Kenwood KMC570 Chef Premier Stand Mixer - Silver

I have wanted one of these for ages and when it popped up at a very attractive price I couldn't resist. I did consider the Kmix but although I liked the styling I really wanted to have the flexi-beater and, as far as I can tell, there isn't (yet?) a flexi-beater for the Kmix. I also thought about the Kitchenaid but I have heard of some issues regarding reliability and, much though I love the look, I couldn't justify paying £150 more for something that would do the job no better just because of the lovely colours. In truth, having now got the Chef out on my work surface I think I prefer its more unobtrusive looks and it seems smaller than I was expecting, albeit still a bulky item. I have only had the machine for about a week but I have already put it to extensive use and used all the standard attachments. The kit includes a decent recipe book (although a noddy guide for newbies would have been a welcome addition) from which I cooked some soufflés and a rather lovely tiramisu gateau. I have also used the machine to make bread. Needless to say the Chef did its work efficiently. If, like me, you are used to only a hand mixer then you need to take care initially to avoid over-beating, etc.. The machine is a solid piece of kit which would be best left out on a worktop. That said, it is lighter than my Magimix which weighs a ton so if I had to put one of the two in a cupboard, it would be the Chef. I did need to adjust the whisk and K beaters to ensure that they picked up all the ingredients on the bottom of the bowl. There is a spanner for this - initially I couldn't find this but it is in the bubble pack that contains the flexi-beater. Making the adjustments was easy. The dough hook is apparently properly set at the factory and should need no adjustment. The blender is a hefty piece of glass. Unlike my old blender the whole thing comes apart so that cleaning the sharp blades is easy and safe. I noticed one reviewer mentioned having problems removing the mixing bowl. I haven't come up against that but I have real trouble separating the various elements of the blender. They fit together tightly to avoid any issues with leakage, the blender unit attaches to and comes away from the slot on the Chef without any difficulty but I had to get my husband to twist the base off to dismantle it for cleaning. I guess that it needs to fit together securely to prevent leaks (and there weren't any). I noticed one review saying that the splashguard did not fit properly. I can only assume this is an irregularity as my splashguard fits perfectly and stops any flour etc escaping. There are a couple of DVDs included, one with recipes, the other an introduction and in effect an extended advert for the accessories which you can buy (there are lots of these). There are one or two that I will probably get but as I already have a Magimix there would be no point in getting others. Each of these machines has its advantages and disadvantages and is better at certain tasks. For example, the Kenwood is much better at whisking than the Magimix whilst there is little difference between the blender and the Magimix, indeed the heavy glass jug of the Chef is better I think for crushing ice. The one thing I would like is a storage system for the beaters, etc.. I have put them all in a basket so I don't lose any bits but that will be a pain if I get some of the attachments. One of the things I am interested in is the pasta maker and there are a raft of expensive bronze dies to produce different shapes which would be easy to mislay. All in all, I am delighted and I know I will be baking much more frequently now.

Well, I've always wanted a KitchenAid but could not justify the price tag then I thought of buying a bread maker which after some thought I figured out that the novelty would wear off and I'd have another dust collect. All I was after was a machine that could knead bread and perhaps do something else, not asking for much or was I? Well upon my search of the perfect machine I came across this Kenwood but on a different site, oh I thought this bad boy looks posh and professional. Comes with loads of attachments ie: icecream maker, meat press ,dice, slicer and much to my disappointment a juicer (I spent 150.00 on a juicer) but yet again I sighed whilst looking at the price Fast forward a couple of days and Amazon was having this "Prime Day" There I was searching on the deals on offer and Shock Horror! There it was...The Kenwood that one can only dream of owning but this was at a lovely price. I'll have that beauty I said to my self . I couldn't wait for the next day delivery to test out my Prime membership and my new toy. Upon opening this huge box I unearth the beauty. I'm so impressed with this machine, all the attachments are standard but the mixer bowl and blender make up for that. Grand construction, stainless steel bowl, thermo pitcher (very heavy) and feels professional. I've used all the attachments, made bread, cake mixes ,and whipped cream. I'm very impressed with this so much that I've forgotten all about the Kitchenaid... this is a grand price for this machine and if you do your research you'll fine that it retails for £429.00 on Kenwood.com and £230.00 in Currys. You won't be disappointed if you're looking for a professional machine at an affordable price. Now I'm looking to invest in the meat grinder I'm not thinking about the juicer attachment as I already have one camped out on the counter but I think I'll try the blender and see how it crushes ice for a margarita whilst drooling over 22 attachments.

A really lovely machine that works well. However, the splash guard is a waste of time as it is flimsy and drops off due to the one slider that holds it in place. The pan is stainless steel and looks good but is difficult to turn to take off the machine if you have mobility problems as I have . A handle or rim of some sort to grip so as to be able to better grasp and turn. The final reason in have given the product 4vstars is that when using the kids beater you have to keep stopping the machine to remove mixes from the sides which it fails to mix . In all a tidy machine and the mixer that scrapes the sides is brill but just could be refined further.

I've been waiting for years to buy one of these. It does lovely mixing and all that, but there is no way I can have a conversation with anyone else in the kitchen while this machine is on. It is extremely noisy!! Am quietly a bit disappointed...

We had such high hopes.... Bought this machine a bit less than 2 years ago and apart from the standard attachments we also got the mincer attachment and the mini chopper attachment. This machine has seen a fair bit of use - at least 6 times a month, and sometimes up to 15 times a month - making smoothies, mixing bread dough and case mixtures, grinding meat, chopping nuts, etc. We've always been careful with all the appliances we bought - we try to buy good quality appliances, not minding to pay a bit more, and trusting that it will last a decent amount of time if we look after it. Unfortunately the Kenwood KMC570 did not live up to its reputation and our expectations. If I had to give a review for this product a year ago it would have been 5 stars but after using it a twice the past 2 weeks it unfortunately does not even deserve a single star. The machine cuts out if you use it for a couple of minutes (and we are talking a light sponge mixture) and today it started making an awful grinding noise. This is NOT what you would expect from a premium quality machine which supposedly prides itself on its heritage. It's clear that this machine was designed and build with a limited lifespan in mind. If you after a nice look machine that you don't expect to use for longer than a year, or possibly only use once or twice a month, then by all means, go for the KMC570. When it's working its great. However, if you are looking for something a bit more robust, something that might last longer than 2 years then I would suggest looking elsewhere. Kenwood kitchen mixers are NOT what they supposed to be.

I bought this mixer after having a Kenwood Chef A901 for 20 years when my children were growing up and it was a wonderful machine. The KMC570 is flimsy , no guts in it if you know what I mean . The beater , whisk even the steel bowl are all lightweight , no body about them , don't think this one will last 20 years . You think you are buying a British built product then on arrival there it is made in China ! printed on the box . Kenwood had an offer on of a free glass mixing bowl , I bought this mixer on the 29th Nov 2013 it's now 7th Jan even with emails to the customer services team I am still waiting for the bowl to arrive Most defiantly things ain't what they used to be

I bought this after a lot of research. I remember my mother making cakes and using a Kenwood mixer 30 years ago, so this seemed like a good purchase. I also read so many bad reviews about a competing brand that I finally settled on this model. I was not disappointed. Firstly, the mixer is well built, everything looks solid, feels solid and all the bowls and attachements go in the dishwasher, a must in the 21st century. I have used it extensively and all the attachements are brilliant. Secondly, the motor works well at low and high speeds, I have made bread, brioche, and buns, it copes well with rich doughs; at higher speeds, meringues, creme chantilly, iles flotantes, cake batter are all effortless. The only extra I got was a second mixing bowl , so I could beat the egg whites separately (I strongly recommend any serious cook to get a spare bowl, it makes life easier, and saves you from pouring the mixture into a separate bowl, washing up and then beating the egg whites). Thirdly, it looks very good and I have decided to leave it on the worktop, rather than move it around all the time. As it is quite heavy, as you would expect for a serious mixer, it saves on manual handling!

I have been waiting to purchase this mixer for a while, when Amazon dropped it to £199.99 recently I had to snap it up quickly. This machine has a 1000w motor, if you do a lot of dough and pastry mixing, then I would go for this model series. Made a full 1.5kg bread dough mix using strong white flour in one go, the mixing action was excellent and the dough mixed within 3 minutes to the perfect consistency. The machine isn't that noisy, personally it’s what I expected. A really good set of attachments/extras are included in the box, including a creamer beater, plastic spatula with a bonus hardback recipe book. This model also comes with the thermo-resistant glass blender jug, excellent for soups, milkshakes, smoothies etc.. The build quality is excellent, what I would expect from Kenwood, The mixer is so easy to use and clean. If you want to make the most of this machine then there is a plethora of attachments available to buy, including a mincer, pasta maker. I hope this machine will last as long as the one my gran bought over 30 years ago. Ready, steady, BAKE!

Il est vrai que je rêvais d'un KA. Néanmoins, vu le prix de celui-ci, le blender intégré et les nombreux commentaires positifs, je me suis résignée à penser que celui-ci serait le choix de la raison. Je ne regrette vraiment pas mon achat! Il pétri à merveille et est loin d'être si bruyant que ce à quoi je m'attendais. Très facile à prendre en main et après quelques réglages simples, tout est parfaitement mélangé à condition d’adapter la vitesse à la préparation. Je recommande chaleureusement.

Mi sono fidato del marchio, della fama in fatto di planetarie e delle recensioni lette qua e la sul web. E ho fatto bene! Il prodotto si presenta molto ben fatto, estremamente robusto perchè quasi completamente in acciaio. Ciònonostante, la sua presenza sul piano di lavoro in cucina non è affatto aggressiva. E' potente (1100W) ma rumoroso, anche parecchio (come ritengo normale che sia per una macchina del genere), per cui se avete nelle vicinanze persone con il sonno leggero, è meglio rinviare le operazioni ad orari più consoni. Ovviamente la rumorosità aumenta in proporzione alla velocità di esercizio che, attenzione!, per quelli alle prime armi come me, NON deve essere sempre e comunque al massimo. Quindi è bene leggere prima e attentamente le modalità di utilizzo a seconda di ciò che si vuole preparare. Fra l'altro, il libretto di istruzioni (in italiano) è davvero alla portata di tutti, me compreso! La dotazione comprende tre tipi di accessori per gli impasti (solidi, liquidi e cremosi), la spatola in silicone e, a parte, viene spedito anche un grazioso libro di ricette. Gli accessori sono di tipo calibrabile, ossia è possibile aumentare o ridurre la loro altezza iin base alla profondità del secchiello. Tuttavia, sono già tarati dalla fabbrica, quindi consiglierei di lasciarli come si trovano. Ultimo, ma non ultimo, il rapporto qualità/prezzo davvero molto elevato. In negozio non lo si trova a meno di 400 €. Sono molto soddisfatto. Lo consiglio vivamente.

La uso casi diariamente y es fantástica, sin duda no gastéis en dinero en batidoras mas baratas porque os van a durar muy poco, lo se por experiencia, y Kenwood es muy buena marca. fiable, la verdad si se me estropeara volvería a comprarla.

Die Kenwood gehört seit Anfang November 2016 zu unserer Küchenausstattung und sammelt seitdem fleißig Pluspunkte. Die Sendung bestand aus der KMC570 mit 1.000 W in Silber mit Edelstahl-Schüssel, Schneebesen, K-Haken, Knethaken inkl. Justierwerkzeug, Mixaufsatz, Flex-Schaber und Kochbuch. Die Lieferzeit betrug ca. eine Woche. Das Gerät war originalverpackt und hätte den obligatorischen Sturz aus ein Meter Höhe wohl klaglos überstanden. Wir (3-Personenhaushalt mit zwei backwütigen Frauen und regelmäßigen Kochabenden für Freunde und Bekannte) nutzen die Maschine intensiv vor allem für verschiedenste Teige, zum Rühren und Kneten von Brei- und Fleischmassen und den Mixaufsatz für Smoothies/Fruchtpürees und zum Mixen/Pürieren von Suppen. Die drei mitgelieferten Rührwerkzeuge konnten bisher jede Aufgabe lösen. Sie lassen sich leicht reinigen und durch die Gewindeachse sehr feinfühlig justieren. Der Schneebesen war ab Werk eher konservativ eingestellt. Nachdem wir ihn so justiert hatten, dass er haarscharf über dem Schüsselboden arbeitet, lässt sich selbst aus einem einzelnen Eiweiß stichfester Eischnee schlagen. Beim Kneten ist es bisher noch nicht vorgekommen, dass der Teig am Haken nach oben gewandert ist, sonder immer als Masse in der Schüssel umgewälzt wurde. Die Ergebnisse bei Hefeteigen waren alle locker und luftig und besser als alles, was wir bisher mit anderen Maschinen oder mit dem Handrührgerät zustande gebracht haben. Das Flexi-Rührelement haben wir (noch) nicht angeschafft, deshalb gibt es dazu noch keine Aussagen. Der Mixaufsatz ist sehr massiv und lässt sich einfach montieren, demontieren und reinigen. Die Dichtung macht einen langlebigen Eindruck, wir reinigen die Kunststoffteile des Aufsatzes mit heißem Wasser, der Glasbehälter passt problemlos in den Geschirrspüler. Die 1,6 Liter, die das Glasteil regulär aufnimmt, haben bisher stets gereicht. Auch bissfest gekochtes Gemüse und feste Gewürzzugaben (Kümmel, Piment) werden effektiv zerkleinert. Stabilität, Leistung und Kraftübertragung erscheinen uns für den intensiven Heimgebrauch absolut ausreichend. Das Metallgehäuse vibriert nur minimal. Auch bei schwerem Stollenteig (mit 800 g Mehl) konnten wir nicht feststellen, dass die Maschine an ihre Leistungsgrenze gelangt. Zur Lautstärke ist zu sagen, dass die Maschine im Neuzustand in etwa den gleichen Geräuschpegel hatte wie die (kleineren) Küchenmaschinen, die wir früher in Benutzung hatten (Bosch, Moulinex). Inzwischen hat sich der Geräuschpegel sogar noch verringert, vermutlich hat sich das Schmierfett inzwischen gleichmäßig im Antrieb verteilt. Die Konstruktion der Maschine wirkt sehr durchdacht. Der Schwenkarm kippt so weit nach hinten, dass das Zufüllen problemlos gelingt, und der Fuß ist so schwer, dass dabei selbst bei aufgesetztem (natürlich leeren!) Mixaufsatz kein Kippmoment entsteht. Der Öffnungsmechanismus lässt den Schwenkarm nicht einfach schwungvoll nach hinten klappen, sondern hebt den Arm nur etwa zur Hälfte an - hier hat jemand wirklich nachgedacht. Die Maschine verschmutzt auch bei Verwendung feinpudriger Zutaten nur minimal und ist leicht zu reinigen. Durch den Softanlauf lassen sich Mehlwolken und Flüssigkeitsspritzer beim Einschalten sicher vermeiden. Die Drehzahlen sind durch den großen Regelbereich sehr gut dosierbar. Einzig die Kunststoffabdeckung der Rührschüssel wirkt improvisiert. Sie lässt sich nicht wirkungsvoll arretieren und macht einen sehr fragilen Eindruck. Wir haben allerdings mit diesem Zubehör noch keine schlechten Erfahrungen,einfach weil wir es bisher noch nicht benutzen mussten. Die Maschine hat bei uns einen festen Standplatz auf der Arbeitsplatte, für ständiges Her- und Wegräumen ist sie definitiv zu groß, zu schwer und nicht handlich genug. Interessenten mit eingeschränktem Platzangebot sollten dies bei ihrer Entscheidung unbedingt berücksichtigen. Auch die recht geringe Länge des Anschlusskabels (ca. 90 cm) könnte im Einzelfall Probleme bereiten. Die Edelstahlschüssel ist naturgemäß stabil und gut zu reinigen. Die Form ist für die verwendeten Werkzeuge optimiert, der Rand ist ausreichend glatt poliert, um Tropfnasen zu verhindern. Im Inneren des am Boden angebrachten Arretierungsrings sammeln sich Rückstände bzw. Spülwasser - hier sollte man gelegentlich prüfen, ob wirklich alles sauber ist. Die Schüssel wäre perfekt mit einem Haltegriff, aber dieses Feature ist wohl aus marketingtechnischen Gründen den höherpreisigen Geräten vorbehalten. Man kann eine solche Schüssel aber nachkaufen, ebenso eine billigere Ausführung aus Kunststoff. Der beigelegte flexible Schaber ist nett gemeint, zeigte aber schon nach einem Monat erste Auflösungserscheinungen. Die Bedienungsanleitung ist gut verständlich und erklärt genau die Handgriffe, die sich möglicherweise nicht sofort intuitiv erschließen. Wirklich sehr zu loben ist das Rezeptbuch Rezeptbuch für die KENWOOD CHEF. 70 Original-Rezepte mit Rezepten von Nico Ghirlando. Es ist bei weitem keine einfach eine Marketing-Beilage, sondern ein absolut hochwertiges Kochbuch mit super Rezepten und - für den Begleitartikel einer Küchenmaschine - geradezu bibliophiler Anmutung. Fazit nach ca. zwei Monaten: Frau K ist ein vollwertiges Familienmitglied geworden und macht bisher einen super Job. Demnächst werden wir eine zweite Schüssel nachrüsten, damit sich das bei vielen Kuchenrezepten erforderliche Umfüllen erübrigt. Wir werden sehen, wie sich unsere Erfahrungen mit der Kenwood langfristig entwickeln und den Bericht ggf. ergänzen.

Je suis très contente de mon achat. J'ai d'abord eu un prospero ... J'en était déjà contente mais le chef est plus robuste. Mon premier prospero m'a lâché après peu de temps, j'ai voulu mettre trop de soupe dans le blender, la pression à fait tout péter et la soupe est rentrée dans l'appareil. J'ai fait rentrer le robot dans un magasin près de chez moi et il n'est pas revenu, il était irrécupérable. Kenwood m'a fait un prix plus intéressant mais j'ai dû en racheter un quand même :-/ Ce dernier a rendu l'âme dernièrement, après +/- 2 ans de bons et loyaux services. Peu de temps pour ce prix me direz vous ... Je le pense aussi. C'est pour cette raison que j'ai opté pour la gamme au dessus, étant donné que je pâtisse beaucoup et que ce ne sont que des doses familiales (4), je ne pense pas que j'aurais eu besoin de la version major. Je suis très contente de mon achat jusqu'ici on sent bien la différence de produit ... Il est solide. Il est équipé de caoutchouc sous la cuve ce qui le fait moins trembler que le prospero. Il a un couvercle fermé sur tout le contour, ce qui n'est pas négligeable. Le blender en verre est beaucoup plus résistant ... Le crochet, le fouet et le k sont d'une qualité bien épaisse ... Avec une protection pour le robot. J'ai opté pour 2 ustensiles en plus, le presse agrumes AT 312, aucun regret, il est super ! Et j'ai aussi pris la râpe à 7 disques AT 340, qui est particulièrement pratique vu qu'elle ne s'adapte pas sur un bol en particulier, il suffit de mettre n'importe quel bol en dessous et c'est bon, ce qui permet de passer d'un légume à l'autre juste en changeant le plat. Je compte investir bientôt dans une machine à pâtes et des minis mixers. La différence de prix entre le prospero et le chef vaut la peine d'être réfléchie ... En effet, le prospero est vendu avec tous les ustensiles ... Mais est-que nous utilisons tout le temps le hachoir par exemple ? Perso, je ne l'ai jamais utilisé ... Donc si c'était à refaire, je passerais au chef tout de suite ! Pour amazon, tjs rien à redire, service impeccable, rapidité et suivi super, Je suis conquise !
