Kenwood kMix Stand Mixer for Baking, Stylish Kitchen Mixer with K-beater, Dough Hook and Whisk, 5L Glass Bowl, Removable Splash Guard, 1000 W, Cream

Used for several days and write review. I have one kenwood mixer, this is spare one. the glass bowl is too heavy. but the machine is good.

Kenwood have a good reputation when it comes to stand mixers. After looking at what seems like 100 different mixers, this is the one we settled on and it is brilliant. Comes well packaged and has a nice modern aesthetic while still maintains a classic stand mixer look.Comes with a few different attachments ( propriety 'K' shaped mixer, whisk and bread attatchments) with the ability to add other additional attachments including things like a meat mincer. These seem really good quality and a nice and heavy. They are easy to swap between and clean.The machine itself also gives the feeling of quality. Has a nice metal housing and lever (to tip the mixer back) and good chunky dial to control the speed of the mixer, as well as turn it on and off. This allows even a moron like me to use it with ease. Doesn't move at all along the kitchen counter, even at full tilt. Not the most expensive mixer either, so I consider it to be very good value.Has made baking and cooking much easier and quicker due to the conservation of elbow-grease...just remember to put the splash guard on.

Why we bought it:We were looking for something which hopefully would last for a long time, so we were willing to invest a little more. So we decided to buy this because: 1.Wanted it to be from metal, 2. Be quiet 3.Manage heavy dough. 4. It was recommended to us over Kitchen Aid (also much better priced) .The product we received was with a glass Bowl and here are our observations: All metal, beautiful Manages air very well , does not overheat Manages heavy dough In comparison with my mother's Bosch and other mixers it is really quiet, exactly as expected Excellent visibility because of the glass bowl Fantastic speed control ! Easy to clean- The power cord does not retract- The plastic thread ring broke /- The glass bowl is heavyAbout the plastic ring problem. Those who buy the version with the glass bowl should have the following in mind.In order for it to be attached it uses a plastic thread ring as a medium between the cup and the base. You should be careful not to turn it too tightly because it is possible to break during operation. I knew that before receiving the product and was careful but to no avail.After the 7th use the bowl wouldn't come out. I poured some olive oil to unscrew it and after i got it out , the ring just shattered into pieces. Kenwood were very helpful (although it took them almost a week to respond) and sent me a replacement.Overall the machine is amazing and everything we wanted. If you want to avoid problems with the plastic ring - order the product with a steel bowl.
