Progress Go Bake Stand Mixer, 1300W, 4L Bowl, 8 Speed, Teal

This is about making pasta dough, shortcrust pastry and biscuits, I haven't tried anything else as yet. Up to now I've only used the magimix if I wasn't making dough by hand. I never thought I'd get a stand mixer because of cost and size, but this one is within my range and fits neatly under the cupboards over our counter. It's a revelation. I'm getting lighter, more luxurious doughs, as good as or even better than by hand. Notes: I suggest you ignore the advice in the manual( and online) about how you'll totally brick your dough if you ever run the mixer faster than very slow. It's simply not true — crumb forms smoothly, butter blends in better, and you only need to slow down when adding the liquid (last of all) to let the crumb reform into little pebbles. It looks terribly dry compared to other methods, but pinching between finger and thumb is enough to check if it's ready to roll. It took me a while to get used to the time everything takes, minutes rather than seconds, but the plus is you can leave it to get on by itself while doing other stuff, unlike the food processor. And what a high-class, solid metal, removable bowl. You can weigh all the dry stuff in it beforehand, and once you've finished it rinses clean in a moment. Much easier than cleaning a food processor.

I just made some bread one two days ago and another about an hour ago. I used wrights malty loaf as you will see in the video. I recommend it. I had the mixer turned to the highest speed and it still stuck the work surface with a sticky thick dough in the bowl and the dough attachment held well. If you wash things in a dishwasher make sure you wipe down aluminium attachments well and rinse them afterwards or the residue will get into the food your mixing. Dishwasher detergents aren't designed for anything that is aluminium. A good scrub with a non metal scrubber, and soapy water and rinse and wipe well with a wet cloth and leave to dry, then wipe with a white dry cloth to see if any residue or aluminium oxide remains.

Sturdy enough to do a good job. Also, it has a nice look. It's compact which was exactly what I needed but if you need something bigger and with more functions may not be the one. Very good value for money thought and overall I'm vry happy with this purchase.

This is a nice neat and very handy mixer. It is great as it has a splash gaurd and you can add ingredients as it mixes through th little opening. It has more than one fitment as well with different settings. Its also easy to store away when not needed. That small hand mixer, you won't need it with this guy. It can mix just about anything from a couple of eggs to a loaf. Great buy. One of my best. Love it.

Love this food mixer, stable when in use, good sized metal bowl, bottom of bowl isn't bevelled so ingredients mix well.....quite light & easy to wash. Much quieter than my previous mixer. It's a lovely pale sage green colour. Bought at special offer price on easy payments. Would recommend this mixer.

It’s very weak product. Only one time and the motor became very hot and smoke came out

This little mixer is fantastic. A joy to use which has encouraged more baking - bread, pizza, cakes, pancakes - all great. Very quiet too. Also easy to clean - a definite bonus. Very pleased with this purchase.

This is a great mixer it looks good and is sturdy and easy to use would definitely recommend. Also very impressed that every single piece of packaging it arrived in was completely recyclable

Mixer Worked Twice Then Motor Had Difficulties & Would Not Mix Evenly - Had To Buy A New KENWOOD CLASSIC MIXER To REPLACE THIS USLEESS PRODUCT DO NOT RECOMMEND

Died after few weeks.. refund and went with better brand.
