Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Kenwood KM800 Major Classic Stand Mixer
Customer Review: Broke after a few day's use
Summary: 1 Stars
The motor died in the middle of kneading a 3 loaf batch of bread. Before it broke I liked it a lot better than my previous KitchenAid and KTech, but it only lasted a month, so obviously I don't like it any more! Maybe that one was a lemon, my friends certainly never had any problems with theirs.
Description of Kenwood KM800 Major Classic Stand Mixer
With 650 watts of power, rugged all-metal casing and gears, and a half-century of British engineering and experience behind it, this stand mixer--among the most powerful on the market--has an international reputation for reliability, versatility, and durability. Both it and Kenwood's 5-quart, 650-watt Chef Classic grace many a household and professional kitchen. All Kenwood mixers feature "planetary" action: tools rotate in one direction, while the tool socket rotates in the other, guaranteeing thorough mixing.In addition to the standard fixture for inserting beater, whisk, and dough hook, Kenwood mixers have three other outlets (concealed when not in use) to accommodate some 25 attachments such as a potato peeler, juicer, slicer/shredder, pasta maker, and sausage maker (the attachments must be purchased separately). Included with the mixer are a nonstick beater and dough hook, a stainless-steel bowl and balloon whisk, a flexible plastic spatula, a booklet containing 75 recipes, and a transparent, hinged splashguard (and dust cover) for easily adding ingredients during mixing.
At 13-3/4 inches high by 16 inches deep by 9-3/8 inches wide (with the bowl in place) and weighing about 20 pounds, this is a substantial appliance. But despite its size and power, it is not intimidating to operate. As the instructions (admirably brief and clear) make plain, the mixer's virtues include simplicity. Push a lever and the mixer head pops up and locks. Insert, twist, and snap beater, whisk, or dough hook into place. (A simple twist unlocks them.) Lock bowl on its stand. The electronic speed control maintains constant power regardless of the load, and power can be adjusted through eight speeds--or pulsed--with a twist of a dial. Overloading automatically stops the mixer. To clean, wipe the outside and wash the tools and bowl in soapy water. Though the warranty against defects runs just one year, this mixer should provide a lifetime of kitchen convenience--and earn the neighbors' envy. --Fred Brack
