They are not available new on trademe as it is against the distributors rules for them to be sold here.

I have been looking lustfully at the Breville, 700w, self scraper, mixer. If anything should happen to my trusty Kenwood, that would be next on my list. Which surprises me because I've always classed Breville as cheap and cheerful and not for serious cooking jobs. Ahh. How times change. Fortunately they are sold at Briscoes and Briscoes is always having these storewide 30-50% off sales. I'd buy one then.

I have a Breville and think it's excellent.It makes a great pav among many other things,and I have been happily using it for a couple of years or so now.It's called a Whizz Mix Professional and it is a very good option for those whose budget doesn't stretch to Kenwoods or Kitchen Aids.I probably paid $300+ at the time I bought it.

I have a Breville BEM800 and love it.I did some serious research when looking to buy a new mixer and so pleased I went with the Breville.The scraper beater makes easy work of creaming butter and sugar and it's reasonably quiet too.
The older Kenwoods are great, however, th newer ones are not a patch on the trusty old ones.

That is good to know. I wish I could destroy my Kenwood now so that I can get one of those - **gulp**. I'm not even a gadget freak and have hardly any gadgets and use even less than I own!!

Bide your time and buy an old Kenwood! Nothing will compare,least of all the new ones! A few years ago used to be like hen's teeth to buy but many now being listed. Click your area and get notified of new listings! Many don't want to ship! I have 2, one a standby, both over 40 years old and I promise nothing compares!! Sorry! Many things over 10 years old are still going as good as new!!

Yep, older Kenwood models are the way to go.My Kenwood is well over 40 years old and it works as well today as it did when it was new. I broke the kenlite bowl some years ago and replaced it with a SS one which is great.
