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" ... Read review

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. ... Read review

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 ...

...I was given my KitchenAid Artisan mixer as a gift from my daughter who lives in the States. We went together and chose it from a fabulous shop called Bed, Bath & Beyond at the Biltmore Fashion Park in Phoenix, Arizona. Obviously, that makes it extra-special to me, but you could buy yours from some of the bigger department and household goods stores. My KitchenAid is matte black and very swish. Because it is an American-bought appliance it came with ...
...presents no problem. The KitchenAid Artisan: The legendary tool of generations of cooks and bakers, the KitchenAid is endlessly versatile, easy to use and clean afterwards. The appliance is very heavy, robust, stable and durable. No shuggling around on the kitchen worktop. The stand mixer I have had the following attachments included and this would seem to be pretty much standard in the UK : 4.5 Qt. Stainless Steel Bowl with handle Flat Beater ... Read review

Advantages: Easy, quick, clean, professional looking cakes, biscuites and bread.
Disadvantages: Heavy, otherwise none.

My history and why I wanted one of these* When I was young and life was fun I had a friend who had a food mixer sitting on her worktop at all times, she used it several times a week and made the most wonderful cakes, breads and pastries with it. Oh I coveted that food mixer as I made the above by hand creaming, whisking, beating and kneading. The trouble was that it was out of my price range and on top of that I didn’t have enough worktop space ...
...years I have bought many kitchen gadgets that are supposed to make things easier and quicker and the more hours I have worked the more gadgets I have bought. Without the space to keep these things out what happens is I use them, clean them and put them in the cupboard, and there they stay…and stay…and stay! So what changed? A new kitchen! I have this wondrous thing, all shiny and new. The mess it made in the making had to be seen to be believed. ... Read review
