Innovative Open-Top Design – Add ingredients without having to turn off the mixer or lift a mixing headUsing a stand mixer can often be daunting. MixStar is designed with ease of use first and foremost, and makes mixing hassle free. The innovative design moves the motor under the bowl to provide an open top design, meaning there is no need to turn off the mixer to add ingredients, or move it out from under cupboards during a mix. Changing over the attachments, removing the bowl and using the controls have been made as simple and straight forward as possible, so you can get on with the task at hand with minimal fuss and bother. | Compact yet Powerful DesignTraditional mixers are often big and bulky, take up valuable work top space and don’t fit in many cupboards. MixStar has been designed with modern living and usage in mind but still retains a large 4 litre working capacity mixing bowl. Without the large mixing arm, it has a smaller footprint and is lower in height, which means it can be stored inside cupboards easier. If you choose to it leave out, MixStar also fits into any kitchen space with ease and can still be operated under a kitchen cupboard. By being able to leave it out and access it more easily, you will get much more out of MixStar. | Compact Space Saving Design With Storage Caddy – Takes up less worktop space and easy to storeStoring a stand mixer and accessories can often be a problem, and leaving accessories loose in the bowl can cause damage. To overcome this as well as preventing you losing parts or scrabbling through drawers and cupboards, we have designed an innovative caddy to store all the accessories neatly. The MixStar caddy sits in the bowl without causing damage, and has a space for each component – so they are ready when you need them. | Full Cover Splash Guard with Liquid Inlet – So all ingredients stay in the bowlMixing can be a messy process, so MixStar includes a transparent splash guard that covers the full bowl. This allows you to keep an eye on your mix, whilst keeping your kitchen surfaces mess free. The splash guard has an inlet built in as well with its own cover, which makes it even easier to add liquids and ingredients to your mix without the worry of the contents splashing out onto you. |

Built-In Dual Blade Scrapers – To ensure ingredients are mixed and reduce scrape down timeOn a traditional stand mixer, you often need to stop the mix in order to scrape down. This requires manoeuvring the machine, raising the arm head and then scraping around repeatedly, which can be messy and tiresome. MixStar includes a dual scraper attachment that can be used with the whisks and beaters. They rotate at the same time as the attachments, scraping down the sides of the bowl and saving you a lot of time and effort. They also help to incorporate all the ingredients, so that you get the perfect mix. | Dual Action Attachments, 2 Beaters, 2 Whisks, Dual Dough Hooks – For the perfect mix.Stand Mixers rely on one large attachment, and require a few revolutions in order to mix the entire bowl’s contents. MixStar delivers twice the action with dual, counter-rotating mixing attachments. They rotate on their own axis whist also spinning around the bowl, ensuring you get the perfect mix. MixStar includes 2 beaters, 2 whisks and a dual dough hook, as well as crib cards to guide you on what to use for different mixtures. The twin beaters effortlessly incorporate everything into the mixture and are suitable for medium to thick batters. Twin whisks whip in tandem to help incorporate air into your mix more efficiently than standard planetary stand mixers. The dual hook dough blade simulates a skilled artisan baker’s hands as it stretches, folds and tucks bread dough. | Count-up Timer – To track mixing timeTo help follow recipes with specified mixing times, we have incorporated a digital count-up timer. It starts when you begin mixing, pauses when you do and will continue to count when you start up again. When you enter the next phase of your recipe, you can reset the timer at the touch of a button. | 6 Speed MotorAlthough Mix Star is compact, it still performs and can handle any mixing tasks you throw at it. The 650W, 6 variable speed motor and dual action accessories allow you to mix a variety of ingredients with ease. MixStar can handle bread dough or batter, and is delicate enough for whipping egg whites or cream. |

I was worried about the power, but it seems ample. Easy to use and clean. Love the compact form factor. Very satisfied.
I bought this mixer as all the attachments store in the bowl very easily, and it doesn’t take up to much room in my small kitchen. It works well in all the different uses !!!
Only down side is its a bit of a pain to clean and dry, as the mixer arm is in the centre of the bowl.
This is a very good investment for any keen Baker ect ,ideal for us smaller people ,not having to stand on tip toe to see mixer working .Very fast on top speed ,lovely and compact saving worktop space .Love the storage bowl inside for the accessories. PERFECT !
It’s excellent in so many ways. The drawbacks are small, but nevertheless slightly annoying. Because there is a shaft up the centre of the bowl you do not quite have access to the whole bowl when, for example, sifting flour, and when scraping out the beaten mixture. However I liked everything else about it, and am glad I bought it.
Excellent product easy to assemble and use, storage problem solved
The machine was bought as read excellent reviews about it and that is lightweight and fabulous.
I have used to make my daughters wedding cake so far.
I ordered this item tuesdayit arrived Wednesday, I’ve been using it to make cakes today wonderful machine,so easy to use,and it’s a doddle to use,and so simple to clea
However it is really really loud so no listening to anything or baking at night due to the noise. This is why I marked it a 4 star.
After buying one from a well known shop and returning it I was reluctant on which mixer to get next. This came up and after research I saw it was a good one. I went for it and I don’t regret it. It’s really good efficient and mix everything properly. Does what I says on the box. Go for it!
Arrived in it’s original packaging which I liked. Eco friendly choice.
I bought this mixer specifically for mixing dough and cakes. Definitely powerful enough for all kinds of dough. Have used this for focaccia, granary, multi-seeded and pizza dough with no issues at all. Muffins, sponge cakes and also a very fruity Christmas cake were also easy to prepare.
There are quick guide cards to suggest which mixer heads and which setting to best use. These are super handy and small enough to store inside the mixer.
I specifically ordered this mixer as it ranked highly as a compact mixer. I don’t have a great deal of worktop space and this easily fits in a kitchen cupboard. All the accessories fit inside the mixing bowl so it’s perfect if you’re short on space.
I love the timer function, super handy for dough and the speed options. It is definitely not the quietest at higher speeds but it’s also not a big problem because let’s be honest it’s doubtful you’ll be mixing for really long periods of time.
The suction pads keep the mixer in place for long periods of time but they are also easy to release when cleaning and storing the mixer.
Highly recommended for the price and functionality.
Very clever design with the accessories being packed away inside the bowl. Everything cleans really easily even sticky bread dough! Has handy count down screen to tell you how long it has been running. It is very noisy when making bread dough, but then its only running for about 5 minutes and the result is great. For a small kitchen this is a great machine.
Iv wanted one of these for Months ever since my parents purchased one. When it went on sale I couldn’t resist buying it. These are so easy to use and clean out after and die to its design so much easier to store for those of us with smaller kitchen space
This is well worth the money I wouldn’t be without it now how did I manage before? every thing I mixed has turned out perfec
To ENHANCE MY BAKING SKILLS PLENTY OF CRUSTY LOAFS ON THE TABLE.
Loved using this for my daughters birthday cake. It’s nice that icing sugar doesn’t go everywhere as it has a lid.
OMG I am impressed and very happy to have it !!! This Mixtar mixer is the second hand in my kitchen. It is compact space saving with storage caddy and has dual action attachments, 2 beaters, 2 whisks, dual dough hooks; built-in dual blade scrapers; 6 speed motor and count-up timer; 4 Litre capacity; full cover splash guard with liquid inlet; dishwasher safe bowl and accessories. Very easy to use and clean. Great price. Highly recommend it!
Its easy to clean it’s also got a timer which is great my main gripe is It’s very noisy also there was no recipes included like it says on the box.
Love this – it’s compact, which was a must for me, it’s not too heavy like a traditional mixer, it’s brill for having to time how long you need to beat/ whisk eggs for etc. the fact that all the attachments fit in the bowl and it’s soo much quieter than my last kenwood mixer. Only negative comments is the spatulas don’t always get the mixture from round the edges whilst mixing but no big issue. Would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone !!
-simple to use. Just plug and turn the handle to the desidered speed.
-It’s perfect if you have a small house because it doesn’t take up much space.
-you can keep all of its attachment inside the bowl and that’s fantastic
-it’s very sturdy
-every part of it can be disassembled and cleaned
Cons:
-when kneading a dough and set to maximum speed it tends to move from its position and go around, despite having suction cups at the base
-noisy, especially at higher speeds
-the spatula doesn’t really keep everything at the bottom of the bowl so you might need to do it yourself.
At this price it’s a good deal, especially if you don’t need over the top settings and functions and just want a compact appliance that does everything other mixer do
Unboxed, quick wash, cake mixed and in the oven soopa fast! Lovely fluffy Victoria sponge. I’ve only ever used a hand mixer, but this is great! The plastic guard is really good idea- stops icing sugar filling the kitchen! Short enough to fit under my cupboard shelf. Easy to fit together, compact with storage for mixer tools. Haven’t tried bread dough yet – expect that would be the best test. If your in two minds the reviews are worth believing, great to buy a product these days that’s had some intelligent design. I’m totally happy I decided to get one!
Neat, easy to store.
Highly recommend.
This is a must well built and strong Made my first loaf in this machine well needed perfect mix Very happy
Was great for my Nan. Did everything she needed. Excellent product easy to use.
Just so easy to use and it fits in my cupboard
I wanted one that didn’t take up too much worktop space so this is just perfect for me. I haven’t had previous experience of using a mixer but the sound is as I would expect and I can keep all the accessories within it and store it on a shelf. Perfect!
I’ve already got one of those large Bake Off style mixers which has to permanently stand on a kitchen work surface because it’s too large and heavy to keep on a shelf in a cupboard or elsewhere because it’s not really portable. The worktop space lost by the size of that machine is a big drawback and also it’s not visually pleasing. This Morphy Richards MixStar is the perfect solution.
It comes boxed and all fitted together like an amazing tardis-like jigsaw. The mixer attachments are all kept together inside the bowl. If you’re short of storage and/or kitchen space, this really does make a difference.
The motor and mechanical parts seem good, sturdy and well built. It’s a little noisy but none of these gadgets are quiet, they’re workhorses of the kitchen.
The attachments are plentiful — whisks, beaters and dough hooks. They are perfectly shaped for the bowl and mix ingredients quickly and effectively without leaving unmixed mixture round the sides. They make quick work of cake making — just set it off with the first ingredients and gently drop everything else in. It has six speed settings which really is enough. My ‘big’ machine has ten speed settings and I only ever use three anyway.
For the price, I think this is a really good mixer. I was going to say compromise mixer, but unless you bake massive cakes (the bowl is a bit on the small side) there is no compromise. The gain of saving worktop space by being able to put it away instead of leaving a tonne weight one out, is enormous for me. Well worth the money.
First thing I have to say about this is how everything stores so easily inside, and it is obvious where all the different attachments go so it is easy to dismantle, use, and then put everything back in.
The instructions that come with it are great, easy to understand and also come with some recipe suggestions to get you started. However of course you make any recipe you want with this!
Comes with three different types of attachments, so the variety of things you can make with it is great!
Now onto using, it was pretty easy to set up, choose the attachment I needed and get going. The noise it makes gets a little getting used to. It isn’t noisy as such, it just isn’t a mixer noise I’m used to.
I found it so easy to make what I wanted, and it turned out great! Easy to choose the speed and also has a counter so you know how long it has been mixing for.
Overall, very happy. Doesn’t take up loads of space, and makes some great stuff!
Compact and easy to put away when not in use, functions the same as the typical desig
Fantastic product, clever design, easy to clean and store, just wish I’d found it years ago. Would highly recommend
Did everything that it was asked to do and more when needed.
Glad I bought this as I have a bad shoulder and kneading dough was hard. If put on high speed the mixer moves so you have to hold it but otherwise its great. It’s also easy to clean.
a great mixer with all the tools and a small footpri
Good value for money and easy to use, takes up very little space.
Works a treat and my wife is now constantly baking cakes, so win win. 🙂
What an awesome idea this model is, it is sleek looking and does not stand out like a sore thumb.
I just love this machine it is easy to use easy to clean and it stores everything away inside it’s self.
Really pleased with this mixer. Fits nicely into my kitchen. Very easy to use and good results with cakes and biscuits I have made. Not tried the dough hooks yet, will try soon.
It is deep so able to make large quantities. probably larger than i anticipated but works very well
Great product. Mixes right to the bottom of the bowl. Easy cleaned
Fits under the counter. Not as noisy as Kitchen Aid. Very convenient with all of the attachments in handy bowl which fits in mixer bowl.
It works the ingredients right down to the bottom and sides of the bowl and all the parts come apart for easy cleaning.
This mixstar has made me fall in love with baking! So easy to use
This is a great piece of kit which combines multiple machines into one while being nice and easy to store without taking up too much kitchen/cupboard space
–
I find in my kitchen that all my cupboard are literally stuffed full with things. The largest being kitchen appliances like these as you often have to have a different ones for each task. It’s refreshing to get this which is capable to doing multiple jobs with the quick and easy swappable attachments. All the attachments can fit inside the bowl so it’s very easy to put it all in the cupboard. The instructions even include a few example recipes and I made bread. Easy to follow instructions and the mixer preformed very well. Plus the bowl is nice and big so you can fit in lots of ingredients. All the attachments are duel so they’re great at any task – Beating, whisking, mixing etc. It’s pretty easy to clean as all the pieces come off so you can wash them all individually.
–
The only downside may be that it’s a little pricy at around 160, but if it looks like something you want and combines multiple machines you use into one, then it would be worth buying this for sure. It’s a fantastic piece of kit and I love how easy it is to use and store away. Definitely recommended!
I would say that this mixer is probably the love child of a Kenwood Chef style stand mixer and a food processor. It has all the best elements of both which gives it an edge over either.
Having had a traditional stand mixer for many years, when this mixer came out of the box and I saw all the attachments neatly stored within the bowl, my hard skipped a beat. It’s easy to find what you need, and pop it back in place when you’re done. And it keeps all the elements together. A plus for always knowing where the correct attachments are, and for saving space in drawers and cabinets.
The bowl itself is big and spacious. It’s got a 4 litre capacity and it feels like you can see the whole bowl while it’s mixing. I also loved the extra scraper on the bottom of the mixing element. It ‘wipes’ away any mixture sitting along the bottom/middle of the bowl, making sure that every part of your ingredients are well mixed. There’s also a splash guard to pop on top of the bowl to keep the machine from sloshing things over the side. You don’t have to use it, however, to make the mixer go.
And if you’re like me, and after you’re done baking/cooking, you’re not really in the mood to go through a mammoth washing-up session, then you’ll be as pleased as I was that all the attachments – and the bowl itself – are dishwasher safe!
It’s a very simple set-up. Just a dial to switch on and adjust speed. There’s also a handy timer so you can monitor how long you’ve been mixing for. Perfect if you’re using the mixer to make things like bread.
The mixer is a big unit but it makes the most of its size and is actually quite compact. It’s not too heavy to move from cupboard to unit top and it has useful rubber feet things that keep it anchored to the unit while mixing.
It’s also not too loud which is definitely a plus point.
For the quality and all the benefits you get with this mixer, the price is well worth it. I can see this mixer being in my home for years to come and it will quickly become a piece of equipment that will be getting a lot of use. Highly recommended and 5 stars.
We have a large traditional mixer with the arm, but it’s so big that it gets stored in our garage, so we end up using a simple hand held mixer instead.
This Morphy Richards mixer is a perfect size. Large enough that it comes with a 4 litre bowl, but compact and smart enough that it has earned the right to stay in the kitchen!
The mixer comes really well packaged and takes just a minute to set up. It comes with a variety of attachments for whisking, beating or making dough, and these are all neatly stored within the mixer itself on a removable tray in the main bowl.
The thing I really like about this mixer is that you can see everything mixing through the large glass domed lid. The lid comes with a reasonable sized detachable section so that you can add ingredients whilst you are mixing.
The electronic timer is a handy addition and it’s the first time I’ve seen this with a mixer.
The mixer had six different speed settings and is really powerful. As an added bonus it’s dishwasher safe too, so you clean any remaining bits of cake mix that the kids haven’t already eaten out of the bowl!
This really is a fantastic addition to the kitchen, it looks good, takes up less room and is a much cheaper price than many ‘premium’ mixers. I love it!
We really like this mixer, with the large open bowl that makes adding ingredients easy. It is just a mixer – rather than a multi-function machine that chops, slices and mixes – but that makes it very good at that one job. And it is very compact when in the cupboard, with everything onboard reducing the risk of losing a vital attachment.
It is quite loud, but not a bad as a stand mixer, and the variable speed, and timer will help you to turn out your showstopper with minimal drama.
One of the main features of the MixStar is the mixer bowl internal storage caddy, which is basically a bowl-shaped holder that very efficiently houses every single mixer accessory that you would ever require (Whisks, Beaters, Dough Hooks). All these accessories are included with the mixer, they all fit nicely within the internal storage caddy, and the caddy itself fits snugly within the mixer bowl, which should make storage of the MixStar an absolute blessing for most.
The MixStar is very easy to use, a clear and concise instruction booklet is included, which covers everything you could possibly think of, and there’s also a selection of recipes within the booklet to get you started. Should you require further assistance, Morphy Richards offers a wide range of support with their products, and they also have a great Blog for tips. Cleaning after use is not always so easy, and depending on what mixture has been within the unit, it can be quite time consuming, but seeing as this is the same for the majority of (if not all of) mixers on the market, it’s hardly a negative point to make.
A price of 159.99 at the time of ordering puts the MixStar into the expensive category, but the overall quality, efficient, and powerful performance reflects the asking price to a certain degree. If your budget will allow it, you won’t go far wrong with this mixer, but if you can get it whilst on offer, you’ll more than likely find that this is a five star product.
I’ve been very impressed with this food mixer. Morphy Richards has always been a brand to be trusted and this mixer backs this up – easy to use, easy to clean, looks good and it does what it’s supposed to and does it well.
Full instructions are also provided with the mixer, which is good as the various features do take some working out. All in all I’m delighted with this mixer, so I’m hoping to get many years of use out of it in the kitchen.
The stunning metal mixing bowl has a 4 litre capacity, i’ve used it to mix dough for chapatis and it does it in minutes . The clear plastic bowl cover has a inlet cover great as it allows to add ingredients or water while mixing . You get all the attachments you need double whisks , beaters and dough hooks. This mixer is worth its price tag , a very good quality mixer i hope to get many years of use out of.
The Mixstar is easy to assemble it does come with a very detailed and easy to understand manual. However i was able to get it started without even referring to it that’s how easy it is to use. There is a control Dial and timer on the motor housing giving you an option of 6 speeds. The timer at the front tracks how long you have been mixing for and it starts automatically when you start mixing and even when you stop mixing the timer will pause and restart from the same point when you start mixing again. This is a great feature as you can keep an eye on how long you have been mixing for.
The set up and Assembly is easy and simple and the instruction booklet has a section for each set up if you did need to refer back to it. The booklet also comes with some useful recipes in the back.
The mixer does make some noise as expected from the mixing motor but it’s nothing that you wouldn’t expect. The clean up after usage is easy the bowl and parts were easy to disassembled and washing was a breeze you can put in the dishwasher but i preferred to just handwash so i can dry and put parts and storage bowl back i to the main mixing bowl for storage. The motor base has sticky suction cups on the bottom of the base which helps keep mixer on your worktop without it moving.
i love this mixer and can’t wait to use it daily it looks fab on my counter top .
I hope you have found my review helpful.
It’s my first time using morphy Richards and I’m so impressed!! So easy to work with , very well presented packaging , arrive quick ! Detailed instructions included receipts for what we can cook with . Great value for money and very easy to work with ! Depending what you want To mix you can use different handles and basically you just build it and add the products , press the needed button and voila does everything for you
We’ve only ever had handheld mixers before so we’re really keen to try this and having used it for the last 3 weeks, we’re wondering how we ever lived without it. It arrives well packaged and is easy to assemble, taking around 2 minutes following the instructions. It takes up quite a bit of space as it has a large stainless steel mixing bowl (4 litres) but we just found the best place on our worktop and will leave it there.
The mixer arrives with all the mixing attachments and a really great feature is the plastic storage holder which sits inside the mixer when not in use and so you don’t have to find space for all the attachments – a great space saving design. The attachments include double whisks, beaters (which attach to the whisk holder) and dough hooks.
It has a turn dial which controls the speed and a LCD display tells you how long it’s been mixing for. If you stop the mixer by turning the dial to zero then the timer pauses and will restart when you switch it on again. You can reset it by pressing reset. You can use the mixer for hot or cold food and you get some recipes to follow in the instruction booklet.
A really good feature is the small plastic visor cover which can be easily removed to add more ingredients when in use and it slots in nicely when you’re done. It also has suction cups underneath so doesn’t move around when switched on.
The most noticable feature for me regarding this mixer is its premium quality – you can tell that all the parts are well made and will no doubt last a long time. It really does feel like a quality product and gives quality results, especially compared to our previous hand held mixers!
This really is a great mixer, a must have for any kitchen and is very highly recommended.
When it arrived it was packaged very safely and very tidily. It was easy to get out of the packaging. I took a quick look at the instructions and the manual, and I was ready to go since it looked quite simple.
Everything was inside the bowl, and it was very tidy. Because of this, this can be stored easily and it won’t take up that much room since you don’t have to lift it, the top is flat. It is also easy to put ingredients in because of the little gap that there is.
This mixer comes with a bowl, different accessories like whisks and scrapers, and a bread hook. However this mixer comes with 2 of everything, so 2 whisks, 2 bread hooks, etc…This is fantastic. They are all very easy to use, install, detach, and clean. The bowl is actually very big so you can fit a lot in there depending on what you are making.
What I love about this is that there are 6 different speeds, and there is also a timer. I have never seen a timer on any stand mixer so that is great because you could actually leave it for however long you have set the timer and it will automatically stop.
I love the fact that there aren’t many buttons or too many settings, and when you increase or decrease the speed it is very easy to do so. You can actually work this mixer without reading the instructions, it’s that easy. The mixer is also very sturdy, and nothing is loose or wobbly.
The mixer itself is actually quite powerful, and I don’t think you need to go over the speeds of 1 or 2 unless you are making a really big batch of bread. However, for cakes or icing, you only need it on a low speed.
When washing this, you can wash it by hand, but it is also dishwasher safe which is great. Overall, I like the look of this mixer and I absolutely love it. In my opinion, it is worth every penny, and it will last you your whole life because of the quality.
I definitely recommend this if you can afford it, it is absolutely fantastic!
I hope this review helps other people looking for this item or other similar products on Amazon.
Packaged well. Arrived in a large, nicely designed cardboard box.
This is an absolutely beautifully designed mixer and it’s powerful too. I’m a cake maker so I’ve gone through a few mixers over the years and this really is the best I’ve tried so far, nothing excites me more than trying a new mixer! (Oh dear!)
You can use this mixer for hot or cold food. You can mix anything from cupcakes and muffins to bread or creamy mashed potatoes! (Nom) Actually, in the instructions book provided, there are a good few recipes to try too and these look tasty!
There are designated cards for each mixer head, showing you which one’s best to use for each mix you’re doing. I quite like this, even though most times I’m sure I know, it’s nice to have a little guidance too.
This mixer is a great size. It’s nice and compact, well ok, it’s not the smallest but all of the contents do go within the mixer, saving you more space and if you’re like me, losing accessories here and there, this will help!
This set comes with a good few items –
* Motor housing. This is a charcoal grey colour. There is a timer on the front, which counts up as you mix, perfect for keeping track of how long you’ve been going and there is a reset button for this too, for starting a new mix. The control dial is next to the timer. That has 6 levels of speed. The base of this housing has 4, 1cm x 3cm sucker feet, so the base stays in place really well. The motor housing base itself, is roughly 30cm x 26cm x 9cm.
* Stainless steel mixing bowl. This is a good size, it has a 4 litre capacity and it feels durable. There is a sticker on the front but that comes off easily leaving no marks or residue behind. This is roughly 26.5cm wide and 13.5cm deep.
* Storage bowl. This is black solid plastic. This sits within the mixing bowl and holds all of the contents/accessories.
* Bowl cover with removable inlet cover. The inlet cover is a good size around 16.5cm wide and 6cm long. Allowing you to add ingredients to the mix without needing to remove the whole cover itself. With the cover on, the mixer is fully put together and is now 26cm tall.
* Twin assembly cover. This holds the part securely, that can be used by both the whisks and beaters. The top of this was scratched, this did disappoint me a little as for the price you’d think it would be in top condition but it’s not the end of the world though as it’s hidden within the lid.
* Whisks. These are a good size, nice and large, they sit on an angle and they spin themselves aswell as being spun around the bowl. They’re roughly 10cm x 9cm (at it’s widest part) I love this as it really gets to the mix at the edges of the bowl. The case these whisks sit in, can be removed with a good tug, to add the beaters onto.
* Beaters. These are solid light blue plastic. These are roughly 10.5cm x 9cm. These can be added to the whisk holder.
* Dough hooks. These are nice and large, durable stainless steel. One side is a different angle and height to the other, to really knead the dough.
* Guidance cards for the whisks/beaters and dough hooks. 7cm x 5cm little white plastic cards.
* Instructions booklet with recipes.
I am genuinely impressed with this mixer. I love it. The noise is a tad loud on the highest level, reaching around 87db but this to me doesn’t sound much louder than a cheaper mixer though.
The way the mixers circulate themselves aswell as being mixed around the bowl is brilliant. This really takes time off your mixing! The dough hooks are fantastic and probably some of the best I’ve seen.
I definitely would recommend this mixer. The power, the speed, time taken off mixing, everything you need in one for mixing pretty much anything and it really looks the part. It’s made well and thought out brilliantly for what’s needed. I think it’s worth the price.
There is a splash guard when in use, and there is an open entrance on the splash guard with its own cover. Avoid splashing the cream, and you can also add it when you stir.
Double scraper attachment, can be used with blender and blender. They rotate at the same time as the attachment, scraping the sides of the bowl, saving time.
It basically has all the accessories needed to make food, 6 variable-speed motors and double-acting accessories can easily mix various ingredients.
The first thing I liked was that the attachments are stored inside and lift out all at the same time in their container. . That makes it So much easier to keep tidy and to store.
Having said that you still need a large space to keep it.
2 It is solid and attached to the counter top so no moving around. even with dough hooks making bread..
3. The bowl scraper function seems to really work well and helps a lot.
4. It goes in the dishwasher which my magimix does not. It is not to replace a food processor. This is a tool for a baker and a really good one. The cream whisks up fast and well it the cake I made is just lovely.
The machine is very powerful and you need to start it on the lowest . Over all I greatly prefer this in so many ways to my stand mixer which I have loved for more years than i care to say. I love not having to lift the beaters, pour in stuff in a messy way and lift the beaters and scrape again and again.
This really is NEW DESIGN and great and much easier to use. Mixing from the bottom works fabulously and I am going to put the stand mixer away and use this all the time now. So nice to have new and more efficient appliances.
Thanks to the built-in storage, all of the whisks, etc conveniently store within the bowl when not in use, thus utilising the space in the bowl that would otherwise not be needed in between using it.
I must say, we genuinely cannot fault this mixer. The size is just right for our needs (mainly prepping cake mixes and the occasional bread). It’s also simple to operate, yet has plenty of speeds for your different mixing needs.
This stand mixer is definitely well recommended for anyone who loved cooking but doesn’t have the space for a full size mixer and all the accessories that go with it.

We have a large house, with a very large kitchen and utility room. However, we also have a wealth of kitchen gadgets that take up lots of space. Unlike a traditional food mixer that is big, bulky, and awkward to store, this is very clever, packs away nice and compact (similar to larger electronic kitchen scales). All the attachments sit inside a compartmented former that itself sits inside the stainless-steel bowl for easy storage.
Don’t run away with the idea that this is a faff compared to a traditional mixer — it isn’t! Very simple, easy and straightforward to use, easy to clean, and of course a breeze to store. It does everything you want it to do, with aplomb.
Now then, it doesn’t matter how innovative, or space-saving something is, if it’s at the expense of performance / functionality etc. Great though an idea like this is, it’s got to ‘do the business’, and do it properly. So, does it? Oh yes, with knobs on.
Pics and short clip are of bread mixing. You keep the cover on whilst initially mixing flour etc. and during water adding. Once it has mixed to the extent, no water or flour spraying out, remove the lid until finished. So, so easy to use, and brilliant quality.
I won’t bore you with everything this does. The product description lists clearly. Suffice to say it does what it says admirably.
Absolute full marks to Morphy Richards, a super product. It really is that good. I recommend this with a VERY high degree of enthusiasm — love it!
I hope that you find this helpful.
It’s probably one of the best mixer i’ve ever had and used. It took me a while to get used to it but once i got the hang i can’t go back to anything else. A must have for sure
About storage, I was expecting something much smaller, but it has a big mixing bowl, so I’m still thinking about where to store it.
Overall, I think that no one would be disappointed with this product, it is big, mixing very well, has different tools to suit your needs, it has a timer, all you need in one.
