and sister)
each had the Nutone unit. Their only "drawback", they said, was that it was built in.... cannot move it around. But, they're gone and the Nutones are still going. When I renovated my kitchen, I ALMOST got one. (there was a NIB for $50.00) I passed.
I have 2 Sunbeam Mixmasters, a Kitchenaid stand mixer, 2 K Aid hand mixers, and 5 Hoover hand,mixers. I have 1 Oster blender and 7 Hoover blenders. I think I'm set. | ||

The portable cart with the NuTone built into it has been tempting. One can even purchase carts that are ready made for this purpose! I'm kinda considering getting one of them It would also be good storage for the menagerie of attachments. Although personally the built in part is what appeals to me. If I need/want a mixer running elsewhere, I have those plenty to choose from... | ||
