Kitchen Aid Classic - Best kitchen mixer
Review of KitchenAid K45SS Classic by
Arboy1971
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 Kenwood KM310 by
Nar
Advantages: None
Disadvantages: none
Hello and welcome to the review that should have been here. It was here but its not here now as I have taken it and put it into my private stash somewhere else. It may well appear somewhere else online and if it does it will have my name on it. Thank you to everyone, to all the people in my COT over the years who have stuck by me and who have been great influences over the reviews I have written. It is indeed a sad case that reviewers have to come ... ...sense at all when the original content should be listed and frankly because of endless problems with Ciao I no longer have the time and energy to carry on. Each time I tried, it didn't work. Each message I sent to other members, they didn't appear. Each rate I applied, it didn't show. So that's the end of it. Ty for reading. ...

Excellent Kitchen Appliance
Review of Kitchen Aid 5KSM150PSGR GREY by
epiphoneman
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 ... ...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 has the same Kitchen ...

Review of KitchenAid KSM150 BNK Artisan by
marilynmonroelike
Advantages: So easy to use, powerful yet gentle when required.
Disadvantages: The price but you are getting the BEST.
This was a present to myself at xmas and WOW its far better than I ever imagined! Its so powerful yet can be turned to the minimum setting and its gentle as your own finger tips - I have made everything from shortcrust pasty ( amazing!) to heavy duty bread dough - the folding hook ROCKS. The price is painful but this is the rolls royce of mixers and to me it has been worth every penny :) I love it! The style is classic retro and fits perfectly into ... ...on the buttermilk cream which is lovely. The anti spill chute attachment is very handy meaning I can pour in the ingredients without spilling them and when i purchased mine I also got a free mincer so shop around for special offers. To use it really could not be simpler ....you pull the lever on the side and the main body lifts up and locks into the upright position.....the hook slips into the hole - you turn it and you can actually feel it lock ...

King of the Kitchen Machines
Review of Kenwood KM 010 Titanium CHEF by
Rabbitgirl
Advantages: It's a Kenwood!
Disadvantages: Expensive and some might find it heavy
...one would expect from the Kenwood brand this machine is a joy to have in the kitchen. Previously I just had a Kenwood Food Processor (now 12 years old but still working perfectly having been passed on to my brother) but really needed a mixer as well because I love to make cakes.
Now I can churn out cake after cake with ease - much to the enjoyment of my children!
My husband found this on offer in House of Fraser but ordered it from Amazon as the ... ...and efficiently with the famous Kenwood "planetary" action. The first thing I made was a banana & walnut loaf - the mix was perfect in just seconds with this machine where I used to take ages mixing everything by hand. The mix for a victoria sponge cake came out lovely; light and fluffy - and very quick! The liquidiser is big and solid and I've made some lovely smoothies - loved by the children. The food processor works just as well as my old "separate" ...
