UNIMPRESSED: I purchased this about 6 weeks ago, mainly because of the motor power to knead dough. I used 500gm flour, 1 egg and enough water to make dough. The machine jumped about, made a lot of noise and struggled. I stopped it and added more water and it was better but still struggled and got very hot. I finished kneading by hand. The proving function only slightly works if you turn the dough over in the bowl at regular intervals. The result after 45 minutes was a slightly risen dough. I ended up using the oven as I normally would. The other functions I used work well. I remain unimpressed.

Good but faulty dial button: Works well but main function button gets stuck often needing to be manually pushed and pulled

Kenwood xl stand mixer: I'm loving my kenwood mixer ,twas a gift by my hubby and its really great to have. Love the weighing scale,the lights and other features of this mixer. The only thing they need to improve is the cover for splash. I mean it would be great if it's something more durable something worthy knowing its dear price. But still recommend it.

Best thing ever!: I love, love, love this machine! So easy to use and I simply love all the functions. Buying the Titanium Chef Patissier is the best decision I ever made. Worth every penny

A Very Impressive Addition to My Kitchen Equipment: I have always had Kenwood food mixers, I guess I picked that up from my mother, who also had Kenwood kitchen appliances. In the past, I have given my older models to friends, when I had decided to upgrade. All of the machines I gave to friends, are still in good working order. I still have my general Kenwood Chef, that looks like a smaller version of my Titanium Chef Patissier. A number of the attachments I own will work on both machines. I am very impressed with my new Kenwood Chef Patissier, It has so many interesting new features to older models, the light above the mixing bowl is a great feature, plus the extra power, also a larger capacity main mixer bowl, add to that a second smaller bowl for smaller batches of particular recipes. I can thoroughly recommend this machine.
