Kenwood KM 286 Prospero Stand mixer (household goods)

Customer Review

I bought six months ago about this device, but not on Amazon, but at a special sales campaign of Saturn. Although this is at exactly the same device, but my food processor is white and has a little more of accessories. So it pays to look up every now and again in stores.

The device takes considerably less space than other similar food processors in the price category. Through the triangular design it fits me well in the corner of the kitchen, only when using I prefer something out in order to lift his head more easily.
The stainless steel bowl looks chic, I find the interface a little too rough, "brushed", it is however big enough and can be engaged well. Out of laziness I initially did it in the dishwasher, then realized but unfortunately that water has collected in the plastic part at the bottom of the bowl. With shaking it went out, I consider myself to not do it in the dishwasher now to the recommendation of the manufacturer.

Many have mentioned here that the head moves during stirring and kneading strong - that's true. He wobbles up and down, back and forth - but he does his job well and produces a beautiful smooth dough.

Which is true is that the machine is very noisy - I've heard quieter machines. But she just power and lasts a long time due to long, it smelled me never carbonizes or heißgelaufenem engine, although I sometimes let knead for 10-20 minutes my dough.

The machine can be operated intuitively, everything snapped a good and stable effect. Nothing stuck, nothing slips.

With this device, you have to say that this is just not a high-end product. One should not expect too much. It is expensive but you can spend much more money in food processor and get better equipment accordingly. In my extensive research in this area, I noticed that you can either spend up to 100. Then you get a device that consists entirely of plastic, less maintenance and no accessory has. Quasi a hand mixer with integrated bowl. Then there is a range between 200-300: Here you get the devices have much more power, partly made of stainless steel and have accessories. And then there are devices from 500-600: For example, Kitchen Aid, where you hinblättert so much money just for the unit, but the unit is super processed and completely made of metal. Even so Kenwood has a super high-end product.

I am a student, who loves to cook and bake. I wanted to a device that has a lot of accessories (eg, vegetable cutter, who incredibly relieved me cooking !! Or even a juicer), that is reasonably orderly and not give up the ghost after a year. It is clear to me that this device will not be the machine forever and the next will be better determined. But a beginner model with good price-performance ratio, it is all. It's loud, it acts when she kneads not quite as stable and trustworthy - but she is with me in daily use and smelled never gespinnt or burned.
So negative criticism I practice really on a high level.
Who spend only 200, but want to get a high-end product will be disappointed here. Then one should double output and look around for something else. Who can find a simple device with lots of extras and good performance enough (despite the volume and the jiggling) comes here on his / her cost.
