I bought my original Kenwood in 1993, I think. Only reason I passed it
on to one of the kids is because I got the (then branded) Electrolux,
which was much larger. Once the kids fledged, I needed a smaller mixer
again and there were no UK made Kenwoods around, so I settled for the
pro HamBeach I got as at least I saved those packed away attachments
that the kids never wanted.

I did try a top of the line KA...I tolerated it for about 2 months,
then gave it to one of the other kids.
