my 30 year old kenwood has had it - only has one speed now ( really fast) and leaves metal shavings on my bench. Was going to get a new one - but after reading this not so sure. My kenwood can not be fixed.:-(

The guy at Henderson Electrical in Lincoln Rd (Auckland) fixes them and I've seen old ones there that he gets bits from - worth a phone call before you chuck it.

It comes in black as well as brushed nickel ( dearer) pearl metallic which is lovely as well as another 18 colours.

Now I'm really wishing I'd bought a KitchenAid after reading through the above posts!

Quite right, they dont. Those above who have 40 yo models, they are completely different to new models. KitchenAid have changed little in 91 years and old attachments still fit new machines.

cookessentials - I assume you have them after looking at your website? What hours are you open over the next 2 weeks? I'd love to come over and have a look at your shop and rather buy one off you locally.

I said above I'd post pavlova results for the new Kenwood KMX51 - it made an excellent pavlova.I made a bigger pavlova than usual though, so will make a standard 4-white one sometime in the next day or two so I can be absolutely certain that the whites whip to the same volume as they did with my old Kenwood (which produced the same volume as a Philips hand-held mixer).Will repost once done.
Now (ducks...) I just want to say I haven't used a Kitchen Aid, so I'm not trying to say the Kenwood is better, just posting my own observations on its performance.

I'm going to be really different. I have a Breville. It's awesome! 1200 watt and really awesome!!! I use it all the time and it is only about 6 months old but I love it! And it comes in different colours.

I hadn't seen the pearly metallic before!Hmmm!I had my heart set on the deep red one, but have started thinking a black or silver might be better.

The candy apple red is just gorgeous...think toffee apple red with a bit of glitter for effect.

She has not adjusted her prices! They are $995 as of 1 November. Nobody is allowed to discount these machines,so her website manager is behind the eight ball.

I have a Kitchen Aid as I loved the look of it. Makes wonderful cakes and stuff.Had a secondhand Kenwood for years and that was great too. I prefer the retro Kitchen Aid look and the mixing ability of it.

LOL, no, sorry. For the patty pans, look under baking tins.
