Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Kenwood KM410 Chef Classic 5-Quart Stand Mixer
Customer Review: A great machine
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using my chef model KM201 which is essentially the same as the one currently available since 1996. I lucked out and got it at Walmart for $75. Only because I had seen it in the Chef's catalog did I have any idea what a powerful machine this would be. Actually mine has the Rival logo on it, but it is the very same machine. It has the 5 quart bowl, the K beater, the dough hook, and the balloon whisk. Mostly I have used the K beater and the dough hook.
I have used it for making bread, cakes, and cookies. The French bread recipe in the recipe booklet is terrific. It's just as good as sourdough bread without having to make the starter, etc.
The only time it ever quit on me was recently when I was adding coconut to oatmeal cookie dough. It may not have done that if I'd had sense enough to change to the dough hook when adding the coconut. Anyway, even the reset button was of no use, but my handy husband was able to take it apart and repair it. Don't know what he did. I've never had to use the reset button before.
I didn't like the sharp rim on the stainless steel bowl that came with it and was lucky enough that I was able to get their plastic bowl before the company was taken over by Cuisinart.
My only other complaint is having to stop the machine and scrape the bowl sides before adding other ingredients. However, I've seen that complaint about other planetary motion mixers so I guess I'll just have to live with it. That's the only reason my rating is only 4 stars instead of 5. It truly is a workhorse.
Description of Kenwood KM410 Chef Classic 5-Quart Stand Mixer
Industrial-strength and extremely versatile, the Kenwood Chef Classic is a boon to bakers and cooks alike. It's ideal for cookie and cake doughs, pizza and bread doughs, and gourmet sauces and desserts, such as chocolate mousse. Three attachments, instructions, and a recipe booklet are included to get you started down the gourmet path. The machine features three additional power outlets for up to 20 attachments.Attachments include a "K-Beater" for making cakes, biscuits, pastry, icing, fillings, eclairs, and mashed potatoes; a whisk, perfect for eggs, cream, batters, meringues, cheesecakes, mousses, and soufflés; and a dough hook, which is handy for heavier mixtures, such as breads, rolls, and pizza dough.
The mixer comes with overload protection to keep you from overdoing it. And options are nearly boundless with the wide range of attachments you can add, including citrus juicer, slicer/shredder, ice cream maker, potato peeler, coffee grinder, pasta maker, mincer, and more. If that's not enough, adaptors include a sausage maker, kebbe maker, fine grater, and cookie maker.
Be sure not to submerge the power unit in water; it's easy enough to wipe clean with a nonabrasive cloth or sponge. The bowl should be hand-washed to keep the surface glossy, but attachments can go in the dishwasher. --Matthew Evans
