Kenwood Chef anyone ?
Does anyone have a Kenwood Chef and are you pleased with it?I have only ever had a hand mixer and as I bake a lot and make my own bread I would love a food mixer
.I have been looking at the Kenwood Chef Premier KMC560 which has a 1000w motor, there is a version with a smaller 800w motor but I fear it may not cope so well with the bread dough. The next one up the 1400w is a bit too pricey for me.
I am always hesitant when buying anything new and ask 'do I really need it' but I think this may be a very useful item to have.

Hi Meg I have a Kenwood Chef mixer and it's been brilliant. It must be coming up for its 23rd year now. It doesn't get used that regularly though. Had a quick look underneath and its a 500W. Not sure about the bread making as we have a Kenwood breadmaker for that 
I have been very pleased with the Kenwood appliances we've had over the years.......we even had a Kenwood stereo system which lasted for years.

I have a very basic kenwood mixer which must be about 35 years old now
but it does still work. I have looked at getting the chef but they are soooo expensive 
Maybe one day. I also have a kenwood blender which works well. I would always buy kenwood appliances as they are good but certainly not the cheapest.

I bought my Krupps machine from Lakeland, brilliant place to buy from as they are so good with after care.The machine is not 100% perfect but it does make good dough, cake mixes, and beats a good meringuel.
The good thing is that you can weigh your ingredients straight into the bowl and there is also a timer so that you can time the process you need.
It is quite a nice looking item and was much less than the Kenwood or KitchenAid which I would have preferred.

Kenwoods certainly seem to have a long life Mine would get a lot of use, I cook all the time bread twice a week usually and that is set to increase as my son has asked that I supply his growing family too

We used to have one which never gave us problems, we had every gadget under the sun until we decided to re-cycle them, now we are using what we were born with as we have no need to break the sound barrier rushing here and there to try to save a few minutes each day.Get one as the only person who can really say it is right for you is yourself.
