This kMix KMX754 range from Kenwood has blown any previous critiques of Kenwood being boring out of the window! With this year’s range being both stylish and having the quality to go toe-to-toe with international appliance giants it’s no wonder so many of our customers (and staff) make kMix stand mixers their first choice. Not only are Kenwood keeping with their traditional style and beautiful cast metal casing, there’s also a colour to suit every home. Choose from a radiant red, a cooling cream or brilliant black to decide whether to stand out or blend with your decor. We asked one of our reviewers, Tom, to get to grips with the kMix KMX754 range. Over to you, Tom…
The bowl attachments lock into place securely through a simple push and twist motion. It’s easy to adjust the height of all the attachments, making it easy to maintain a balanced and even mix on all ingredients. The kMix comes with the standard three mixing attachments, a dough hook, balloon whisk and K-beater all providing their own high quality purposes.
Let’s talk about that dough hook a little more. Despite having a weight limit of 1.3kg, the dough hook doesn’t half pack a mean punch. This is thanks to the 1000w motor powering the machine, making it perfect for kneading the dough for the perfect bread, pizza bases and large batches of cookie dough. Next up, we have the K-beater which is designed to mix dry ingredients or even crush biscuits for those delicious cheesecake bases. There is also a spatula for easy removal of ingredients and a splashguard with extra-large feed tube which takes care of the worry about making any mess.
There’s plenty of room for ingredients with a roomy 5-litre glass mixing bowl that comes complete with a useful handle. With very steep sides and a handle it could double as a giant’s breakfast mug, but for normal people those steep sides have the benefit of stopping mixture from flying too far and therefore reduces both mess and waste. Not only that, but thanks to the bowl being made of glass, it’s easy to clean and is even appropriate for a dishwasher as are all of the additional attachments. I love to cook and bake so the idea of being able to spend less time on cleaning and more time on baking and creating, makes this product even easier to maintain and use.
Another benefit to this mixer is that it can cope with the tough jobs – like a sturdy whole wheat loaf – just as well as the delicate tasks, like whipping up a light sauce or delicate pastry. Whatever the job, you’ll find it always up to the task thanks to the 6 speed settings. From meringues to rye bread, you have total control over the speed you wish to use and there is even a fold function which folds ingredients without losing air.
Kenwood products are built to last and the kMix754 range of stand mixers is certainly no exception; buy online today, use our Click & Collect to pick one up in as little as one hour. Your local Hughes team are also happy to give you advice and personal guidance on the right kMix for you.
