KENWOOD KM 636 CLASSIC MAJOR

Very noisy. Should come with ear plugs. This my wife's machine and outside of that she is pleased with it.

This is my second - the first lasted 30 odd years of very heavy use including overloading it when making bread. This one is just as sturdy & has lasted 10 years so far and looks & sounds as good a new.

We got the equivalent model for a wedding present 35 years ago and it is still going strong. The only problem we have had with it was the little plastic 'tilt release' knob broke but was easily fixed with epoxy glue. The mixer is still working...

I also bought a similar Kenwood mixer 50 or so years ago. It was used several times a week for 25 years, and is now used seldom. All the attachments still work and the two Christmas cakes I still make are marvellous.

After many many years of hard work our previous model gave up the ghost, its gears went and the clutch failed. the new model is super, so much quieter and the splash guard is invaluable. Miss the solid glass bowl

I bought a similar Kenwood mixer some 45 years ago. Repairs total 1 new gear box (plastic one soon failed and was replaced by a (noisy) metal one. One glass bowl (dropped). Although now used less frequently, it still functions perfectly.
