There are a range of stand mixers, predominantly Kitchenaid and Kenwood. If you're going to make bread or pizza dough and cakes, the Kenwood Kmix is more than suitable for your needs. The Kmix has been reviewed numerous times online by cooks and chefs as well as the Which review site and it appears on the surface that the Kmix is more than sufficient and comparable to the Kitchenaid. The price is what made the choice easiest. With this unit you will easily save over a hundred pounds and get the same outcome. I've made bread doughs and cakes and have had no problems whatsoever in it's performance. I look forward to several years of excellent performance and can't wait for the summer when the pizza oven can start churning out pizzas from the dough made by this machine.

Went for a smaller version than my old kenwood chef due to which reviews. Generally a great small mixer for most purposes. The bowl gets a bit stuck to get off when having used it for dough. Glass bowl a bit heavy and scared not to drol it! Otherwise a fabulous machine.

The product so far has done exactly what has been asked of it. The only criticism I have is the plastic surround on the bottom of the glass bowl cracked after two uses.

What a big change going from a hand mixer to this, it's quiet and works like a dream. Only negative about the machine is if there is to little product inside it struggles to mix it apart from that I love it. I haven't had chance to use the bread hook, that's next on my list.

Very sleek retro style mixer. Solid build, lovely tools. Clear bowl allows you to see what's mixing! The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that it has on a couple of occasions when turning up to full speed, made a weird grinding sound in the motor, not quite sure what that was, bit worrying. Apart from that, mixes my ciabatta dough effortlessly! Thanks Kenwood, you always deliver the goods. Recommended!

Absolutely love it, was on my dream list for years, thanks to AO fantastic offer finally my dream come true. Absolutely fantastic for every baking treat you wish to make from bread to meringue

Best price for the product I could find. Easy to order. Quick and good choice of delivery dates/times

Great device with plenty of power in a UK made mixer
