What distinguishes this machine: thanks to the heavy-metal housing (most offered machines are made of hard plastic and therefore relatively easy) absolutely stable, even when kneading bread dough one. Direct drive (without gearbox), so in contrast to the current all-purpose machine -we had a new Kenwood and Bosch (winner!) Ausprobiert- unrivaled quiet. Even with our 20-year-old Brown, the agitator produced a scarcely tolerable noise. The direct drive also has the advantage that the 250-watt motor is completely sufficient. The manufacturing quality makes an excellent impression, probably a lifetime investment! We had tried a Kenwood Allzeckmaschine and abandoned after the second attempt with a substitute supplied machine. Construction or manufacturing error: switch for "food processor" too deeply installed. In contrast to Bosch the ingredients for a cake mixture are stirred without a spatula without sticking at the top of the bowl. The additionally purchased Raffler does what he promises. Résumé: Quality has its price. For the machine while there are not many accessories as with other manufacturers, but it is absolutely reliable as stirring and kneading machine, enormously stable and extremely quiet, powerful aberKitchenaid 5K45SSEWH food processor White fuel economy. The relatively high price is therefore acceptable. We can recommend the machine fully.
