Product Information

Most mixers come with few accessories, beyond the basics, in the box, but the AEG UltraMix KM5540-U is different, as it comes with everything you could possibly need including two bowls (large and small), beaters, dough hook and whisk.

Perfect results: extremely powerful 1.000 watt motor - even suitable for very heavy doughs, large amounts and blending. There’s a 3-litre bowl provided with this mixer, which is good enough for your average cake and smaller amounts of liquid and eggs. It’s a nice deep bowl, too, which is great for handheld mixers. Cleverly, the bowl rotates in use to give even mixing; stand mixers have orbitary mixer heads that move around the bowl. Weighing 1.04kg, the hand mixer is a little on the heavy side but it’s sturdy and powerful. Besides, as you can clip the hand part onto the stand and use the mixer over the 3-litre bowl, you’ll probably find that you mostly use this product in stand mode. All of the controls are located in the hand mixer’s handle, giving you five speeds plus a pulse. How big does your stand mixer need to be? Size is important as you need to find somewhere to store your new mixer, and the largest models can be huge, requiring a lot of cupboard space. Base your decision not only on your kitchen size but on how often you use your mixer, and how many you’re baking for. Traditional stand mixers will have a bowl around 5-litres in size, which lets you make big cakes and cope with larger dishes. This size is great for regular users. If you’re cooking smaller amounts or for fewer people, you can probably get buy with a smaller mixer, with a bowl around 3-litres in size. While it offers plenty of features, its primary role as a stand mixer hasn’t been overlooked. Each tool – beating whisk, kneading hook with dough deflector, flexi-stirring whisk – slots in at an angle, allowing it to mix with a planetary motion around the tall bowl. The bowl itself has enough capacity for up to 2kg of dough, and includes a plastic splashguard that slides into place.

Bosch MUM59340GB Kitchen Machine Stand Mixer Review

Think of a stand mixer, and the KitchenAid Artisan 4.8L Stand Mixer will probably be the model that pops into your head. There’s a good reason for this: as well as being gorgeous and available in a huge range of colours, this mixer is also one of the best. Although other mixers may have higher-power motors, the 300W motor here is excellent for speed and efficiency, whisking, whipping and kneading stealthily and silently. Want more? On the front, an attachment hub can power optional accessories, such as meat grinders, pasta rollers and cutters, so its capabilities are easily expanded. All of this means that you need space to place all of your accessories, but that’s not always a bad problem to have.

This is a particularly mess-conscious machine, with a slow-start function to each of its 10 speed settings that ensures you don’t end up looking like a floury snowman the minute you switch it on. Mixer type: Stand and hand mixer | Size: 270 x 345 x 390mm, 1.04kg | Controls: 5 speeds and pulse | Motor power: 350W | Accessories included: 3-litre bowl, two beaters, two dough hooks The Pros: Do you need a glass bowl or steel bowl? Glass bowls look great and help you see the mixture more clearly as you use the mixer. However, glass bowls don’t tend to be as good when it comes to whipping eggs. A steel bowl is generally hardier, and gives you better results when mixing eggs, although you have to peer over the top of the bowl to see what’s going on. In short, the majority of your food prep is covered by this one machine, and there’s even a storage bag for the tools. Wow. Bosch MUM59340GB Kitchen Machine Stand Mixer – Design and features

It’s nice to see a lid, too, which can cover either bowl for proving dough or covering mixtures. It’s a neat eco touch and will save on using single-use plastic wrap. If you know what you want, then skip down to our list. Otherwise, it’s important to get the right product for your needs, spending the right amount of money. Some of the questions you should ask yourself before buying are.

Building on the success of the company’s first mixer, the SMF01, the Smeg SMF02 is a refined version. As we’ve come to expect from Smeg, the SMF02 is gorgeous with its 50s design and choice of colours, and it blends in seamlessly with other products in the range. Dare we say it, but the SMF02 is even more attractive than the KitchenAid Artisan. The best stand mixer for flexibility is the Kenwood by Mary berry Special Edition Hand Mixer HM680CR Specifications: What’s more, the machine is strong and sturdy at handling powerful speeds without the odd wobble on the worktop. The 800W motor is controlled via the power control on top, although our minor complaint here is that this is a little hard to read clearly. In the box, you get the three common tools: paddle, whisk and dough hook. We found that the SMF02 did well with dough and cake mixture, but the whisk didn’t quite get to the sides for all mixtures and needed a bit of scraping down and, for some recipes, a little more liquid to be added. In the box, you get beaters and dough hooks, but no whisk. You can use the beaters for whisking egg whites and cream, although this takes longer than using a regular whisk. Mixing dough and cake mixture was easier, although you may need to scrape the side of the bowl down to combine everything.
