Kenwood Chef Titanium Kitchen Machine, Stainless Steel - 5 qt - Kitchen Mixer - 800W Motor & Electronic Variable Speed Control - Includes Dishwasher-Safe Work Bowl & Three Mixing Tools

It comes without the electronic gadgets, which are mostly unneccessary. It simply works very well and BEST OF ALL it is made from Stainless Steel!!It assembles and disassembles easy, it cleans completely just with a hot water shower without without having to worry about rust.It has one of the most powerful motors inside with 700 Watt and it has not bogged down at full load, running on a sufficient #1 position.All the coupling ports for Blender, Meat Grinder etc, all together three (3) are beautifully hidden by covers giving the Design Engineer a big "Atta boy".Everything looks fresh, clean and you can tell someone put in a lot of thought and all efforts at the complete unit were done to make this the pride of a very great designer.The up and down head tilt movement is very simply done and it operates on extremely smooth and precise movements.to me it is the BEST UNIT ON THE MARKET!! - CONGRATULATIONS TO A JOB WELL DONE.

While I had initial reservations about this machine after finding out that it was not European-made, I am happy to write that KMC011 mixer is of outstanding quality. First of all the machine is just the right size and weight, fits perfectly on the counter under cabinets and looks very elegant. So far it works without a flaw - smooth, easy speed adjustments, perfect fit of all the accessaries (no scraping of the bowl), quiet etc. My wife loves that it is easy to use - the bowl is super light to lift, easy to clean, just like real stainless steel tools that came with the machine. Clever design of side blowing motor cooling air. Tried meat grinder and it is excellent as well. With the 5 year motor warranty it's is a keeper.

Went for this over the KitchenAid and LOVE IT. The motor isn't crazy loud - you can have a comfortable convo over it. The scraper attachment works beautifully so no worrying about scraping the bowl down for batters, and I've found if you mix the ingredients a bit and then use the dough hook it brings together beautiful doughs in no time. (Many recipes have you use the dough hook to mix, but that never seemed to work for me; however, a few stirs before using the hook made all the difference.) Auto-shutoff came in handy during Thanksgiving, and gave our guy a nice lil break without harshing our schedule.Croissant dough, bagel dough, panettone - all quite difficult by hand and now make multiple batches through the week.LOVE IT SO MUCH2024 Update: Everything above. I've often found doughs need less time than the recipe calls for, especially if the recipe reference is a KitchenAid. Rarely go past speed 2, but when I do works great (and fast)! Whipped cream, pasta, cookies, double batches of bread, etc - all easy and quick. Every time I use this machine, I think about how much I love it - particularly after years baking by hand. The attachments are hard to find in the US, but the machine is beyond stellar!

I used to owned Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer and I must say that this product is much better. It's really worth extra money You have to pay for it but if You'll be able to get it on sale it makes it not that much more expensive than Kitchen Aid. It's more quiet, works smoother and You can really feel the power of it. The quality of attachments is also much better than Kitchen Aid. My only complain would be that not all attachments are easily available in US. I was lucky to get Food Processor attachment on ebay at very good price only because someone got it at some kind of presentation and didn't need it. Now my friend is looking for one and it looks that she'll have to get it from Europe because it's unavailable on Amazon.

For much of my adult life I have had a Kitchen Aid and have always been told it was the best. I now make all my own bread and this is SO much better. The dough doesn't crawl up the shaft. It does not overheat. It is much easier to clean. A much smaller profile on the counter. More expensive but worth every penny. My granddaughter will enjoy my old Kitchen Aid. It is still a great mixer but not nearly as good as my new Kenwood.

This is the same as my 10 y.o. unit branded as Cuisinart (which is different than the current Cuisinarts. I've loved it and it has served me well . . . I'm a very frequent user. Additionally I liked the shorter profile, powerful motor, attachments, etc. I was even thrilled that my Cuisinart bowls and attachments would work! Alas the power cord is (a) very short and (b) comes out of the left side of the unit rather than the back. It won't reach the outlet as my Cuisinart did so sadly, it's going back.

It is very heavy to lift. Works well. Takes some getting used to since you need to turn a lever tolift out the beaters. Not as easy to scrape the sides of the bowl as some. I make bread, and thismachine holds up well without overheating. Overall I'm happy with it.

Still have my mom's Kenwood from 1950. Still works but it was packed for a move & tipped sideways. Gears inside are metal I guess because some oil came out. Afraid to use it until I have it serviced (trying to locate a place to do it). Didn't hesitate to buy this brand. More expensive than most but it's super! I love it! Had to whip up a cake right away. (I know things aren't made like they were 70 years ago, but I have faith in this product.) Let's see how far this baby goes!
