We had exactly 10 years a Krups 350 watts, which was a real beast of burden: even tough dough (dough with 1 kg flour) he has kneaded easily. So it should be a Krups again. The disappointment was very great: this new mixer with 400W has done very hard with a yeast dough from 500 g flour and has remained nearly stationary. He then turned very slowly, which made the kneading very tedious. In addition, the cable is very short: why saving the manufacturer as to 20 or 30 cm cable ?? That can play no part in the sale price ?! Result: the customer is dissatisfied. The price of about 63 euros for this service is completely coated. We now have a blender with 450 W and 20 cm long cable for 34 euros procured, which makes the dough as it should be. We have sent the Krups machine to Amazon.
