Pros & Cons
Pros
Kenwood hand held mixer is to replace one that started like a formula one race car. Works well for whipping - meringue - and slow - rye sour dough, with the dough hook. Comes with attachments for kneading dough /bread making but have yet to use them.
This model is more powerful, quieter and has a greater range of speeds. It has a pulse button for superfast whisking.
Cons
The kenwood hand mixer is not worth buying. Only used it 5 or 6 times to mix cake batter. Poor quality standards if mixing soft cake mix, this happens.
Total waste of money. Total rubbish. It’s very noisy and poor quality.
Highlights
Quality
It is easy to operate and change speeds, it has a pulse button on the top and also the bit i really liked was a button to eject the blades.
Easy to use, i've made cakes, bread dough and yorkshire puddings.

Competitiveness
I don’t believe there are many mixers available with a 450w power rating at this price.

Nothing seems to have changed much in that time other than more speed variations

A decent cord length at 1m 10cm another i bought was far too short and although slightly heavier this is far more powerful
