"Excellent machine" star star star star star I bought this as an upgrade to my trusty Kenwood chefette and it is amazing, it is so robust and strong and makes light work of all manner of large batch mixes. The weigh feature is so useful and I cannot imagine life without it now, and I have also used the heating feature many times. I have used the machine for small amounts too (e.g. whisking one egg white) with no problems. I was procrastinating for a while before purchasing because of the hefty price tag but am thrilled with my purchase, so well designed. Extra touches like the light make such a difference.
"Good upgrade" star star star star star Not as intuitive as I thought it would be. However once mastered the machine is a real boon. I especially like the proving function as it saves removing the dough from the bowl and finding a suitably warm place in the house to prove bread. The two bowls are also very useful. A good upgrade from the Titanium chef I already own.
"Light faulty, scale inaccurate, stopped working DISAPPOINTED" star star_border star_border star_border star_border Bought this a month ago. The first time I used it, illuminating light would not turn off even when 'off' was selected. Emailed Lakeland straightaway. Several days later, Lakeland replied & asked me to contact Kenwood. Kenwood said I should get back to Lakeland. Emailed Lakeland back twice & heard nothing for over 2 weeks. Used it 2nd time today (Xmas Eve) & it's stopped working completely with a faulty code of E49. Phoned Kenwood who told me to get a refund from Lakeland. Phoned Lakeland who promised a refund, which I've now received. I've now bought a different mixer and am very happy with it support_agent A note from the team Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear that your Kenwood mixer was faulty and for the inconvenience this caused you. I’m pleased we could refund you.
