Does anyone have one of these an are they any good?

Got a KM for xmas and would love to rumble round carrots etc, but it seems they have taken the product off the market
and I am having difficulty getting one.

Any advice out there much appreciated - also does anyone have the ice cream amker attachment and what do they think of it?

Thanks  Julie

I'm afraid I don't know if they're any good, not lucky enough to have a KW chef (yet )

Hello You Lasses Be carefull buying used Kenwood bits.There are major differences twixt A700 range and A900 range The potato rumbler fits both but any tool that fits in the front PTO port (Mincer sausage stuffer Slow speed slicer etc 700 the anti rotation pin is at the bottom of the PTO housing and the A900 is at the top A920/ 931/ 932/ 936/ 979 all fit A900 Chef's I once minced every bit of usable meat off a 30 score pig but the hams this is some 300 plus lbs of sausage and the tharmes take a long time to clean
They are a very good tool and so versatile I have most of the tools but not the pasta bits They are like fish I HATE FISH.If you cannot find a RUMBLER Let me know and I will sort you a useable one out they don't wear out as such but go very dirty and grubby looking They are very efficient They wont peel swedes or turnip family but potato carrot parsnips are a dodle.Don't bother with a cream maker it takes ages and its easy to buy these days.Tell you what if you can find one there is a high speed juice extractor makes grand carrot juice or most other fruit juices although I use a Jack la lane  juicer these days.P/s The latest AT950 mincer stuffer works a treat

A couple of bits The Splashguard and the stainless mixing bowl are useful bits The splashguard is a very useful bit itsaves throwing flour all over the kitchen ah ah The S/steel mixing bowl ace for pastry making

[Snoopy]

Yes - I got the new Major with the 6.5 litre stainless steel bowl, and also received the splashguard, all metal mixing and dough hook tools, a k beater, a liquidiser
and the vegetable processor and pepper/coffee grinder.

It was on special offer at Amazon - got it all for less that 400 euro, would cost about 995.00 sterling to buy all what I received so it was a great bargain and
a lovely xmas peresent as I have wanted one for 16 years.

Just want a potato rumbler for peeling small carrots and potatoes that I grow myself, as by the time you have peeled them there half gone

[Wizard]

It's worth buying a new one by the sound of it to me.They are a brilliant tool saves a lot of the veggie to you end up with a load of sludge because it takes so little off.Mind you if you leave it going and answer the phone and natter and natter you can end up with marbles I wouldn't like to be without mine.I have in the cupboard a really old one its made of aluminium

My Kenwood came from the tip, was dumping rubbish and spotted the bowl and then being naturally nosey found the rest of it, was a bit grubby but works fine. Have found all the attachments for it on ebay quite cheaply. Apparently it is one of the first ones made, now resides happily in the back of a kitchen cupboard, OH says its too heavy to get out all the time. So may shortly be putting it on here as it will be looking for a new home

Goes back a long time this post but I was looking up Potato Rumblers on Google and up came this thread.
I am looking for a rumbler because the smaller more delicate salad potatoes get savaged when peeled by hand. I can remember ones "Mether"    having a rumbler in the 1970s that fascinated me as a kid, plugging it into a tap and letting rip ! I think that I have grown up a little bit since then , mainly because I am on a water metre.


So who is using a domestic Potato Rumbler? Any comments or recommendations ? Got other veg' as well to peel.

[HappyHippy]

Can't help with your question Odin, sorry ! We just go for veg scrapper and scrubbing brush 

But thanks for flagging this thread up again, it's great to read back over George's posts
