What customers say about "Key Specs"

Kenwood KM262 Prospero Stand Mixer

This kitchen mixer is a powerful device that should make food preparation a less troubling chore.
It's a "power tool," as if it would be more at home in the garage with the compound mitre saw and the drill press
This is by far the best mixer I have ever used. It is strong, which is what is needed for making bread.
With all the attachments that came with it I can now chop foods up for making stir-fries and puree foods for smoothies.
Noisy but comparing to the job it does I can live with it.

KitchenAid KSM95TB

It came with three attachments, a dough hook, a whisk, and a flat beater. We've used it for making a lot of desserts, and different doughs. It's very solidly built and I haven't had any issues with it so far.
We love the color and the power this mixer brings. Cleans up easy.
LOVE this mixer !!!! Mine is 300 watts . very powerful , can't go wrong . It is sturdy and built to last
t's powerful enough for the home cook, quiet, and so much easier to use than a hand mixer
Worked well for icing and cookie dough, but not powerful enough (or a large enough bowl) for making bread.
Motor is not sturdy enough for high speed.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Kenwood KM262 Prospero Stand Mixer

This machine is quite simply fantastic. I was worried, when I ordered it, that it might be too big. Not at all - it is the perfect size.
It is light, but it stays put during use.
I love the fact that this mixer is heavy enough not to move when mixing a lot of ingredients.
The large sized bowl makes it very easy to blend ingredients together without making a mess when it starts to mix.
It is durable, actually very heavy in weight and is a big machine.

KitchenAid KSM95TB

Its weight is one of the many advantages of the machine, when mixing heavier items such as bread and cookie doughs
The perfect size for small family and baking for two.
It is a good size,solid, and does what she wants it to do.
It weights a ton.

What customers say about "Control"

Kenwood KM262 Prospero Stand Mixer

Very simple operation and intuitive. I like everything about this mixer.
Very easy setup in a couple of seconds.
I like everything about this mixer. Control, power, design, everything works amazingly.
The problem is that the whisk & mixing blades don't go near the bottom of the bowl.
The controls just stopped working after a couple of days of use.

KitchenAid KSM95TB

The variety of speeds is very useful as is the ability to raise the head with simple flip of a lever
While adding ingredients during mixing, it throws flour and liquids all over the kitchen...and that's at low speeds!!
The setting levels are hard to change

What customers say about "Details"

Kenwood KM262 Prospero Stand Mixer

The dough hook, paddle, and other tools are adjustable when it comes to clearance between them and the very nice SS mixing bowl.
Splash Guard worked awesome and easy to get on and off. Bowl easy to get on and off.
The beater attachment is very rigid. This is good when beating things, but it also means it's brittle.
This mixer has a basic design fault as even using the height adjustment to its full extent it is not possible to get the whisk close enough to the bottom of the bowl.
The beater shafts had become bent and had bent the receiver chuck on the mixer head.

KitchenAid KSM95TB

The 4.5-quart polished stainless steel bowl with ergonomic handle is big enough to handle large batches of heavy mixtures
Durable and does it's job. I love how there are a ton of attachments that you can convert your mixer into. I have a use for this every week with pretty much every recipe I have.
All the attachments work perfectly.
It has great power and lots of attachments available.
Only downside is you have to hand wash the bowl and beater s.
Works great, but like many other complaints about the item - it was loud and noisy right out of the box
