There are plenty of people who will tell you that Kenwood makes better stand mixers than . It’s a controversial opinion and one that we debate within the kitchen team often, but the Kenwood kMix stand mixer is one of the best examples of Kenwood’s baking brilliance. Undoubtedly, Kenwood's range of models are some of the on the market.
They’re easy to use, neatly designed, and they come with thoughtful extras. The kMix, for example, has a soft bounce head, so it never throws all of its weight too far backward or forwards. I put the Kenwood kMix to the test, using it to mix cake batters, beat frosting, whip cream, and knead bread dough.
I’ve tested some of the best stand mixers on the market, so the bar was set high, but I think the Kenwood is a competitive model. As is the case with most stand mixers, this comes in a big box with lots of packaging, some of it is recyclable, but there’s also plenty of polystyrene that will need to go in your garbage. Once I had it all unboxed and stood on the countertop, the stand mixer looked slick.
This is available in a range of different colors, which are designed to suit a range of households. I have my eye on the cream colorway, or the baby blue, but they're all beautiful. Each stand mixer comes with a K beater, whisk, dough hook, scraper, and splash guard, which is everything you’ll need to make the most of your stand mixer.
They all have a good weight to them. Not so much that they feel like you’re in the gym when you’re.
