I had a kenwood mixer for about 2 years, albeit the cheaper patissier model. I was never really happy with it and often resorted to my hand mixer. But I was almost relieved when it finally died and I could buy this mixer. What a difference, which is surprising considering it has less wattage. A chef I met a couple of years told me not to judge by watts, it actually is quite misleading as it doesn't mean neccessarily it is a better machine. According to the strip at the top, I've had this mixer for nine months and it gets used at least 2-3 a week. I use the beater and whisk attachment the most as I think dough hooks geneally don't knead dough as well as you can by hand as they don't incorporate enough air. That said I have used it on occasion and have not had any problems. Any mixer will leave mix around the sides of a bowl, and any good cookbook/recipe will remind you to "scrape down the sides" when mixing so I reject this as the fault of this mixer. I have never had so many compliments on my baking since using this machine. It is heavy and getting in and out of a cupboard requires formidable strength so I recommend keeping it on the counter. Not everyone will love this machine, understandably, but I swear by it and my creations speak for themselves.

I received the brushed nickel version of this for my Christmas in 2007. I had wanted one for a long time! After a couple of weeks the pin holding the motor head to the base fell out while I was using it, damaging the bowl and beater. I was sent a replacement from Amazon. A few months later while using the mixer to knead dough I noticed the mixer head was unlocking and being pushed up by the dough. I phoned KitchenAid and they asked me to package it up and send it to them to be repaired. I got it back repaired a couple of weeks later. This same thing has happened again and it is due to be delivered back today. I have only used the machine about 7 or 8 times for kneading dough and have always been very careful to follow instructions on amounts et.c. I am amazed that something that looks and feels so sturdy (it weighs a ton) is so obviously not. I don't find that it performs particularly well in whipping egg whites or making cakes (there is always a layer next to the bowl that is unmixed and yes I have tried adjusting the beater to bowl clearance). I now if I want a good result get my handheld kenwood out (£15). I do however find the KitchenAid fine for whipping cream and mashing potato. I think these mixers look fantastic but really aren't very good.
If you do get one keep the packaging so can easily send it for repair!

I lost custody of my much loved Kenwood Chef when I got divorced and splashed out on this to replace it. It is certainly much better looking, but I wish that the lever to raise the beaters and the on/off switches were on one side. I also wish it had a push button mechanism to eject the beater, to save me getting so messy doing this by hand. This would make it easier to insert the beater, which I find tricky as I can never remember which way it has to turn to lock in. And, as noted by another reviewer, when you are making dough, or anything that needs a long period of mixing, you have to watch the machine - in spite of its weight it can move surprising quickly across the worktop!

KitchenAid Stand Mixer
I love my KitchenAid Stand Mixer, it is so easy to use and better still, so easy to clean. I don't know how I managed before I had one.
