This is the first Stand Food Mixer I've bought as I could never really see them as being any better than a hand- held mixer.Definitely changed my mind after using the Andrew James Mixer.It is far too attractive to hide away in the cupboard, although since I couldn't resist buying the bright red one I think I will have to repaint the kitchen with one red wall to match it!!
The noise level is nowhere near as loud as I expected after reading other reviews,in fact my ice cream maker is louder than the mixer! Everything is simple to assemble and to wash so no problems there either.I really did want the KitchenAid but after using this one I'm glad I didn't splash out on the more expensive one (so is my husband)
Tomorrow I'm going to make bread so I may be updating this review- hopefully in a good way- as that is the main reason for buying this machine.If it performs as well as it did today,I will be more than satisfied!
I would recommend this mixer to anyone,in fact I already have!
