Ken Wood  began trading as Woodlau Industries Ltd in 1947. His aim was to produce luxury items that would quickly be seen as necessities. He began marketing a toaster and a food mixer with two beaters. The original mixer marketed as "The Kenwood Electric Food Mixer", designed in 1947 was very similar to the Sunbeam Mixmaster Model 3, an American mixer made between 1936 - 1939 and faced serious competition and possibly objection. He completely redesigned the mixer which was then launched at the Ideal Home Exhibition in London in March 1950.

This mixer was longer just a mixer, as he had added several other functions and so he called it the Kenwood Electric Chef.

Since it was first introduced the basic Kenwood Chef design has changed little, with most changes being cosmetic. The A700 was the first model superseded by the A700D with minor cosmetic differences and internal updates.

In 1960 the Kenwood Chef was redesigned by Kenneth Grange. During the 1960's the familiarity shaped A701 series was introduced in white and grey trim. Other standard and special versions of the A701 had different colours.
