Andrew James Stand Mixer?

mioliere

I have the AJ mixer, halogen oven, and food chopper, and I have been really pleased with each of them. They all get regular use, and I thoroughly recommend them. I also bought an AJ pump action flask but have yet to use it so can't report on that. With the mixer, I did have a problem getting the lid on and off, so I just cover the whole mixer with a tea towel until the flour is mixed in. It's a bit noisy but that's because it has such a powerful motor but, as it's only on for a few minutes at a time, I can put up with it. For value for money, i can't fault any of the AJ gadgets I have.

I bought the Vonshef version, with the attachments, not used the attachments yet, but the mixer seemed to work well, lid is a tracked to the top so fits fine. The reason I went this way was when reading I think it said the AJ one was only 800w which produced 1200w ??? But the Vonshef was 1200w motors. Yes it is noisy, but so was my old Kenwood Chef DG

How does it compare with a Kenwood Major? I'd have thought that would be the logical step up from a Kenwood Chef rather than springing for a different brand.

This product originally seemed to be everything we looked for, and the basic mixer is still fine, but a major component in the ‘Meat Grinder Attachment broke’. As this is what we bought the mixer for we have been very disappointed as, Andrew James (The manufacturer!), despite receiving photo’s descriptions etc., delivered the wrong part 3 times – 1st time to the wrong address. As they are unable to identify their own spare parts I strongly recommend that unless you want a basic unit, you AVOID ANDREW JAMES PRODUCTS. We have spent over a month without a mixer. We are requesting a refund and will purchase a product that can supply spares.

I have the AJ stand mixer and the halogen oven.

Both are great and Ive not had one bit of trouble with then in nearly 2 years.

The only thing I would change is the colour of the mixer as I opted for the cream which is more yellowy than I wanted but apart from that I can find fault with it and it does what it is supposed too.

Hi all,
 
I have one of the multifunctional stand mixer from Andrew James, see photo on left.  The problem I have is the mincer/meat grinder has stopped working, when I attach it to the machine and switch it on, nothing happens - the worm just slips and I can hear a tapping noise as if the drive belt or engaging slot for the worm - I think the drive belt is slipping.
Does anyone know how to sure this or the existence of a repair manual?

Thanks in advance, Regards
Geoff.
