I think one advantage with Kenwood is that it would be a little less bulky. IIRC, mixer expert Kelly liked the Kenwoods.
Today's KitchenAids are louder than the old Hobart-made ones, and you would maybe want to buy yourself an after-market flat beater blade with integrated bowl scraper. I feel the tilt-head models are easier to use, but that's just my preference. |

A bunch of both, I have a Kenwood from the 50s several from the 60s 70s and 80s and all but two or 3 of every Kitchen Aid made from 1919 thru 1980 They are all good, the Kenwoods are somewhat more powerful I think. |

I have a Chef from 2006 which is fine, very much the same as the old models and like them all very noisy. Works fine though. Kitchenaids come in a wide variety of colours which I like although they have not got a Which Best Buy but that may because they are rather more expensive than the competition. The Which top 5 are: Sage The Bakery Boss BEM825BALUK 82% Kenwood kMix KMX754WH 82% - this does better than the "traditional" Chef Bosch MUM9G32S00 OptiMUM Kitchen Machine 74% Kenwood Chef XL 73% - This is teh latest iteration of the traditional Chef Cuisinart Precision Stand Mixer SM50U 73% I see John Lewis have a couple of Kenwood mixers in their Easter sale and, if you can wait a couple of months, the July sale is not that far off and they may have individual machines on sale in store. If you want to stick with vintage, if you keep your eyes on ebay the occassional NIB Chef also comes up, hard to believe as that is that someone would spend so much money on a mixer and not use it. There are loads of new kMix on ebay too, including a slightly used one on the link which looks like good value Al CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacbear58's LINK on eBay |
