Until I received my kMix stand mixer for review, I had never used a stand mixer, so I was a tad scared. No need to: it's all really simple to operate with very few bits. The kMix stand mixer is an absolute beauty and it fits perfectly on my tiny kitchen counter. With a power of 1000 watts, it's also a real best. It looks and feels sturdy. So far, we've used it to make cakes and meringues and I am now wondering to myself: why on earth didn't I invest in a stand mixer before?

The Kenwood kMix does everything you want it to and more when it comes to baking – the incredible 1000W output means it’s one powerful beast that whips your ingredients into shape in no time at all – with the beater perfect for creating light and fluffy cakes, the whisk allowing you to create delicate buttercream and more for your creations. I haven’t yet made bread but the dough hook looks like a handy tool to save all that effort with kneading too. The kMix also has multi-speed functionality, which is really handy to have total control over your recipe and also to avoid covering the kitchen in cake batter (luckily a tip I was told BEFORE using my mixer was to start off slow!). The kMix does come with a splash-guard though too, so don’t worry too much about any mess. One of the best features of the kMix is the large, glass mixing bowl – fully transparent, so there is no need to peek over the top at your mixture, you’ll have a full view during the whole process of creating your cake. The kMix just feels powerful, luxurious and a breeze to use. The attention to detail is just second to none, plus it’s good to know it’s a trusted British brand we all know and love too. Highly recommended!

Great mixer works well,looks good is quiet and easy to use.

Bought as a present for my granddaughter who loves it.

Birthday present from my boys. First time food mixer for me and I found it so easy, no worries no fuss, used it nearly every day since it arrived

Lovely mixer at great price. Good quality and easy to use. It is quite heavy so not an appliance you want to store in a cupboard to take out when in use if you are going to be using often but it looks good on worktop! Mixing tools easy to fit and remove and glass bowl is nice and thick so less likely to break in an accident and has clear measuring lines.

stylish machine, classic looking and works really well. overall very happy with it.

Whoever Ken Wood is he's made a great job of his mixer. I've seen his machine at grandparents, aunties and uncles houses all through my life and have never used it. Yet everyone I know always told me you can't beat Ken Wood. Well now I can because I've got his mixer! Brilliant for baking, 'Bake Off' eat your heart out. Super-light egg whites, fantastic bread dough, sponge to die for. I'm keeping this and your not having it back. Sorry Ken.
