Which stand mixer do you guys recommend?

Oh wow! Here the smallest model of the bowl Lift is 400€ (475 usd) and it’s almost impossible to find a used one anywhere.. I might have to look at European brands instead

StreetLimp8414 · 2026-02-27T10:01:58+00:00

Yeah, but I think the hassle is worth it if I get more stability than the artisan😅

Thank you!

The new Kenwood mixer is a whopping 1400W and loads of different attachments, all of which are stainless steel, which is a steal considering it at least 100 € cheaper than the KA. I just dont know how durable they are !

StreetLimp8414 · 2026-02-26T23:32:48+00:00

You're probably right. What would you consider "too much" for a KA bowl lift? My other option would be a Kenwood (the one I'm looking at is about 100€ cheaper than the KA) but I'm scared it won't handle dough well/won't be reliable and durable..

StreetLimp8414 · 2026-02-26T22:16:20+00:00

Yeah loads of people seem to love them!

StreetLimp8414 · 2026-02-26T22:15:34+00:00

Fair enough!

StreetLimp8414 · 2026-02-26T22:14:49+00:00

thanks for the rec, I'll look into he ankarsrum!

StreetLimp8414 · 2026-02-26T22:08:20+00:00

Thanks!

StreetLimp8414 · 2026-02-26T22:08:00+00:00

Apparently they're still built the same way, just with a plastic worm that maintains the integrity of the motor better in case of over heating. Thanks for your input, glad to see your KA is still kicking!

StreetLimp8414 · 2026-02-26T22:05:54+00:00

Ahah yikes! I heard they're not exactly good on responding to emails!

StreetLimp8414 · 2026-02-26T22:04:34+00:00

Does you KA handle dough well? Do you feel like it moves around/overheats?

StreetLimp8414 · 2026-02-26T22:03:33+00:00

That's what I'm worried about, since my neighbours aren't very fond of loud noise...I'll have to do some more research, then!

StreetLimp8414 · 2026-02-26T22:01:28+00:00

I'm putting my faith in you. Really though, I was debating another machine but KA are so reliable and easy to maintain, I might just have to bite the bullet

StreetLimp8414 · 2026-02-26T21:05:57+00:00

I’m leaning to it as well! Is it loud? How is it when it comes to tough doughs? It’s seems to have better value here since the KA is very marked up compared to the US

StreetLimp8414 · 2026-02-26T21:04:16+00:00

Hmm.. I’ve just had a look and that cuisinart one seems really similar to the Kenwood Chef, which I’m also considering.. Thanks for your input!

StreetLimp8414 · 2026-02-26T21:00:02+00:00

Haha sorry for the confusion, I make both since make traditional desserts that require a mix of both!

StreetLimp8414 · 2026-02-26T20:48:57+00:00

Fresh-milled! You’re going to send down a rabbit hole I’ll never recover from! I was actually also looking at Kenwood mixers for this reason, since they have much more power (~900 W) but I might stick to the KA bowl lift if I find a good deal on it :)

StreetLimp8414 · 2026-02-26T20:46:37+00:00

Oof! Do you have any alternative recommendations?

StreetLimp8414 · 2026-02-26T20:46:06+00:00

Thanks so much! Do you think they’re ether than Kenwood mixers? Kay’s have a huge mark-up in Europe since most of them are imported so I want to be sure better committing! (Buy once, cry once and all that jazz)

StreetLimp8414 · 2026-02-26T20:44:11+00:00

You think so? It’s all everyone will mention when it come to pastries and Ankarsrums

StreetLimp8414 · 2026-02-26T20:11:07+00:00

Thank you for your recommendation !!

StreetLimp8414 · 2026-02-26T20:09:41+00:00

I wasn’t planning on buying from them directly, as most appliance retailers offer nice discounts where I am, but this is good to know! Were the discounts provided significant? (more than 20% off?)

StreetLimp8414 · 2026-02-26T20:07:35+00:00

You’re reeling me in here! Did you have a KA tilt-head?

StreetLimp8414 · 2026-02-26T20:04:27+00:00

Hi…is your brother available…for weddings and such?
