Best Kenwood Food Mixers

Bought 2 years ago exactly from Harvey Norman to replace the large Silver Kenwood, (best mixer I have ever owned) fancy unit as it was too heavy for… Read more

me to remove from the cupboard. I kept all accessories that could be utilised with this one however I mostly make cakes, pastry, cheesecakes, puddings and some fancy breads. To date for the above it has worked as expected. Yesterday I cracked 5 eggs into the bowl then added 1 1/2 cups caster sugar and set the knob on 3 expecting the machine to beat the ingredients into a thick creamish mixture. As I have made this recipe, family one, for the last 65 years, yes I am ancient, I left the machine on the kitchen counter and imagine my surpise when it simply turned itself off after 5 minutes. I immediately thought ooppss! has it overheated? Nope the machine was still cold as a ..... ..... ... Checked that everything was attached and that it was not vibrating and yes and no. Waited 20 mins and turned to 3 again and it lasted 5 mins again. I am unable to do without a mixer ergo, what to do? shame as the weight, bowl size and attachments are great Is this normal? Has anyone else had this problem? I have the receipt from Harvey Norman and will try to get a better copy of the it as it has faded and is not copying properly

Only runs for 3 years – After 4years, Oil leakage from the machine and weird noice! It has 5yr warranty and we went to the store from where we bought. And they took it back… Read more

for repair and said they will return it in 6 weeks. Alert: 5yr warranty only for repair not for replacement with the new one! It's crap and trap!!

Other thing it has a plastic cover which is very delicate, always need to handle with care.

Not recommended

Really disappointing – I have had this Kenwood Chef XL Sense for 6 months. On first use the top moved very slightly but the the machine worked well and was quiet. I did… Read more

not worry, but thought it slightly unusual. I have probably made around 20 loaves of bread with it, a few cakes and a Pavlova. In the last couple of months I noted that it was sounding squeaky and mixing seemed a bit of an effort at speed. It is now with Prestige Repairs Adelaide. Apparently what I described was not normal and replacements parts for it have been ordered! For a hardly used new machine, costing $529, to say that I am disappointed is an understatement. My first Kenwood lasted 20 years, the 2nd hand was virtually new and lasted 20 years, the third 2nd hand, 7 years. I treated myself to a brand new one this time. I am now without a mixer, awaiting a part and I am truly miffed. I feel that I have been sold a dud and that the Kenwood quality has slipped.

I would really like a machine to use while this is brand new machine is awaiting parts and this could be no time soon.

Machine is sturdy. I found following instructions difficult. Very heavy and won’t fit into cabinets. Perhaps not the best for elderly users. Show details

Very poor quality as glass bowl keeps getting stuck. Kenwood need to resolve this design issue fast. Too many complaints about the bowl getting stuck… Read more

on an expensive piece of equipment. What is it good for ? Going straight in the refuse bin in my opinion. I'm a very angry customer.

Kenwood cooking chef mixer review: Don't buy it – ⭐️ (1/5) I bought the Kenwood Cooking Chef Mixer because I trust the Kenwood brand, and since this was their most expensive model, I thought it… Read more

would be the best. I was wrong.

From the start, the machine kept showing the E22 error, asking me to turn it off and on again. This happened repeatedly, wasting my time and ruining my food. I contacted customer service, and they told me to take it to the service center. After four weeks, they replaced parts, but the problem continued.

I requested a refund, but they refused, asking me to bring it back for another inspection. I even tested it in front of them with food, and they saw the error happen multiple times. I also emailed the company, attaching videos as proof of the malfunction, but despite this, their customer service completely ignored my emails and failed to respond.

Customer service not only refused to acknowledge the problem but also insisted the machine was in "perfect condition" and advised me to take it home. This is unacceptable.

Avoid this product! It’s a waste of money, and the customer service is terrible.

I read Sherry Cook's review and I had exactly the same experience. The machine is powerful enough to do the job but the speed controller is a… Read more

terrible design. How this got through from the design phase to the production phase and testing is a joke. The pulse section is next to the off section and is EASILY hit causing your contents to coat the kitchen. I would NOT buy this poorly designed mixer.
