Always wanted a kitchen aid, but in first trial a little disappointed it doesn’t mix at the bottom of he bowl!

Amazing mixer, I cannot imagine this will ever break or need replacing. Any other mixer is a false economy, perhaps they're cheaper, but it will break, and you will end up replacing it. Skip all of that, get this one. Its the type of item that will be pulled from the wreckage of my mums kitchen long after nuclear war has destroyed society, and placed in a museum dedicated to understanding life before our monkey overlords take charge. While the ape leaders of the future may not understand the point of a mixer (because bananas don't need mixing) they will appreciate its solid build quality, beautiful looks and range of useful attachments. My mum also liked it for the same reasons. King Steve the orangutan leader of post nuclear Earth will probably hold an annual procession dedicated to this blender. His Queen thinks this is over the top, but then again, she probably admires cheaper kitchen gadgets, and quite frankly has been trying to usurp the throne for some time. We can only hope King Steve figures this out and is able to keep stability in the future. All hail King Steve, may his offspring be hairy with long arms, and their bananas be plentiful. Also arrived on time.

pros: Heavy and solid machine, does not start "walking" at heavy loads. cons: Less powerful than most of the competitors in the field (300W). As a result, bread kneading can sometimes be tricky and the machine can run hot. Conclusion: good all-round machine with retro design.

Excellent product am very pleased with it. Have used it for cupcakes amazing results and very fast and quiet compared to my old mixer. Also made Bread which was kneeded effortlessly and turned out well. Glad I treated myself.

The rolls Royce of mixers , looks amazing and takes pride of place on my worktop!

Took the plunge and bought the Kitchen Aid mixer out of all the ones available. I have not been disappointed, mixes well, solidly made, does exactly what it should do and should last a lifetime I reckon! Great product highly recommend!

As a former Mastercef Finalist, I finally treated myself to this KitchenAid and I can’t believe I didn’t buy one sooner! I made a lemon drizzle cake with my new mixer, which was a breeze to make, and the end result was a soft, moist, ‘lip smaking’ cake. Totally different to making it by hand. Chalk and Cheese springs to mind. My husband said it was the best cake I’ve ever made. The mixer looks great too, matches my black and white kitchen, however it small enough to hide away between uses - We’re not one for clutter on the worktops. Oh, AO are brilliant too, ordered Saturday lunchtime, and it was delivered Sunday morning - hows that for service. Brilliant - twofold outstanding, the product and the company.

This mixer is the standard, don't bother with any other. Pay the money and you wont regret it. Not many products last a life time such as this and the amount of extras you can add is unbelievable. Its the only accessory you need in the kitchen.
