Help pls with different kenwood chef models

I was thinking of buying one of the new kenwood K mix mixers but it is really expensive as are the attachments and no liquidiser attachment or mill.
I`m afraid of investing money buying attachments for this A701a and then wish I`d bought a new one if it conks out .
There is no place here in Northern ireland that I know off that would do a service cheaply

I recently bought an a701a with pale blue trims that wasn't working properly for
£7! It included a mincer, k beater and whisk but no bowl or dough hook. I
thought it was worth buying to see how much it'd cost to be fixed. Anyhow, turns
out it needs something doing to the gearbox which will cost £45 and I still need
to buy a bowl which I assume I will get on eBay for around £10 so I will have
spent £62. I am concerned that the capacitors and resistor and brushes may need
replacing in the future which will cost more money. But I LOVE the look and
colour of it!!! I was looking around on eBay and got giddy and bought an a901e
which has had the caps and resistors replaced and I have read that these are
better in that they can take new attachments and are semi electronic. So now I
don't know whether to get the a701a repaired as I love the way it looks so much
or sell it unfixed for spares . Any opinions would be greatly welcomed!!!!

Hi
Just bought a A901E for the bargain price of £15.
It just has the balloon whisk attachment but it is still a bargain.

Am trying to find out what the "E" stands for.
Anybody know this?

Hi all,

First time poster here. I realise this quite an old thread, but I am looking at getting a Kenwood A901 but wanted to ask people who have them whether I should hold out for the A901E or P, as they have faster motors (450W vs the 350W in the A901).

Does anyone miss that extra 100 watts?

Thanks in advance!
