Kitchenaid, so many colours too.

I have raspberry ice and it looks beautiful in my kitchen.

I have a Kenwood Multione and it's great for cake mixtures and dough. It's got loads of attachments and can be used as a food processor and blender too, plus other bits that I've never used.

I wanted a Kitchenaid as they look so sleek, but did some research and bought this one as it was much cheaper and has lots more functions.

My Kenwood is very heavy - I don’t have enough kitchen space for it to sit out & I dread having to lift it.
It is brilliant for the likes of Christmas cake but not very good for small mixes like sponges. I find the beater doesn’t mix small quantities very well.
TBH - I regret buying it.

This is a really good point... with both Kenwood and Kitchenaid, if you don't have enough counter space for them, they are not really practical, because they are HEAVY!

Personally, I think the Kitchenaid is a beautiful design, and looks lovely on the countertop, but the Kenwood costs much less. Both, I am sure, are great.

I love my Kitchenaid and use it a few times a week. I have a couple of attachments, but the one I use most is the food grinder, and I use it to make pork pies, and they are amazing! Im hoping to find a good recipe for sausages, so I can try that too.

My kenwood isn’t as old as yours but I’ve had it 27 years and it has very regular use. My mum’s kenwood is over 40 years old and still working although it isn’t used as often as mine is.
