What stand mixers are fabbers using?

Im looking for a bit of an all in one soulution tbh.

So mixer dough hook etc but also attachments for meat grinder and ideally food processor

Had the kenwood titanium highly recomended as a work horse which seems good 1500w and cheaper than the kitchen aid which gets bad reviews on attachments especialy meat gridner leaving a grey metal shaving in the meat).

But wondering if theres others people use?

Ive seen ice cream maker attachment bowls for the KA and kenwood but im curious if theres a model that has heating and cooling for making some more sophisticated things.

I didn't think there was anything that could do it all, I only have a processor. If there's heavy duty cake mixing to be done I call in the fwb!

Well i mean all with atachments the kenwood has a top and front one so should do a good range but i csnt find reviews for the accessories

My friend says she did over 10kg of ravioli dough in batches in one. I know that would kill a kitchen aid artisan.

A little part of me does think some jerry rigging with an induction plate or a peltier could make a heating cooling solution but would be a bit u sightly

My processor is a Kenwood - and that's over 30 yrs old now, so I don't think you can beat the brand.

"KitchenAid with a few different attachments"

See i really like the kitchen aid but the artisan id a bit naff the professional bowlift models above are really gold though but very expensive (600+) before attachments the KA grinder has some very bad problems but a smokehouse company in the usa makes a full SS version but is about 200 once imported.

So im just not sure its worth the outlay for a decent ka plus attachments (hoe does the processor hold up being front mounted?) vs a less name brand and a much larger atachments selection

Ive ben umming and ahhing about 12 konths noe

Not technically the best from a pro-point of view but I wanted one in a certain colour and bought it.

Parts are vastly cheaper stateside so I buy attachments there on my travels.

If I had to buy a new one, I'd be torn whether to buy a new one or find a more professional one my attachments fit.

I used to be a chef and I'd still do it but IT pays a hell of a lot more

We bought one from Lidl many years ago which is still (touch wood) going strong.

Scarlett makes cakes, biscotti and I make bread using it. Not a statement piece that can be left on the counter for all to see how much you’ve paid for something but it does a wonderful job and lives in the cupboard with the toaster, blender and sandwich maker.

James Martin made pasta on his show last week with a pasta machine attachment to roll it thin stuck on his Kitchen Aid. I had such gadget envy!

I’ve got a Kitchen Aid. And got the Icecream bowl, used it a couple of times but not since last summer. It’s nice making your own Icecream But when you see the ingredients going in? You start to think about your health. .

I love my KA, it was a pricey item but the best gift ever and use it regularly, as it’s in the counter top all the time, it encourages my littlest to bake all the time too.

I’ve even made my mashed potatoes in it, because I can.
