Hi all

I'm after a food mixer, I'd like a kenwood chef but really don't have the room for it. Want to spend about £150, ideally I'd like it to be able to kneed dough.

What do you recormend?

Thanks

A grand though

But...

Program your own blend cycles from your computer

So it's a must have for someone on a Computer forum.

A blender and food mixer are two different things.

If you can possibly make room for the Kenwood, do so. My Dad bought my Mum one when they got married (oh how times have changed!) and it's still going strong 45 years later. They've even still got all the attachments etc.

Kenwoods do seem to last. The one mum got as gift on their wedding day is still going almost 30-years albeit with a few things broken/missing.

I've got a Kenwood Chef Km010, bit over your budget though

Find space for a kenword, little else comes close. Mine is older than me and still going strong despite a lot of usage (belonged to my Granny).

Aye - One of the few things I don't have in the kitchen is a decent stand mixer but if I were to get one, it would be a kenwood! They have a superb reputation

Kenwood Prospero Kitchen Machine.
420/1726 £164.99 @ Argos
first one i found, tis the compact version of the standard mixer.

Dave85 · 24 Apr 2010 at 14:53

Looks good if a little small. Did you see the Kenwood Chef Fixed Stand Mixer.
422/8785* £179.99

Little larger and with a blender aswell.

Tobywon · 24 Apr 2010 at 14:55

I did see that but the OP said about space being an issue

Dave85 · 24 Apr 2010 at 14:58

This is true forgot about that. really that little kenwood should do the job nicely

whats the difference between that and the kenwood chef?

Tobywon · 24 Apr 2010 at 15:30

price, size and power. if you were to look at the specs of the two you'd see that... not to sound bitchy but seems a tad obvious.
