The Chef uses an orbital movement on the mixing arm to mix food in the rotating bowl.

We have the new one; it hasn’t changed much.

I have a Chef Model No A 901, can it still be repaired? I was using it just now, when there was a small bang, and then smoke was coming out of the back. If it can, can you tell me where? I live in South Buckinghamshire. Also can you tell me how old it is?

I bought my Chef in John Lewis, Oxford Street, London about 1966. It cost, then, about £34. It is stll going strong. The motor seems inexhaustible (if a trifle loud these days). I love to make cakes and scones so it is used probably about 3 times a week, at least. Only things I have ever replaced are the rubber ring thingies which sit inside the liquidiser, and a mat which sits under the bowl.
