Kenwood Chef

It's 40 years old and still going strong, you can't buy too many products like that. They are a bit noisy but so what. Speed controller is a weak point but they are not hard to fix if it fails, if it happens it will only run at full speed or not at all.

@ohyrag Well I loved that machine when I had it. Got it free at a Salvation Army cherity shop in Gorse Hill Swindon England for free as I was doing volunteer work there. My Ex tossed it out after I came back to the States and it was in perfect working condition. I would've loved to have brought it back..

It looks like a 701A. Made in the early 70s or there abouts.

I made three cakes today with mine...

Cheers,

@mitch19636 Wish I still had it.. My Ex tossed it..

@ukspankedyank Made three cakes this week with my 701A. Will squeeze some oranges with the juicer attachment in the morning.

@mitch19636 Over here the really posh brand mixer is "Kitchen Aid"..

Looks like an A701A model - I have the same. The original bowl was white glass but you can get plastic ones for them as well

@artywah Would've liked to have brought it back to the States.. My Ex tossed it out..

[chris42999]

weren't the charity shop expected to sell it rather than give it to their volunteer staff??

[ukspankedyank]

I was willing to pay for it but it was given to me..

I'm now living back in America.. I'd love to bring that thing back if I visited again. Way too heavy to ship. I miss it big time.. But.. I do have a 1970 yellow Sunbeam Mixmaster

Blimey can't you spell?

[jglaholm2000]

You're lucky to get one of these in such good condition. They were made up until about 1975 when they changed the speed control to electronic and a lot of the casing to plastic! They're strong enough to mix concrete if you anyones crazy enough to do that.

Would've loved to have brought it back to the States with me.. It's still in England.. Will have to stash it back at a later date.
