Kitchen Stand Mixers Machines

Since I've started baking and cooking a lot more in my new kitchen, I've decided to invest in a kitchen stand mixer. At first glance, the Kitchenaid Artisan is so retro and stylish! Plus they come a wide range of colours e.g. tangerine and boysenberry pictured below. However the price is too high for me! RM2799! And it only functions as a stand mixer.


Decided to get Kenwood instead and they have a whole range of kitchen machines to suit different needs.

Their basic & compact model for light everyday usage is the Kenwood Prospero (pictured below). Available in 3 different models : KM260, KM262 and KM264. 



The KM260 is the most basic model. It has a liquidiser attachment included. The KM262 has additional citrus juicer and food processor. The KM264 has additional mincer and centrifugal juicer. 
The retail price range is from RM1259-RM1699 at Robinson's. 

I ended up with the KM262 as Harvey Norman was having a special promo on all Kenwood kitchen machines. The KM262 is currently selling at only RM899! What a steal! I paid an extra RM89 for additional 2 years warranty on top of the 1 year warranty provided.

The specs for the KM262 :
Wattage : 700W
Weight : 5kg
Colour : White body with Silver dial.

Body material : plastic
Mixing bowl capacity : 4.3L

Tools : whisk, K-beater, dough hook
Attachments : liquidiser, food processor and citrus juicer

Comes with a free CD-ROM with 90 recipes and an introductory video.
