Kenwood KM400 / KM410 Chef Classic 750 Watts Stand Mixer

Pros: Professionally designed, lasts for ages if it taken care of, produces wonderful baking. Many attachments.

If there is one kitchen mixer which has withstood little cosmetic decoration but has earned a well rounded reputation, it has to be the Kenwood Chef. Perhaps spurned on recently by young chefs and cooks in the public eye, the Kenwood Chef is a machine ...

Pros: efficient and hard wearing
Cons: bulky and heavy

When I was a child my mother owned a Kenwood chef, she still does! Her Kenwood is at least 30 years old and has been used regularly over that time with no problems.

When I got my own home one of the items I had to own was my own...

Pros: Powerful, stable, durable, pretty, large mixing bowel
Cons: None

I purchased two kitchen Aid mixers and they all developed problems within the first month so I returned them with a decision not to buy this brand again. I then purchase a Kenwood mixer which I have used regularly for almost two years without any flaw. This machine is powerful, large and it will do every thing you ask for. It is very stable and will handle heavy duty mixing job without any problem. These machines are really built to last and they are superior to any other mixer in the market.

If you are in the market for a mixer, pay little bit extra and get the Kenwood. You will never regret it.
