Hey Guys
I was lucky enough to find another stupidly cheap hardly used Chef from a boot fair - model KM300 from the last range to be assembled in Havant. Stolen for a tenner (I had the coffee grinder already tho).
Don't quite understand that link above about Kenwood entering the Canadian appliance market,, they've been selling mixers and later on other products since the late 1950's.
I have this machine and the coffee grinder, among MANY other attachements! My ONLY gripe is that the K beater and dough hook are shedding their non stick coating. I am going to get replacements like the ones my mother had.
The beater blades with my Viking Kenwood mixer are stainless steel!!!No worries there-and you can put them in the dishwasher!no problem.The uncoated aluminum beater blades have to be washed by hand.
