Haha to be fair I get like that with friends too. One of my friends has a Bosh MUM, the other has a KitchenAid and I have a Kenwood Chef. Whenever we talk about baking it ends up in a competition which is silly because OBVIOUSLY my Kenwood takes the cake :P

My first one broke after 1 year of use, i bought it while i was in pastry school, i felt like i was not a beginner who mis-used it ( sister and mum are pastry too) My retailer finally agreed to exchange it after 4 years because it would break once a year. The new one looks ok now but i still have 2 other brands stand mixer that i use from time to time

[@tabandken8562]

@@CrimsonArchon Which means absolutely nothing today. Your Kitchenaid was made 35 years ago when appliances were made to last. What about the new models? I would love to see someone disassemble a 35 year old Kitchenaide and compare it to a current new disassembled Kitchenaide. I would like to see if the same quality parts are used. I've seen many online complaints that Kitchenaide no longer builds to last. Though I wonder if the lesser quality ones are the ones Wal-Mart sells. Sometimes brands sell inferior products to Wal-Mart to sell. I know HP did with their computers. Also, there could be counterfeit look alikes. Never buy name brand on Amazon. Too many 3rd party sellers there.

Nice comparisons, I would have loved to see how the dough hooks work, especially since they are in the three different major shapes; the KitchenAid’s “C” shaped dough hook, the Kmix’s spiral dough hook, and the Aucma’s “J” shaped dough hook. I reckon a yeast dough test would really be an interesting one to see.

[@louisbaldaccini7690]

Yes, I agree. Bread dough has been the downfall of many a machine.

[@flowergod12]

If you make dough in small batches aucmas J shapes worked pretty well. I found that if my dough ball was any larger than 3 or 4 cups the dough would move onto the top of the attachment and eventually get in the attaching part of the hook and the slings which got annoying fast. It made me really want the kitchen aid since their attachment thought about that and blocks out the dough from touching anything that it doesn’t need to

[@MaZEEZaM]

@@flowergod12 The kenwood attachments also have that disc at the top to prevent this. If you can afford them, the Kenwood Chef range of mixers are the best.

[@wanderingaloudwithmark3057]

I have been considering the Aucma for a while now due its affordability. Do you find that the ingredient's get stuck to the outer edges of the bowl? Cause I like the scraper paddle offered b Kitchenaid.

Yeah, dough is the critical thing. I can say the KMix handles my pizza dough needs well, it'll take about 1.5KG but not sure if that's a 1000W thing.

Great review! I've had a KitchenAid Artisan for about 10 years and love it. Only thing I thought you missed was making a bread dough with the hook. It would have been nice to see how they compared on that.

[@sandrapulaski3970]

My kitchenaid is at least 20 years old and still works without problem. Have had to replace the wire whisk . The new whisk has stainless steel wires but the bit where it attaches is now made from an inferior metal so it is not recommended to be put in the dishwasher. That is a negative for me. The other negative bit is when I choose to wash the bowl by hand, it tips over easily because of its small base. Having made these comments, I love my kitchenaid and will replace it with a new one when and if this one fails. I loved this video. Thanks Cupcake Jemma and crew!

[@vaanipapadakis2226]

I know everyone is talking about the Kitchenaid but I was kind of rooting for the Acuma. It's an affordable machine that works for the everyday user.

[@carolkinyon6308]

I started baking cakes over 30 years ago for my kids and family birthdays. I took 2 Wilton cake classes... the next thing I was making wedding cakes for family and friends. Then worked at 2 bakeries.

I proudly display my Kitchen Aid on the counter. Thank you so much Gemma for your You Tube videos. I do so enjoy.

[@chelseajane9626]

I've had an Aucma mixer for 6 years now, been used roughly once a week so it's been used but not overly intensive, no damage to it at all. As you say it's a little tricky to clean and the older model you are able to trap fingers in when putting the top down. For the £80 if I had to replace every 6-10years I'd still say it's a pretty good hard wearing machine.

[@lisaanderson135]

I bought a KitchenAid Artisan about 15 years ago and it still works fantastic! My mom had the KitchenAid Proline which is about 25 years old. When she passed away in 2016, I got her Pro and gave my sister the Artisan. Both work great, but I found the Artisan to rattled a little while mixing cookie dough. So I am really happy to have more power. Thank you guys for your informative demonstration of different stand mixers! I have to say I love the color of Dane’s robin egg blue and Jemma’s pistachio green (which is the same Artisan I had). My mixer is dark gray and it matches my soap stone counter tops. I love it even if it isn’t a pretty color.

I have the kenwood chef XL. Its really great but I did have to get my first one replaced (for free by John Lewis) because it overheated when making bread I was only kneading it for about 10mins. This was over a year of having it. The metal notch where the attachments go in massively over heated (it could burn your hand) and the top of the machine was hot but not so hot that you'd be worried about it. I'd describe it as warm. I only noticed that the metal notch was burning hot when I smelt a burnt plastic smell. The plastic around the notch where the attachments go in had melted from the heat of the metal! But thankfully the whole machine got replaced.

I have the Aucma and bake cakes, make meringues, macarons, madeleines, etc. Etc. It has performed very well for the 6 months that I’ve had it. Don’t forget that you can buy 5 new ones over time for the price of those more expensive mixers. Plus I can hide it easily in a cabinet. The sticky feet hold it firmly in place without all that weight. The whisk looks flimsy, but in your test it outpaced the more expensive ones in beating egg whites to stiff peaks! That was a surprise for me since I don’t have anything to compare mine to! It has the highest wattage and I think the power to the implements is comparable to the other two. Probably longevity will be its weak suit, but what the heck...throw it out and get a new one!

Just chucking another option in for consideration: After seeing all of that, I still love my Kenwood Chef the best, it's somewhere in between the Kmix and the KitchenAid for price, power, speed settings and available attachments/bowls.

Love the review! I’ve got a kitchenaid in pale cream and it has a shimmer to it that I didn’t notice in the pictures. The only thing I would disagree with is the open lever review. Most people like me wouldn’t be baking from behind the machine so actually having it on the side compared to the back is actually easier, so you’re not leaning over the machine to open it. ❤️

I've owned a bright red Artisan for about 5 years now, and cannot fault it at all! I noticed Jemma was confused as to the use of the small bowl, personally, when I use the meat grinder attatchment to make mince, I use the small bowl to collect the mince, or whatever you are processing. Everything about the Kitchenaid is top quality though, mine has never skipped a beat, and it's done plenty of heavy dough kneading plenty of times.

Great review!! How about a review of handmixers? We’ve seen you use them in videos occasionally. Have you tried a number of brands/models before finding the one you like? Thanks!

[@macaoron]

Hand mixers are excellent tbh. They're lightweight, easy to store and transport, inexpensive (I bought mine from a Craigslist listing), and mine has such a great range of speeds too. In fact, because you mix around with your hand, it mixes more thoroughly than the stand mixer, and often times I find that I spend less time to get the results I need compared to what the recipe says. It does get tiring, and it's difficult to add an ingredient while I am mixing (e.g. making Italian meringues), but I'm an infrequent baker, so overall it has served me well and I had no problem recreating Cupcake Jemma recipes!

Just wanted to add another comment about the KMix and that’s the attachments. I got two the silicone side scraper (similar to Jemma’s but silicone on both sides) and the folding tool. Both are great and the slowest speed on the KMix is the folding speed (the red speed icon on the dial). Haven’t tried the top attachments yet, perhaps you could review a range of attachments for both the bowls and also on the top of the Kitchen Aid and KMix. Anyway, really good review. Totally agree that the Kitchen Aid is the better one but like you guys said, the KMix is great for a couple of times a week baker and can stay on your counter. 😃.

I've had a Kenwood K-Mix for around 3 years now and had my Kitchenaid Artisan for 4 months. Having the Kitchenaid has made me question why I put up with my Kenwood for so long! It's currently in for it's third warranty job (two of those have been replacing the plastic ring at the bottom of the glass bowl) and now the glass bowl is completely stuck on the base so it will be in with them for 15+ working days to get sorted. The Kitchenaid is a God send in all categories! I can't wait to get more of them and the attachments to go along with it!

[@spencerwilton5831]

The Cake Club Glass and ceramic bowls never work well regardless of brand. I have had KA and Kenwood and find Kenwood to be better by far. A KA is usually 325 watts, a Kenwood three times that or more. Best bet is actually a Kenwood chef, 1500 watts, all metal gears. They will make bread all day long, which would kill a KA in hours.

I've just received my candy pink kitchen aid in a delivery.... I absolutely love it ❤️ it's so powerful too 💖

[@theweatherisaokay4964]

I had my KitchenAid 5K5SS for 20 years now and the one with a spring and a tiny cap on the hook head. Mine as good as new, working perfectly but I think for making bread dough bread machine is doing a much better work in kneading heavy bread dough but for cakes, biscuit and merengue or any lighter batter it works great. Love watching you guys comparing different brands of heavy mixer, After having mine for 20 years I don't think I'm gonna buy another one because it working great still. might as well like someone said, would bring with me to heaven. Awesome video by the way, you guys are so fun to watch.😊

[@arnoldsands1610]

I really would like to have seen a comparison with Cuisinart.

[@cherrypieparker]

In europe we dont really use that brand

[@croftangel001]

I bought my first KitchenAid a good few weeks back. I became inspired by Jemma's bakes and gained more confidence in myself when it came to baking so I knew it was about time that I invested in one and I love it🥰 It was a good bit cheaper than Jemma's one, on sale in a local shop but I like that even though I don't have the extra attachment like Jemma or the bowls, I have the option to get them. Prior to it I had a cheap style one like Dane's that I bought in Aldi and also similar to Dane's, it worked very well for small scale bakes and cookies but as I wanted to expand my baking ability I knew I had to change my mixer & I am in love with it😍 My fiancee convinced me to get it and I'm glad she did 🤗 She also bought me my Cupcake Jemma book😊 Having said all that my Nan is an old school, traditinal, Irish nanny baker who has had a Kenwood for years and she has never had a problem with it. They are all good and serve their purpose in their own right😍 Thanks for the video, always puts a smile on my face to watch you guys, love to see Nikki in more videos, her & Dane are hilarious 😅 Take care and be safe thanks for everything that you and all the C&D gang do to make life full of colour and batter😊😋♥️♥️ ♥️KitchenAid Love 😍♥️

[@clarebruno4542]

I have the Aucma mixer and have found it to be great value for money. I use it at least twice a week to make cakes, cookies, etc, and it meets my needs as an occasional hobby baker. Great review, it was lovely to see the 3 of you together on screen. More please!

[@Dulcerstone]

I love my Kenwood but like Sally would definitely recommend getting the stainless steel both both me and my friend had the plastic ring on the glass bowl crack. It seems to be a known fault. But everything else great quality. Great video!

[@EmilyJohnson-jh6jd]

Do you have to scrape down the bowl a lot when making cakes?

[@KariysuFamilia]

wwwooooowoooo, thanks to all of you, now I know that my kitchen aid is the best for mi. I used it only for my house but I had questions about the other two. thanks to all of you love your channel and to see you, you inspire me to bake. God Bless all of you and your love ones. ; )

[@baisleytabatha]

My husband just bought me a kitchenAid mixer a few days ago and I’m absolutely loving it! I can’t believe I didn’t know what I was missing all these years! Lol

[@kathyirwin6854]

Don’t forget that the Kitchen Aid is built to accept many different appliance attachments such as grinders, processors, pasta, ice cream, juicing and even a weighing and sifting and dispensing scale plus others!

[@robertknight4672]

I have the ice cream maker and the spiralizer what are usually just use to peel potatoes. I actually got the spiralizer complete in box in a thrift shop.

[@gaycarey2201]

Thank you Jemma & co for the update on stand mixers. I had always wanted a Kitchenaid mixer and 1 1/2 years ago my husband bought me one. WOW love it have used it many times, for cakes, pizza and mashed potato. I stuck to the colour black as all of my other appliances are black. What a great appliance for your kitchen

[@Eatwithetiquette]

This was a great review, well done. I’ve just purchased a KMix (picking it up tomorrow), so this has really helped to set my expectations, thank you 😊

[@rachrob3707]

I've just ordered a Kenwood k mix today to replace a vintage Kenwood (1960's model) I was gifted some years ago. The old dear still works, but there's some bearing noise so it's time for her to retire but still take pride of place atop my kitchen units 😊 great video folks! x

[@mmw7268]

Thanks, enjoyed watching. A suggestion for a future video is the comparison in the quality of products used and if they really do give you a better value, e.g butter: Asda versus M&S versus Fancy French brand. Or the same for flour, chocolate etc. Is Dr Otekar as good as Sainsbury's own? Does nice baking really have to be about the best ingredients money can buy!?

[@macaoron]

I think it would be helpful, but Jemma has quite an international audience, so it'll be hard to find certain brands in different locales. However she has given a few pointers on how to find quality ingredients, for example butter with low water content and icing sugar with maize as a binding agent (?), and maybe that will help out even more!

[@danepemberton136]

@@macaoron Thanks Max, well said! Love it when you guys help each other out. True. I think it's not so much about brands so much, as they vary so much and often it can be about what you can get your hands on or afford, but about integral key qualities of ingredients to look for i.e % of cocoa butter in chocolate, caking agent in icing sugar etc.

[@annejia5382]

Dane replieeeeeed! 💙💙💙

[@AmberLeiigh]

I got a Kmix around 3 years ago and it’s done me proud. One issue is the ring on the bottom of the glass bowl breaks pretty easily however I did invest in a stainless steel bowl and Kenwood did actually send out a new ring for the glass bowl free of charge. Hands down a great mixer I will probably upgrade when my kmix gives up to a Kitchenaid! This was a brilliant review and eye opening that even the Aucma is a great mixer for beginners

[@caritabellotiiiwwicanewwwe2896]

So you are able to buy a stainless steel bowl for the kmix? I just bought one and this review got me a little worried about the bowl

[@xBris]

32:53 - well - I never needed a stand mixer - I'm completely content with my hand mixer - yet I've enjoyed your review very much. You did a great job at explaining the pros and cons of each machine and I feel like if I ever wanted to buy one I'd be very well informed now ;) And your stunning personalities obviously helped with my attention ;) I wouldn't mind to see more videos like this in the future. Thanks for the effort and stay safe :)

[@jimena075]

Thank you!!! I bought a KitchenAid just because I was a fan of your channel and you have a yellow one, so I thought: 'If she has one they must be the best ones'. Big fan of your channel! Keep the good work guys!

[@india2919]

I’ve been looking forward to this all week! 🥰

[@boexd8870]

Me too!! ❤😍

[@hbhat28]

Using KMix since 6 years now. Hands down the best. Love my KMix 😊

[@jbooks888]

My mother bought a Kenwood way back in 1980 and I ended up getting it and it's still going strong!

[@BakeTemptations]

I have a Kitchen Aid and absolutely love it. Recently bought a stainless steel beater and shredder and slicing attachment - brilliant.

[@idkrowena6165]

Loved this! I got a kitchenaid artisan for christmas last year! I’ve been absolutely loving it!! I’m getting quite serious into baking but I am struggling with a few things like developping recipes, time management and things like how to start being a home baker! I also have a fulltime job in a supermarket and I’m still going to school! So I’m often very busy. Could you maybe do a video on starting a buisiness from home? 😇

[@orlaaodonnell]

My mam has had her Kenwood Kmix for 32 years and we still use it every weekend, absolute trooper!

[@misscozza21]

Been wanting a kitchenaid for years my cousin has one and i always drool over it 😂😂

[@beatricenyanjom2696]

Where can I get kichern aid stand mixer

[@russty7569]

As an aspiring baker, im so glad I sat through this video. With all the comments going on, KitchenAid does looks great!

[@dpddawg]

Really enjoyed your video guys. Love the review. So sweet how Sally looks at Dane with such pride when he's talking 😌

[@domimanssur7308]

My grandma bought me an Artisan Kitchen Aid for my birthday this year, it comes with a glass bowl and it’s painted pearly pink. I’ve always been fond of baking and cake making, so it’s a very meaningful gift that I will always treasure.

[@chocineal3154]

I've been saving up for more than 2 months to buy a Kitchen Aid Artisan . I can finally buy one . I'm so happy 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😊😊😊

[@danepemberton136]

Enjoy!!!

[@izuchan92]

I saved four whole salaries to get mine. But I literally cried as soon as I got it into my car.

[@CrankyPantss]

That was a very nice demonstration and I'm sure it will be very helpful for a person who is in the market for a new mixer. We own a kitchenaid and it is a great machine. Unfortunately, ours doesn't live on the counter, so we have to lug it out and lift it up onto the counter every time we use it. It's heavy and bulky, but still worth it. Years ago, from amazon we ordered one of those paddles with the bowl scraper attached. I love that thing. It does a really great job.

[@burkies8273]

Ugh thats my colorrrrrr. Ive been eyeing it for easily 8 years. I just need to get one already 🤪😍

[@angelwings9609]

Watching your review after my amazing husband has just bought me an Kitchen aid Artisan for Christmas as an upgrade to my current £100 stand mixer which cuts out half way through mixing. Cupcake Jemma, I use your buttercream recipe all the time. Love the videos!!

[@kates7277]

I run a home bakery and have had my KitchenAid Professional for almost 20 years...she's a beast!

[@danepemberton136]

Jeeez! A long time

[@susanbadrkhan1428]

Hi Jemma from Norway😊 I had a senz kitchen machine before, it was similar to Dains machine. I used it for about 2,5 years for all my orders like wedding cakes ect. It was very good and it handled all my frequent use, but after it broke i bought myself a kitchenaid artisan. The kitchenaid was such a pleasure to use and so stressfree. Love it❤ But for a baker that sometimes bakes, the machine Dain has, it will do perfectly and it's much cheaper. I also wish that kitchenaid had thought about the slow speed, because it is often needed in baking projects.

[@emilychicken3758]

I absolutely loved this style of video!! I really needed a good quality review on these mixers and this has definitely helped! Thank you very much! I would love to see more videos like this, maybe on utensils? Love youu!

[@JamesFluker]

I've kind of been an infrequent but enthusiastic baker who's been wanting to take it to the next level - my mum just bought me the KitchenAid as a birthday gift, so I'm super excited to be able to do more and do it more easily. I found this really helpful, because it pointed out a few things that perhaps I hadn't considered. I'd said to my mum that she should get me a cheaper one like the Kenwood, although she was pretty insistent on the KitchenAid - and after this review, I'm really glad that she pushed for it. I'm really excited to try out an Italian Meringue buttercream! Cheers for this video and all the lessons along the way.

[@mayuraoak]

learnt so much about stand mixers! Amazing video, as always! I am amazed at how you guys have managed to stay relevant over all these years (I started following you in 2014)

[@shazamabean]

Just to let those know who are thinking of the kmix, john Lewis has the newer version on sale for £250 (comes with steel bowl instead of glass!!) down from £350. I just bought one.... was ooing and ahhing whether I should get any mixer but this video made me sure I needed one! Thank you for doing this guys, I had been waiting so long for this vid!

[@jelly-baby]

I just got a KMix from Costco £239, same model Argos and Curry's £420....

[@EmilyJohnson-jh6jd]

​@jelly-baby you finding it to be good?

[@anne-jorunnenstad3761]

I have an older version of the kmix in candy blue color (light turquise ) with a stainless steel bowl and I love it😊 you can also get a flat paddle attachment with spatula for the kmix. I have it and it is great.

[@judyrudyruby]

thanks for the video, I found it really helpful even though I bought my kmix half a year ago. back then I searched for a video like this because I wasn't sure if I should choose between the kitchen aid or mix. now after testing the kmix for a while I'm really happy with my decision. and the video showed me again that the kmix was the right one for me. I think it will be very helpful for many bakers out there which are in the same position as I were. thanks Jemma for inspiring me to bake, I really fell in love with my new hobby!

[@kaaydan9306]

A kitchen aid mixer is difficult to find in my country The Aucma is actually quite expensive here and the best we've got

[@blueberrys7165]

W e r e d u e y o u l i v e?

[@mabyyy485]

There is a place that doesn’t sell kitchen aid in every department stores??? 😱

[@gabak1292]

Try the SMEG better quality in manufacture. It also has the 1950 Design but the technology of today.

[@kaceyglitter]

I feel you friend. It’s hard to find in my country too. I can only get from retailers or neighbor country which is quite expensive. The only mixer that i can find here are the commercial Chinese mixer which is good in quality but i am not fond of the look. Luckily, my brother who live in the US got me Kitchenaid stand mixer at the discount price.
