Watch This Before Getting A Kenwood Mixer!!

My old Kenwood Major doesn’t work anymore, so I’ve finally gone out and purchased a new one, the Kenwood Chef XL Titanium. But not everything goes according to the plan, and it over heats!

[@Triplechorus2]

My parents bought an A 901 D in 1987 and I remember it was an expensive purchase. Two years later my mother died. A few months ago I received the machine from my father who hasn't used it since about 2003 but put it in storage. The electronics were broken but today I fixed them, cleaned everything and filled the gearbox with food grade grease. The machine that forms a strangely earthly connection to my mum will be put back into service tomorrow after so many years of inactivity. Many greetings from Germany!🇩🇪🤝

@Brian Coley Oh no, oh no, even worse.

[@martinhindle9764]

The dough hook should not be touching the bowl. Check the dough hook height adjustment. All Kenwood mixers have to be set correctly before use. This should be in the instructions. If the dough hook is too low, it will overload the motor. Run the dough hook with no ingredients in the bowl on slow, and if it touches the sides, it needs to be raised a little. This also applies to the whisk and the k beater.

[@rachaels8976]

My Mum bought a Kenwood in the late 60s and it still works. I broke the bowl when I was a kid and we had to walk 15 miles into the main town to get a new bowl after ordered it and waited for weeks. It finally arrived one week before my Dad was coming home on leave from the RAF and to this day, he's unaware that she spent that much money covering up my actions. They just celebrated their 56th wedding anniversary. The newer models from any brand are not as durable as the older ones were. My Kitchenaid walked off the counter kneading dough. It has a huge dent in it and the arms that the bowl circles are damaged. Still mixes but I'm kinder to it these days.

[@gillgreen3446]

You should mix bread on speed 1 until everything comes together and then use speed 2 or 3. It also depends on your flour. It will mix larger quantities of white flour than brown and also hydration makes a difference as softer dough doesn’t put so much strain on the machine.

[@FarmerE]

Lovely, Toni! Thank you so much!

[@WatchWithYourEyes]

I have the exact model and that goes with your old one too. The best stress test I have done is bagel dough at 2kg yield. That has been the only item that has caused the grease to liquify and drip through the bayonet fitting (after two batches). I was worried so much that I put the Kenwood in the fridge to cool down. Same amount of grease came out when I first used machine, but that is normal. I would say you need to break-in the machine with a small load first couple of times. Otherwise, it can handle a lot; even though its light construction means it jumps around more than my old model. And the light is not a gimmick, I do find it handy for midnight bread making haha. Weird you didn’t mention Ankarsrum. People swear by its kneading capabilities, but it’s too much of a novelty in Australia in regards to repairs and accessories. PS. I’ll add that you can go to 4-4.5 with most doughs, what other people say be damned. But on that level and above, you are seriously heating up your dough; so keep it short or keep it low.

[@davidbgreensmith]

Considering that you melted the guts out of the poor thing I'm quite impressed it still works. I'd get it serviced though to make it safe. Might be worth talking to Kenwood and confessing user error. They might offer a replacement or repair as goodwill.

[@Verusik97]

As a baker, this hurts my soul XD Aside from using a way too high speed for this, i think kitchen robots are meant for kneading wet dough and developing gluten in them. It's easier than kneading it yourself for like 20 minutes. Old, traditional recipes like "fastelavnsboller" is actually a much tougher dough, because they are meant to be knead by hand, so to me it's actually easier to do by hand XD The drier and tougher a dough is, the more difficult it is to knead with a mixer.

Never had my Cooking Chef even get warm (except when cooking!) and I have run some heavy doughs through at speed. Have worked it hard with the mincer and pasta extruder as well - no issues.

[@johngrobbelaar3463]

Hydration plays a big role here, normally I would not drop below 65% looking at the video tells me it was likely in this area, then I will suggest to run the machine on its lowest speed. good rule of thumb is to stop mixing when the dough does not stick to the bowl either due to lack of hydration or if the gluten developed to the point of making the dough less sticky. I have a low end Brabantia mixer 2000W (very cheap workhorse, almost 1/4 of the price of a Kenwood) it's been working daily in my kitchen for 5 years now, making all kinds of dough from low hydration/high hydration. and self servicing the device is relatively simple. would definitely suggest this great Video!

[@DRash198]

Even though, It still should NOT F MELT!!!!

[@Dinomannen]

@@DRash198 The melting was expected since when kneading a large dough on high speed the dough hold the hook back too much so the engine tried to go faster than it can, and when a electrical engine is held back so it is trying to go faster than it does it produces alot of heat, that follows the mechanisms out easily since they are metal and then the plastic that is nearly touching that metal starts to melt. Which is why they suggest a low speed.

my mum also has a kenwood, I also have one. 2.5 kilos of dough says WARM meaning more pliable AND low speed on kneading. high speeds up to max are for meringue/fresh cream and the latter must stop as to avoid having butter instead of chantilly. max. velocity for doughs is actually the min. setting. as it works for a good ten minute frame. go for a ratio of 60% hydration for larger quantities, 500 grams flour 300 grams in total water/milk/eggs. foir oasta where you might have to go 50%hydration 500 grams of flour and 250 grams milk/water/egg go for three batches it's ok, no need for 2.5 kilos of dough at once... good luck

This recommendation is based on mechanical limitations, NOT actual need. If you have a mechanical gear driven machine like the old Hobarts or their newer Chinese replacement you'd never have to worry, except to hold the machine down onto its support. I have both a Kenwood, whcih I now only use for small amounts, and a Chinese Hobart Clone which I now use exclusively for bread. For high hydration doughs and brioche in smaller amounts I do use 2nd speed on that machine and it never skips a beat are barely heats up (gearbox temperature increases less than 5°C above ambient after 15 minutes of use). For larger amounts and stiffer doughs I use 1st speed. Bottom line, listen to the machine, it will tell you it's having a hard time before it breaks down 😉

I have bought 1500kW Kenwood Chief Titanium this week, was saving up money to purchase for several months, cause I know it worth it.

Maybe his love of mixers go beyond making bread.

I have kitchen aid since 1995 and turned it on max 40 times it's still running very well

[@dmitriybelov7485]

Just a real man's kitchen! Great job and nice video!

[@teaman7v]

For anyone watching this, read the manual, and use the correct speed to avoid overloading your mixer like this guy did

[@inkenhafner7187]

In general: if you buy something that comes with a manual - read it.

[@knightofnever]

My 50 year old Kenwood mixer broke, so bought a new one 20 years ago. But I hung on to the old whisk and K beater. The whisk from the new Kenwood mixer gave me trouble, and melted, so I am using the whisk FROM MY 50 YEAR OLD MIXER! Old is surely gold!!!!

[@lindsaystoican2427]

Most stand mixers say to use speed1 when mixing anything heavy

[@lorenzomagro9721]

Before using the type of mixers you should read the manual... you would discover that there is a maximum time for each speed that you can use and everyone of each speed need a different time to rest, depending on speed and on what you do

[@Iisakkiik]

Yes and in addition to having that in the manual it blows a thermal fuse before melting, potentially saving your house from a fire. Oh wait that didn't happen, yeah it was broken out of the box.

[@organiccold]

We have that exact Kenwood at work, more than often the gear box screws fall off inside the bowl hahahah

[@orbitboi63]

New here but loved the first video I saw. Hello from New Zealand.

[@LebohangMntambo]

I have KitchenAid professional 6.9L and this Kenwood Chef Titanium XL. I love the KitchenAid but honestly this Kenwood mixes bread dough better, I easily mix 1KG of bread flour without it overheating.

[@sashineb.2114]

Good, glad to hear that. The day is coming when I will have to replace my 31 year old KitchenAid mixer, and I think I will get a Kenwood Titanium this time.

[@Drxxx]

Speed needs to be on maximum 1 for this dough.. start with lowest speed and increase it to the MIN, and than fastest that you can go is 1!

[@susanpotts153]

Kenwood tests their machines for months with nuts and bolts in the bowl to ensure they work properly. I’ve had mine for 35 years and it’s an absolute Trojan. Bought it in the UK, moved back to Australia and she’s still doing brilliantly. So, a lesson to learn, when in doubt, read the instructions!!!

[@orbitboi63]

At least the power voltage is the same over there as it is in England.

[@HomewithAurora]

Ah, an old neighbour bequeathed me her yellow-orange and I have a white model which I bought from a garage sale in our old neighbourhood in Vestfold. Good luck with your search for a repairman. Mvh A. 🙏🌷🙏

many years ago I bought a cheap Silvercrest mixer made by LIDL (very similar to BOSCH). It worked very well as long as I start to made some heavy dough (700kg), then I worn 3 internal plastic gears. I look for a new one and after some knowledge I learn these commercial mixer are limited to 700/1/1.5Kg dough capacity. I read some kitchenaid fans tell Kitchenaids are better and Kenwood fans tell kenwoods are better. the reality is: Both have 1 internal plastic gear (Kenwood have also a belt) these plastic pieces could be the problem (some gears broke on heavy load) and could be also the motor safety. Kitchenaid made a special model for dough with metal gear and bowl fork, is very similar to other brands basic professional mixer. For more than 1.5/2 kg there are professional mixer that turn the bowl (the bowl is a big gear) and the hook (screw) turn in his axis (not planetary). So, I learn there is a common limit in a commercial machines and If I want more I need an expensive heavy duty. At the end I bought an used kenwood on ebay (was a good offer with all tools for €350). It work, the motor made some noise (like worn bearing) but I eard is that model characteristic and not a big worry about. the other problem is the head move a little as your, maybe a little more because there isn't the pin, need some tweak. Inside there is the plastic gear and belt in perfect condition. Between the old Silvercrest and the new kenwood I used another Silvercrest of my mum, I used it with slow speed and still work!

[@sacoto98]

Tips for everyone who wants to read them: When you increase the speed and the machine gets louder but you don't notice a difference in the actual speed then that means your machine isn't handling the load. This happens a lot with heavier doughs like bread dough and sometimes cake and cookie dough. If you want a real work horse that can handle a lot of work without instantly breaking, get a bowl-lift kitchenaid. But the tip still applies. A bowl lift is better than a tilt head because it is a lot more sturdy and it doesn't have that "joint" that allows the head to tilt. The problem with tilt heads is that they bounce around to much and the tilting joints aren't usually good quality and all that results in the motor having to over compensate for that lost energy

[@paulortiz2035]

GEE, I have a bowl lift kitchenaid and want to give it away. And, you guessed it!!! Get a Kenwood!

@Bryant Milan Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@magnusjaxtyn3735]

@Bryant Milan it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my account!

[@NantokaNejako]

2:44 omg what ... i don't understand a word... *BUT!* in Germany, we have Fastelovvend too! in the Aachen region dialect 😃 so I knew what you wanted to say although I didn't understand a word 😉 We have quite a lot of Fastelovvend traditions too. Burning down new kitchen mixers is not one of them, though 😎

[@enja455]

Takk for videoen! Jeg har nettopp kjøpt en Kenwood, og tenkte at det var lurt å se en video om den først 😄

[@snerketryne]

great demonstration, and awesome video. ill be sticking around.

[@FarmerE]

Thanks, great to have you!

[@jaywhyel]

My kMix fell off the table as it walked off itself 😂

[@majkusdoesoddstuffha744]

Same happened to me my fridge is in the garage and and I got back my mixer was smashed on the floor with smoke everywhere

[@heleneculioli-atwood6997]

Use the hook. Then, speed 1 for 8 minutes, then speed 2 for 4 minutes.

[@lilliandozier9604]

You are a trip, I loved it and will definitively keep this in mind. 😅👍🌻💛🧡

[@oliverroyal4037]
