First I have heard of it! They are American made and they cnnot be faulted. Would like to know where you heard the "bad rap" lol There are no cheap parts in the motors and whoever told you that is uninformed.

There are lots of reviews re faulty motors on amazon.com, thats probably the cheapest place to buy the mixers. They vary in price from approx $270-$350.

NZ Consumer Institute rated food mixers about a year ago.They recommended both the big Kenwood and the KitchenAid, but noted that the Kenwood was cheaper and quieter.

The Kenwood, at the revs would certainly not be quieter.know plenty of people who reckon theirs sounds like it's going to jump off the bench. I also find it interesting in regards to the leaking oil! Never seen or heard of that here and there are no plastic parts. Why dont you contact the NZ distributors of the machine here in NZ to get the correct facts and then that way, you can make up your own mind. I have a Kitchenaid stand mixer myself and wouldnt be without it.

slighty off Topic, cookessentials, but do you have any experience or advice on Electric Pasta Extruders like the Ronco !
Thanks, has anyone any more tips on which mixer, good or bad experience.

All depends on whether you want a gear driven machine or a belt driven. Personally, I prefer the gear driven. Iprefer a more thorough mix (( 67 points of the bowl as opposed to about 11 for the belt driven Kenwood)
