A powerful 1000W motor that is sure to give you many years of durability, reliability and strength. There are promises of a great performance within a smaller space, all with some great features, but does it perform as well as hoped for? Best of all, it makes great-tasting cakes and bread. Not only does it create smooth, sponge cake mixtures but also an impressive kneading power. In addition, it’s incredibly easy to use and store, making it the ideal mixer for small worktops. Just ensure you have plenty of space to store all of the additional attachments! Reverting the Kitchen Machine to its standard position and replacing the bowl, I attached the shredder and used it on speed 5 to slice leeks and carrots with the coarse side of the slicing disc. The feed chute is wide, so I found it easier to slice two vegetables at once. The slices were consistent and prepping this way was a real time-saver.

There are two ways of looking at this stand mixer. Experienced bakers that want large quantities and faultless processes are probably going to get annoyed with this. The struggles on basic mixtures seem all too common. Cynthia Lawrence is a freelance lifestyle and homes/interiors journalist and writes for various national publications.

When she’s not spending time surfing online for decor inspiration to revamp her 1930s home, she is busy reviewing some pretty awesome home appliances. Switching to the hook, which has a handy guard fitting at the top to keep dough out of the outlet, I added warm milk and sugar, and used speed 1 to combine it before moving up to speed 3 to knead. The dough wrapped itself around the hook but could easily be removed. After five minutes, it was pliable and doubled in size when left to rise. The finished buns were light and fluffy.

The other selling point is that you get an extra accessory. The Kenwood stand mixer comes with the usual three attachments for the bowl – the K-beater, whisk, and dough hook – but there is also a blender. Our unique planetary mixing covers the entire side, centre and bottom of the bowl. No mix is missed or wasted. All you’re left with is perfection.It seems that this smaller Kenwood food mixer could prove to be a stepping stone from being unable to bake to then upgrading to a more effective system.
