- Recently found this dumped, and after a cleanup, and new beater, and new rubber feet, this Kenwood Chef mixer is alive and well. Surprisingly many parts are available new for this veteran, but not for a newer mixer !

My mother's Kenwood chef was indestructible. Just bought one second hand.
Just got one given to me by a family member. It was brought over from the UK to Canada. Just received the dough hook I ordered from Amazon. Works beautifully. Why would someone discard such a treasure!
I’ve been saying that it makes a lot of noise. Can you confirm it for me?
I inherited one of these exact same mixer from my mother,still going strong after nearly 50 years ,lovely machine
It is very noisy?
@@marifer4975 No,I dismantled it and cleaned it and repacked it with new grease,now it runs well
I was worried about you because you have not upload any video until now. My Mum had a Kenwood Food Mixer and it lasted for years and years.
I would like to wish you and your wife a very happy new year .
Joy watching your video River . Keep up the good work.
When I was little, just the sight of those used to terrify me - cos I figured on maximum setting they’d be ten times as loud as my mum’s electric hand whisk.
My aunt had her blue a701a Major right up to her death in 2017 - outlasted pretty much every radio, toaster etc that ever passed through that kitchen.
Those things gave me the willies when I was a little un. They looked like they had eyes and I dreaded what they’d sound like on 10…
My mum just gave me her A701a. I am so tjuffed. It still has all the bits and bobs that came with it from mincer to food processor, juucer etc. A new one is so expensive and this one is still going perfectly. She has been baking with it all my life. Love that it's vintage.
It makes a lot of noise?
I found a good A701A on ebay a year ago and use it every week. 2024. Noisy but i love it unbustable!
I had forgotten about those giant 3 pin round plugs that fit into the back of old kettles. The best thing about old kettles was when you forgot you had put it on and you walked into a sauna when you remembered :-D
My mum still has an old Kenwood mixer, I remember it from when I was a kid. I don't think she uses it much now, but I do remember it sounding more like a cement mixer than a food processor!
😂😂😂
Expensive as they were and still are best any chef/baker can get very powerful
I've got one. Theyre built like tanks, these things.
Happy New Year River.
Nice find there, as you say a real product Thanks.
Just got one today from an op shop for $25. So happy I have the hook, whisk and K attachment 🤩
I just rescued one today, sitting there by the side of the road looking like a lost kitten... cleaned it, did some basic electrical testing and she runs like a top. I've told the missus i just want to tidy it up and rehome it, but i think we all know how that story ends...
We still have a working Kenwood A701A which is far superior to the modern versions, both in build quality and performance. It had a bit of a service a few years ago, but could do with a full strip down and refurbish to make the gearbox more quiet, as it does grind a bit and deafen you. Now this mixer can turn out some magnificent Christmas cake mixes!
Gearbox will always be noisy. All steel gears. Strip gearbox. Clean inside. Old grease out. New grease, seal and it's good to go.
What a great find. Time to now bake a cake!
Oh absolutely. My mrs has already made me promise not to put it on fleabay...
I was thinking about you today actually, i'd thought about having a trip down to Hastings from Norfolk. Thought about paying you a visit. Andrew.
I shall watch this shortly after i have watched this series on tv... glad to see you back to tinkering when the body allows :D
Rip River.
Marry new year :-)
I think Jame May rebuilt one of these a while ago on one of the BBC channels. Very interesting.
Better sound than a Crossley :D
Watching in 2021. I bought an A701A two weeks ago for £45 on ebay. It works Very Well. I am going to service the gearbox. and send the rest to somebody to service the motor.
Hi 👋🏻
I have a same model like this, but the speed is broken. As in i turn on to speed 1, it runs like Maximum speed. May you advice me how to fix it? Thanks 😊
I just got one today and I buy it at surplus shop same
my mum has one of those (a slightly different colour but it still going strong after over 50 years although it's not used very much
We still use it...
it works great!
(same israeli plug as today)
our bowl is still white as snow. it is ceramic, No idea why yours is yellow.
i’ve got one of these, do you think it will be worth anything
Chavda. Never heard that one before. Hilarious.
I try to be sensible nowadays, despite the status quo.
Great video River. Nice to see a well built product being rescued from landfill. This mixer highlights how older things are so much better made than the new modern junk that falls apart quickly. Does it have the liquidiser (blender) attachment?
Mind you this was the absolute top of the range when it came out all those years ago. I suppose the difference is back then if you payed for quality it would last but nowadays people want everything at the lowest possible price so manufacturers need not bother with quality.
Quite right David, but alas, what you see is how we found it, no blender or coffee grinder. I'd think this'll be around a good while longer now. Ridiculous the devices people bin, my DeWalt bandsaw came off the bins in a rich part of town. Needed a good clean and a bandsaw blade, adjusting, and away it went, still have it now, years later.
Cheers river !! By the way i dont even buy a chicken from tescos cos you never know it might contain horse meat lol 😷👍
Well, I went there recently and spoke to the in store butcher. He told me it was very quiet in his department - he might as well have been flogging a dead horse. Then, in the automatic checkout, it lit a red light and said "Unexpected item in bagging area" - a horse box...
Horse meat is 30 hands down better than any other meat. * source: Horse & Their Human Monthly *
Imagine throwing that away. You'll never buy a new machine that's more robust. I'm using one that's over 50 years old.
Bad grammar ,is not 7 with the letter 'O'' is suppose to be 'zero'' , why would you say with the letter O'' ?
Y'know what, I think everyone who posts a video on here should be made to watch it without sound first so they can see for themselves just how bad their film is.
