I was torn between a Kitchen Aid and the Breville mixer. After much debate, I decided on the Breville because the cord can be tucked into the stand. The performance is great and it looks great sitting out in my kitchen.

I love this product, the scraper blade really does what it says and I have noticed a huge difference in the lightness of my cakes. No negatives at all, it is worth every penny and the recipes from Heston's book on the website are impressive as well. I really am delighted with my purchase.

Worst appliance ever owned. Gear box failed after only 4 1/2 years. Price to fix $285 (throught it away). Sadly ironically gave my 30year old Kenwood away when I bought this. My friend has a good reliable mixer and I have junk.

Like the esppresso machine I bought, it failed after less than five years (gear box). I paid premium price for junk. Ironically I gave away my 30+ year old Kenwood mixer and 15 year old espresso. I now have to go to my friends for a espresso and cake.

Hi. Only mix between 600g of dough, 800g if you like to take a risk or you will burn out the motor. And if you buy one before the 25.12.14 you can get a free "Sage's Multi Cooker - BRC600UK" John.

"some of the instructions were not in the book and we had to ring up to ask for guidance. It came two days later and was helpful. How much rich cake mixture is a safe load?I have a wedding cake to make.plus several Christmas cakes."

Additional attachments are not available for purchase with this kitchen mixer

I purchased this product to replace a Kenwood Prospero which had proved totally un satisfactory.The build quality of the Sage mixer is very good, the quality of the attachments are excellent, not flimsy like the Prospero.

It's easy to use and mixes great! It's not too heavy. I love the cord that hides away. I've had it up on the whip speed and my mixer didn't move at all. I've made heavy cookie dough and it does a great job. I would definitely recommend this mixer.

I'm so happy with this mixer, so nice to use and the quality of the product is so good,very quite Very happy
