Have a kenwood and love it- about 35 yrs here but aren't they now made in China so would be a compromise in quality and performance!

Cookessentials, does the Kitchenaid come in black or silver!
I love my 35 year old Kenwood and will probably never replace it but having used a friend's new Kitchenaid I would get one if my Kenwood does give up the ghost.In particular I though it creamed butter and sugar much more effectively - didn't needto scrape down the edges nearly as much. And it was cherry red!

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.

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.

I would LOVE a candy apple red mixer, couldnt care less about the brand, just love the colour lol.
Nah, I prefer a kenwood, only because I dont know much about kitchen Aid.

I found a shop in Tauranga selling the KitchenAid for under $800. But they are not listed in the distributor's website. Does anyone know if the PeterMcGinnessite is current with its NZ stockists!

Haven't used kitchenaid. But have a 4yr old Kenwood Chef that I use 4-5X/week and very happy with it. Only problem is the old attachments from our previous kenwood don't fit other then the bowl and the blender attachment is flimsy plastic so the top has broken when it was dropped. Otherwise its great and would reccomend to others.

Peter McInnes should be up to date. What is the name of the store!
This smacks of the bad old days F & P when they couldn't be discounted. Price fixing is illegal. Commerce Comm would be interested.
