Foodmixer

My 1970s Kenwood (£15 from a newspaper ad 30 years ago) is still going strong but my daughter has killed two; one she bought for £10 from her local charity shop and then my mother’s which I gave her when mum died. She didn’t tell me for ages as she thought I’d be upset! I mean it didn’t owe anyone anything. I think if/when mine dies I’ll replace it with either a second hand Kenwood or something similar. I can’t justify spending so much on a new machine.

When my Kenwood Chef died my husband bought me a Kenwood chef titanium. It has every gadget you could possibly need ( which I never use apart from the food processor which make incredible pastry) I would strongly recommend it .

You could buy many gluten free loaves from the shops for the price of a new food mixer - worth considering maybe?

Or ask for one on Freecycle.org
That's where my mother's one went.

Breadmakers make delicious gluten free bread and if you don't need a big mixer I'd suggest trying a food processor.
I have no idea what they cost as I inherited mine from my Mum but I found it an acceptable replacement for my Kenwood when it died. (Except for the Xmas cake).

If you don't mind second hand, you could advertise for one on your local Sell n Seek.

My geriatric Kenwood, secondhand from a car boot sale many years ago, eventually died and I let my husband attempt to mend it. It worked afterwards but ...it only had one speed, It was either off or superfast, throw everything out of the bowl mode. I did give in and buy a new one. This was a out 15 years ago and I am glad I bought it. It lives on my kitchen worktop and gets used regularly.

I have, however, got a Panasonic breadmaker which I use for making bread. Five minutes to put everything in and I'm sure mine has gluten free programmes. You can check online for different models.

Have you thought of getting it fixed? Mine (wedding present in 1974!) went on the blink some years ago - we found a co. who repaired and serviced it for around £75, inc. carriage. IIRC it was in Fareham - not saying the co. is def. still there, but my old Kenwood is still going strong!
