Review of Kenwood KM 010 Titanium CHEF

Kenwood Chef, Excelent!

Advantages: Great mixer, goten us to do a lot more baking.
Disadvantages: Addtional attachments a little on the expensive side

I’ve found this product to make an excellent addition to our kitchen, certainty made us do a lot more home baking and be a little bit more adventurous in our cooking. It’s very easy to use and has mixed a variety of breads, cakes, and batters all brilliantly. It arrived with 3 mixing attachments; The “K” beater attachment; great for cakes A whisk attachment, has made good batters and egg whites And a dough hook; which has seen a lot of use and ...
...we have used to make simple soups, and drinks. I have found it very easy to keep clean, particularly the blender attachment which comes apart for easy cleaning, certainly a lot better than our previous blender! Also included was a 160+ page colour recipe book, which had some good basic recipes. Perhaps one minor let down is it dose include some recipes that call for additional attachments which of course cost extra. All of the parts seem well ...

Review of Kenwood KM 336 Classic CHEF

Kitchen Aid Classic - Best kitchen mixer

Advantages: Ease of use, versatility, easy to clean, looks great
Disadvantages: Expensive add-ons

Arguably the biggest name in small kitchen appliances, this mixer represents far better VFM than the Kenwood equivalent. I paid £150 from Amazon when on offer as not only has it a huge reputation as a solidly built, reliable and versatile kitchen machine but when it's going to be stood on your work surface everyday (indeed, it is too heavy to be pulling in and out of cupboards anyway) it needs to be aesthetically pleasing too. This is a thing of ...
...range ( I inherited an old Kenwood mixer some years ago and not only was it ugly but it was in orange too!). Okay, it isn't as powerful as the Artisan but it's also not as expensive and is more than adequate for everyday domestic use. Having been taught how to bake by manual methods and then progressing to a food processor to take the hard work out of creaming and whipping etc I didn't think that it could get much easier but I was wrong. The Kitchen ...

Review of KitchenAid K45SS Classic

Excellent Kitchen Appliance

Advantages: Perfect
Disadvantages: None

My mother has always used Kitchen Aid mixers and when I got married we recieved one as a wedding gift!!! For the Man who loves to cook this means horsepower in the kitchen and not just the garage!!! And for the ladies it is just the cat's meow when it comes to mixing up bread dough or making those chocolate chip cookies the kids love so much. I have used my Kitchen Aid for just about every Kitchen creation imagineable!!! I have never had any trouble ...
...they even offer a warranty with this bullet proof kitchen appliance!! This is a great product and is very easy to use I would recomend it to anyone who likes to cook!!!!Kitchen Aid offers a 10 speed range and 3 attatchments: whisk, beater, and a bread hook. This appliance is not for the faint of heart or anyone who can't lift 20lbs. It is very heavy and in turn very durable, mine has definitely taken some abuse, and as I said before my mother still ...

Review of KitchenAid 5 KSM 150 Psecv

Kenwood Major - Rugged and Reliable, Great for Bread.

Advantages: rugged and powerful, big capacity.
Disadvantages: need to stop mixing and scrap bowl sides to ensure thorough mix.

...years I have used the Kenwood to mix 2 - 3 loaves of bread, which is heavy work. I have not had any problems, in fact, I love using this machine. It is much quieter than then older Kenwoods and more power than you could ever want. The mixer will stay put when mixing a single loaf, but tends to 'walk' around the benchtop when mixing a double loaf., so watch it. The only problem with this type of planetary mixer (kitchenaid is also a planetary mixer) ...
...try and overcome this problem Kenwood have introduced a rubber coated mixing paddle which is designed to scrap the sides of the mixing bowl as it goes. My experience is that this is an improvement but certainly not perfect. The Sunbeam Mixer from Australia is much easier to use in this respect as you can easily scrape the mixing bowl while it mixes. However, for bread, think the Kenwood is a better system. ...
