After the sad passing of our kitchen aid, we could not justify the expense of a new one. Been there, done that. This one was the best of the rest. It does the job, though sounds somewhat in a frenzy about it. At present it holds up kneading dough – which is why I bought it. Everything else then is presumably within its reach. Feels plasticky, but works well. I would buy it again. The suckers hold it down too, so that’s useful – the large 5 litre bowl version, and has six suckers rather than four on the smaller one. The dough hook is good enough too.
I’m absolutely delighted with this stand mixer. I have arthritic hands, so kneading dough for fresh bread or pastry is painful. I’ve been promising myself one of these for years, and it really didn’t disappoint.
I love:
The large bowl, easily removed and placed because of its handles.
Splash guard
Easy tilt mechanism
Easy to use dial to choose speed

This feels like solid, sturdy piece of kit that will hopefully last me a long while. Love it!
I was dubious initially but found reviews on you tube and it came out well. As it was available in warehouse deals and this reduced the price to what it would have been for a handheld it convinced me to buy. I’ve used it for dough and cake mix and it’s fine. The large sized bowl is good and the splatter guard is a great idea. So I’m happy all round
overall very good
The food mixer itself is basic but sturdy and super easy to use. For the price, it does the job so no complaints from me. I only deducted 1 star because the paddle attachment keeps pushing mixture to the sides rather than mixing it. A bit annoying especially if you like to use the paddle attachment to make buttercream. So after scrapping the butter from the sides, I gave up and used the whisk attachment and changed to paddle once all the icing sugar was incorporated. No issues and buttercream came out lovely every time.
Have not used the kneading attachment yet so cannot comment on that, but so far I have had no issues despite being heavily used for Christmas baking!
Pros: it looks good and not cheap looking, sticks to the surface so will not move, does not overheat, quiet, easy to use and clean and most importantly helped me made beautiful cakes and cupcakes.
Cons: the paddle attachment is not very good if there isn’t a big quantity of mixture in the bowl.
Overall, I am really happy with this purchase.
I really like the anti-slip feet which have a good grip on the worktop and keep the mixer steady when I am using it. The mixer comes with a whisk, dough hook, and mixing beater which is more than sufficient for my needs.
Now it takes me less than half the time to make my cakes and they came out light and moist, which my son and husband really love, including the mixer of course. The mixer also looks very good in the kitchen and very easy to clean if you don’t leave it for too long.
It really saves loads of time whisking eggs which I have to hand whisked previously. On top of that, it also mixes much better. The large bowl came in really handy when baking for more people. Most mixers only come with a bowl around 5L.
In terms of reliability, I don’t think it will be an issue. It feels really solidly built plus, it automatically senses the temperature and shuts it down if it overheats. To all those who love baking, don’t waste your time looking, just go for this one, you won’t regret it. Wish I had bought it a long time ago.
