"Eggbeaters, "[those] twirling symbols of American ingenuity that combine to tell the story of a time in our country when ... every kitchen had at least one eggbeater ... and every small time inventor had at least a shot at the brass ring."

- Mike Leonard, Today, NBC

"It's a pioneer work, a classic that will never go out of date."

- Lita Solis-Cohen, Maine Antique Digest

"...The perfect gift for any eggbeater wackos you may know... Whenever someone idly riffs the pages, they soon sit down and really get into it. A better example of mechanical ingenuity, obsessive attention to minor matters and quaint marketing would be hard to, uh, beat. Proletariantech at it's instructive best!"

- J. Baldwin, Whole Earth Review
