  • Starting as a hobby and now his full time business, Mike Stratton is one of only two people in the country restoring and maintaining vintage Kenwood mixers. And his services are regularly called upon by TV programmes, as well as private customers. So our reporter Richard Stringer went to meet him.

    I've only discovered this video and am very pleased to recommend Mike. I live in Northern Ireland and posted my 40 year old Chef to him for restoration. He kept me advised at all times during the process, and the Chef was returned as new. Needless to say, it works perfectly! Thank you Mike!

    The KenWood mixer is part of the family. And if cared for will last a lifetime and never need replacing.

    I caught the bug myself. Already bought two in the space of about a month, and already finding them quite pleasant to work with. Spare parts are available, replacement parts are sometimes necessary too. There's just plenty of charm in the older mixers, especially the A700.

    I have my Nan's mixer, it's the light blue and white one. I use it a couple of times a week. She got it as a wedding present! I have all the attachments too. Like the blender and mincer etc (I haven't used those bits yet though!). I swear these mix a cake mix so much better than any modern mixer! I have a newer Kenwood which sits in the back of the cupboard, because this is my go to mixer!!
