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.

It has performed well with everything I have made,it was so quick to get air into the egg whites for pavlova to what I had grown used...

This mixer has a sleek design – the brushed stainless steel finish hardly shows streaks and fingerprints, so it is easy to clean; If you want an affordable, stylish mixer that works effectively, this model is worth considering.

The whisks were slightly tricky to insert; When we made the pastry some flour splattered out of the bowl at the start and the pastry didn't come together very nicely, so we had to form a dough by hand
