Pro’s - Beats well as long as the butter is not firm - Makes bread dough nice and smooth in a relatively short time - Easy to use. Tools click in easily and it’s a simple dial for speed - Ability to add other tools like a food processor meaning one product does it all, saving space. - Suction cup feet means it doesn’t move when in operation. Simple but highly effective. Cons - Doesn’t beat well if the butter is firm. Not ideal when recipes call for chilled butter - Everything sticks to the utensils meaning you spend ages scraping mixes off of them and it reduces its ability to mix everything thoroughly. - The bowl splash cover is useless as it has a gapping hole at the back plus a like of closable lid on the bit for adding ingredients. This means at speeds higher than 3 results in ingredients firing out of the bowl - The head mechanism is a dirt trap and difficult to clean when you’ve hit max and fired cake mix into the hinge area, made worse by the gap in the bowl cover being at the head hinge end. - Metal bowl marks easily and doesn’t clean well in the dishwasher when having made dough. - Don’t think it will last like my mums Kenwood mixer bought in the 80’s and still going strong. This one feels cheap and the head already bounces up and down when mixing on only its 4th mixing job

It’s brilliant. My old machine used to just push ingredients to the side. This one mixes really well and easy to use

If the lid was much more stable it would have been 4 stars but I have to hold it down while mixing because the mechanism lifts up and down quite a bit, which considering its a kenwood product,a name you expect to be good, is very disappointing.

It's a great value mixer love the larger bowl. It was to replace my old one and have already made 3 birthday cakes as well as cupcakes. It quite a quiet machine powerful motor, it's easy to clean. Only thing I don't like is the splash guard does not prevent flour or icing sugar from spilling at the back of the bowl but that's no buggy. Overall I would recommend this mixer

Did everything i wanted to make, quality finish to my baking

Brilliant product. Last one lasted 15 years before the motor gave up and I needed to buy a replacement! Amazing product.
