Choosing a planetary mixer: Kenwood and Kitchen?

Good evening! Can I come to your subject?)
I am choosing a planetary mixer now and how difficult it was! After reading discussions, reviews, etc., I came to the conclusion that Kenwood and Kitchen are most praised.
I really want induction, but too expensive for me. I have roughly decided on the 7300s model, but in different stores they are unobtrusively discouraged from it. In one Mvideo they said that it is better to take the 5100T, there is no difference at all in the work, but only an extra 10 thousand rubles.
The representatives of the induction stand said that there is nothing better than induction, and the 7300s generally has backlash during operation.
In another Mvideo they said why Kenwood, this money is just a brand, better Bork or some kind of IMF ...
In short, they were completely confused, and the promotion with three nozzles as a gift will soon end ((
And then I found you! Maybe someone can tell you about 7300, like her, is it really so bad that it is really better to look at something else?
After all, she also costs decently. Well, for me, at least.

[Manon]

Manon,

Can I go to your topic

Sure you may! We are glad to welcome you! I think that by the morning the users of the model you have chosen will catch up and prompt. In which city did you see induction on sale in a store? Or am I already completely behind life for three days?



And who can match a car with a volume of 4.6 liters for you? There is a difference between these two models, there is both in power and in the configuration, but I probably would not consider the 4.6 liters, but looked at the 6.7 models!

I have roughly decided on the 7300s model, but in different stores they are unobtrusively discouraged from it.

Often (more precisely, always) in stores there is a plan for the sale of a specific product, based on which they persuade or dissuade.

If we compare directly 7300 and 5100, and only in terms of specifications (it's just that I personally won't tell you about the work, I have never seen them live at work, only on the shelf), then they have a difference in the design, configuration and materials of the nozzles.

The equipment issue is solved by replacing or purchasing attachments, although this is additional. money, albeit not immediately. But nevertheless, in 7300 planetary nozzles made of stainless steel, flexi and a souffleika are additionally included in the configuration. Not so few people prefer to buy a cheaper model, but over time, realizing what they want (if they want), for example, another hook, buy it in addition, thereby increasing the class of the car for less money.

The design issue is the final choice. The 7300 uses more expensive materials on the outside (there may be a similar engine inside, here's the question), and there is a backlight in the bowl.

Just first you need to answer the question - what load do you plan on the car? How often will you use it and for what purpose? If the family and the family are small, cook for yourself, and not several cakes a day for sale, then maybe 4.6 liters. the bowl is good. If the load and frequency of use are planned to be large, then you can think about induction by installments?

In short, they were completely confused, and the promotion with three nozzles as a gift will soon end ((

That's how much Kenwood I have, that's how long this promotion goes
Only the date is changed, urging to buy sooner. The only thing, usually 5100 in the stock, and not so long ago KVC7300S and KVL8300S were added.

If you look at the office. site, then they have news about attachments from the future - dated May 3, 2019! And the dates of the promotion are 09/17/2018 to 01/31/2019. Because they corrected the year (before 2018 was), and missed the month.
🔗

But in Mvideo, they better monitor this, update the dates on time. Before NG, the date was December 31, 2018. And now until December 31, 2019.

[Manon]

Manon, I have an old model Chef Titanium 4.6 liters.Already wrote above 1 portion of marshmallow is not included in the bowl! The mass runs over the edge. Just understand that you cannot use the entire volume of the bowl. Useful volume less than declared 4.6. the gearbox was changed in the second year of operation - they passed the hercules soaked in milk through a meat grinder; the gearbox died. If possible, I would buy it with induction. It's like a sewing machine with 50 stitches. Satin stitches are rarely needed, but very helpful!

[Manon]

Manon, I have a Titanium 7300s a little over a year and a half. Happy as an elephant. I'm not a pastry chef, but I bake something. The bowl is enough for the amount I need. Purchased not only because of the mixer (although, of course, because of it), but also as an assistant - grind, chop, chop. It turned out, also beat, rub, roll. And the grinder is great. I still don't need induction, but I wanted a smaller size. I bought it based on power and materials. Although, of course, you can't guess with breakdowns, then how lucky. And it hardly depends on the model. I have nothing backlash, no smell, moderate noise. For now, at least. That is, there are no complaints about the model. There are some attachments, but the attachments are common to the chefs.
Good luck with your choice!

Sure you may! We are glad to welcome you!

Thank you! 🤗

In which city did you see induction on sale in a store?

In Moscow) In Mega Belaya Dacha, opposite the OBI entrance, there is a demonstration stand. There are just 9060, 9040 and 7300. But it is not shown at all))

And who can match a car with a volume of 4.6 liters for you?

Yes, I myself))) purely for financial reasons. It's just that now I have a simple manual moulinex with a 2.5-liter bowl, if to the eyeballs, and this one is almost twice as deep)

Manon, I have a Titanium 7300s

Oooh, thanks a lot for the first-hand feedback!
Do you get a nozzle for a vegetable cutter and a meat grinder?

Just first you need to answer the question - what load do you plan on the car? How often will you use it and for what purpose?

In general, I cook a lot. For home and family. I also make custom-made cakes, but in small quantities, it happens that only one cake per month. Now I have started trying gingerbread, so I need to cope with the gingerbread dough. There are plans for marshmallow, I really want to try it, but I did not dare to use the old mixer.
Therefore, I thought, since I did everything with a 2.5 liter bowl for so many years, then with 4.6 it will definitely be better))

That's how much Kenwood I have, that's how long this promotion goes

Yes? Oh, you reassured me))) And then I'm all on my nerves while I was collecting money, and then a few days before the end of the action, I have panic, my relatives are pushing next to me, which only adds more panic)

Manon, I have an old 4.6 liter chef titanium model. Already wrote above 1 portion of marshmallow is not included in the bowl! The mass runs over the edge.

How many marshmallows do you usually get from a portion? It's just that I have never tried to do it yet, everything is in the plans. And can you do half a portion or is it a portion for 1 protein?

Therefore, I thought, since I did everything with a 2.5 liter bowl for so many years, then with 4.6 it will definitely be better))

4.6 this is to the edge, plus the whisk lowered down takes up space, that is, the real space for the mass to be whipped is about 3 liters. + -, but rather less. But there is still a lot of envy on the size of the kitchen and what the soul lies with. As far as I understand, you saw alive both the small and large bowl, the size of the machines. And we fell in love with 7300. And you need nozzles (there are many people who only have a mixer, all either with separate devices, or not).

I am in favor of induction, but I also do not dissuade from the choice made. The most important thing here is what you want, what do you dream about when you think about the car. The dreamed works better than the imposed

[Manon]

Manon,

Do you get a nozzle for a vegetable cutter and a meat grinder?

No, I have accumulated a lot: a food processor, a blender, a meat grinder, a rolling machine, a spirolizer, a small chopper, a sieve ... Somehow, in excitement, I bought something, gave something.

[NatalyaB]

NatalyaB, and what are your complaints?
I don’t trust juicers (except for the new one, which we don’t sell yet, there is no opinion), and the ice cream roulette. Even the drums of the grater have never attracted, and for a separate grinder, but these two are already personal, and not because the attachments are unsuccessful.

[Manon]

Manon, if there are marshmallows in the plans, then definitely a large bowl, from 1 portion of 250 g of puree 20 pieces of marshmallows come out, about 30-35 g each.

[Miranda]

Miranda, you are right, juicers. I don't like the centrifuge at all, and the berry press is not universal, and you often need to clean it. (For blanks and jelly, a sieve rescues). Therefore, I'm waiting for a new screw, reviews.
Not really like shredder on low speed socket. Purchased for blanks, since the kitchen layout does not allow high-speed use. Well, I don’t like it: some undefined pieces are obtained, I put them further away, I replace them with a cube cutter or a processor.
Complaints about the food processor appeared after dropping it from a 40-centimeter height - and cranks: fragile light plastic and a heavy handle, no chance: the handle just ripped out a piece of plastic. Somehow ill-considered. But these are already details.

Yes, a food processor is also not suitable for minced meat: before Kenwood, minced meat was made in a Philips processor, which was cheap. Excellent, it was enough to stop at the desired consistency. And Kenwood grinds unevenly, a certain amount is obtained in the form of a paste. But it's good that I bought a meat grinder attachment! So, I get around.

i.e. the real space for the whipped mass is about 3 liters. + -, but rather less. But there is still a lot of envy on the size of the kitchen and what the soul lies with. As far as I understand, you saw alive both the small and large bowl, the size of the machines. And we fell in love with 7300.

Well, yes, a little ...
And so, not that the soul lies, just from what they sell in official stores this is something in between. 5100 is the weakest, 8300 is already expensive, well, induction is quite expensive. If only in the unofficial search for older models.

I have accumulated a lot

Great! I was initially inclined to take a meat grinder, a blender and some kind of grater or cube cutter as a gift.
But then I read that there are problems with the meat grinder and that it is better, because of the loads on them, to take a separate one. Cubes also seem to be needed more often for Olivier, that is, not so often. Therefore, while I'm leaning towards a vegetable cutter and something else) I have not yet met any reviews about blenders, whether they are strong enough to cope with herbs, for example, for smoothies.

1 portion for 250 g of puree leaves 20 pieces of marshmallows about 30-35 g each

Oh, and the truth is very little (
But on the other hand, I don't know if I can make a marshmallow at all)))

Not really like shredder on low speed socket.

What is this? Which, like a cube cutter, is attached from above or like a meat grinder with round graters?

Which is attached like a cube cutter from above or like a meat grinder with round graters?

Above - is it a cube cutter or a spiralizer? These are normal, although not essential. And I do not like the drum, like a meat grinder.

[Manon]

Manon, with Kenwood, the marshmallow will definitely work out

Above - is it a cube cutter or a spiralizer?

No, it's called a vegetable cutter attachment. Similar to a cube cutter, only with disc graters, as in a processor with a bowl.
Yes, for some reason drumming did not inspire confidence.

with Kenwood, the marshmallow will definitely work out

Suuper! 😊

[Manon]

Manon, I have been using it for 10 years! I have the first-023 (6.7L) nozzles, which I often use

• Food processor
• Cups
  
• The grater is drum
  
• Dough sheeter
  
  • Citrus juicer
  
  

[Manon]

with a meat grinder and there are problems and what is better, because of the loads on them, take a separate one. Cubes also seem to be needed more often for Olivier, that is, not so often.

The meat grinder attachment is good from KM Kenwood, do not doubt it.
If you already have a separate good one, then the attachment may not be needed. And if so far there is no good one, then the attachment will not disappoint.

Cubic cutter.
It is used not only for Olivier, but also for any vinaigrettes, vegetable stews, soups, for seasonal preparations - seaming and freezing.
For many, it is always at hand.
I rarely use it, because I don’t do much preparation, and for a small amount of salads, an alligator is enough for me, but I’m not going to get rid of the cube.

Manon, try to read the topics at least diagonally, and many questions will disappear from you.
Good luck!

[Manon]

Manon, uh, well, it's on the high speed jack. I have so much worth a km that it is impossible to use a high-speed vegetable cutter: from the rear - the edge of the curbstone, a cliff, and it is difficult to turn the car. That's why I didn't buy it. But, in general, for my purposes, there are still enough cutting graters.
____
Now, like Buridanov's donkey, I thought about the noodle cutter. I have been thinking for a long time. Two - a lot, not so often will be needed. But the smallest (for talolini) or larger, so that the width is 3.5 mm, is it more versatile? You can never cut the smallest by hand, for sure, but even wider it is difficult to evenly. Eh, in general!

The meat grinder attachment is good from KM Kenwood, do not doubt it.

Yes!

It is used not only for Olivier, but also for any vinaigrettes, vegetable stews, soups, for seasonal preparations - seaming and freezing.

For salads, the cubes are big for me, I hardly make any blanks, but this year I rehabilitated her: I made quince jam. Stew is good.

[Manon]

And so, not that the soul lies, just from what they sell in official stores this is something in between. 5100 is the weakest, 8300 is already expensive, well, induction is quite expensive.

Manon, consider the golden mean - Kenwood class cars Elite (https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...911.0).
The choice, of course, is up to you, but with a larger bowl it is better.

[NatalyaB]

NatalyaB, about the same opinion.
I made minced meat in a food processor, but once as an experiment. My conclusion is that it all depends on the quantity and how to do it - at a constant speed or through the pulse. And how far the meat is cleaned or is it generally chicken. And so with a knife I make a sausage emulsion, when a small number of ingredients (and when a large number, then laziness in batches), I grind everything.

And so, not that the soul lies, just from what they sell in official stores this is something in between. 5100 is the weakest, 8300 is already expensive, well, induction is quite expensive.

The modern line looks like this (from junior to senior): Chef Sense -> Chef (without additional words) -> Chef Elite -> Chef Titanium -> Cooking Chef

Each series (except for cooking) has a small and a large bowl (then there is XL in the name). Chef Sense is available in two versions - regular (5000) and color (5100), the difference between them is in power (5100 has more) and in the form of planetary attachments (whisk, K-shaped and hook).

But color Sense XL is not officially sold in Russia, and the average excellent Elite model of any size. And Chef (without additional words) almost disappears if the remains are found. That is, in fact, three options are left in the office for sale - the younger, the flagship without induction, Titanium, and induction. So choose, as they say.

The younger one is not that weak, but still for smaller loads, purely for the home / family, with ordinary cooking for every day. And many are satisfied.

[Olenka]

The meat grinder is good at KM Kenwood,

Oh Olenka, sorry .. forgot! Of course she comes first! For more than 10 years, no complaints at all, but I cook a lot! Now more confectionery, but the sausage has not stopped making!

consider the golden mean - Kenwood Elite class cars

This is really the golden mean. But in Russia it is not sold anywhere at all, even unofficially. The choice is small both among the models themselves and among the options within the line (i.e., different configurations with additional attachments such as a blender, a meat grinder).

[Miranda]

... in Russia it is not sold anywhere, even unofficially. The choice is small both among the models themselves and among the options within the line

Miranda, very sad, but this year they promise. The choice is very small, almost none. And what is meant by "unofficially", shops and online stores are everyday life. technology? Can, Manon, send to 🔗, 44% discount. There is also a small bowl, but no discount.

[Peter Push]

Peter Push, it is better not from the German version of the site, but from the Russian where the European VAT is deducted. 🔗

Officially, what is certified for domestic sale and what the warranty covers. And unofficially - gray supplies past certification, past VAT. That is why Kenwood changes 1-2 digits in the name to track local parties.

[Miranda]

Miranda, yes you are right, I did not delve into these subtleties, I googled the store and that's it. Good option and excellent km.

[Miranda]

not everyone is willing to drop the 5-year warranty

Miranda, we have given information for thought, let Manon weighs the pros and cons. The discount is tempting. But only for a car with a large bowl, and she still wants a smaller one.

Girls, thank you very much, so much information, just a treasure!

The modern line looks like this

Thanks for the clarification, it turns out 7300 is almost the oldest, before induction.

Manon, try to read the topics at least diagonally, and many questions will disappear from you.

Yes, I regret that I did not get to this forum earlier, I will try, if possible, to view everything.

If you already have a separate good one, then the attachment may not be needed. And if so far there is no good one, then the attachment will not disappoint.

Oh, thanks for the meat grinder tip! There is a separate one, but it is old and weak at all. I planned a new one, I wanted it in the form of a nozzle, then I was afraid of something, even here somewhere, it seems, I read that it was better to buy a separate Axion, wrote it down for myself, but I haven't looked, now I'll think about it))

This is really the golden mean. But in Russia it is not sold anywhere at all, even unofficially.

I wonder why this is so? ((If the model is very good?

it is better not from the German version of the site, but from the Russian where the European VAT is deducted.

That is, you can order from Germany, even do that ?? Well, I am completely behind the times. And the price for the elite is two times lower than for the titanium here. How do they pay?
But it turns out that there is a minus that there is no guarantee and nozzles as a gift?

But yes, there is something to think about.

we have given information for thought, let Manon weigh the pros and cons.

Yes, that's for sure, thanks again, girls !!!

better buy a separate Axion

I also bought Axion separately ... it's day and night! You will not get the same result on Axion NEVER! Compared a million hundred thousand times!

I wonder why this is so? ((If the model is very good?

Because then some model won't be on sale. It is believed that it is problematic for our person to give a choice - the middle is poorly sold, he will either take the cheapest, arguing why to overpay, or the most expensive (often on credit), persuading himself that I will only pay a little, but better .. Foreign people are able to choose exactly according to your needs and finances (such an opinion). They also have more configuration options - just a car, a car + a blender + a meat grinder, a car + 5-6 attachments. Not as gifts, but in the package.

Or another answer - the Russian division is simply too lazy to build different marketing programs for different models. Therefore, the variety is reduced to nothing, instead of 4 rulers + induction, there are only two rulers - the younger, the senior, and induction.

And the price for the elite is two times lower than for the titanium here.

If you follow my link, then there is still a minus of almost 5 thousand rubles, since the deduction of European VAT. Elite differs from Titanium - there is no flexi and souffleika, no illumination in the bowl. Their bowls are slightly different in design (measuring scale inside, handles, emblem, but this is insignificant in general). The design of the car itself and some other insignificant little things. But the main thing - flexi and souffleika + backlight - this is a real monetary difference.

But the most important thing is

this is the price of a bare car without extra. nozzles (planetary in a mandatory configuration, they are included in the "naked"). Take a look at Kenwood's official multilingual site, a must-have for every country and this site keeps track of the headquarters.In the Russian version, the recommended price is completely different. 🔗

All these "attachments" as a gift are included in the price. The small Titanium is not 55, but 43, the big Titanium is not 60, but 47. These 12-13 thousand plus - and there are nozzles "as a gift", well, at least with a discount. And Sense is also not worth 45 thousand + 3 nozzles as a gift. He in other countries, even in Ukraine, naked costs 26-29 thousand (depends on the country and currency).

Therefore, the German naked Elite, minus the European VAT (18 or 19%), is twice cheaper than the Russian Titanium + supposedly gift tips. But not much cheaper than a naked Titanium in Germany.

[zvezda]

zvezda, I do not have a meat grinder attachment, I can not compare, but I am satisfied with Axion. I do not like the idea of ​​attaching the attachment to the end of the head, and even pressing with a pusher. Well, here's a personal phobia. Therefore, I have only two nozzles for a low-speed nest - a light mill, where you don't need to press anything, the grain slides off by itself, and a cube cutter, because you can't go anywhere without it.

I also bought Axion separately ... it's day and night! You will not get the same result on Axion NEVER! Compared a million hundred thousand times!

How can I understand!? I have both ... very happy !!!

[Miranda]

I do not like the idea of ​​attaching the attachment to the end of the head, and even pressing with a pusher.

I am also very pleased with the meat grinder, I do not push meat, it tightens itself, only soaked and squeezed bread. When I push, I hold my head. The only complaint about the meat grinder is the equipment. I would like a disc with two or three holes for slicing meat for homemade sausages and a brush for cleaning. Could and could have completed with a pair of pasta nozzles, even plastic ones.

Or another answer - the Russian division is simply too lazy to build different marketing programs for different models. Therefore, the variety is reduced to nothing, instead of 4 rulers + induction, there are only two rulers - the younger, the senior, and induction.

Miranda, it is difficult to disagree with this. Although the first option is correct, for us, the more expensive the product, the better.
Premium class is Premium class. And the backlight, and the bowl, and plugs with magnets, and 5 planetary attachments are good. But, in order not to punch a hole in the family budget, and you can safely do without them.
About Elite, some online stores sold Elite with a partially plastic body and attachments like the Premier, a cache and a hook (old model) from silumin. The price is 40% lower, the appearance is the same. I don't see them now.

[Lena]

How can I understand

Lena that's it and that and others! I'm happy with Axion, but I can't compare with Kesha (on sausages, for example). The person chooses either .. or! That's when And, that's great! : girl_dance: Nobody makes mashed tomatoes better than Axion.

But, in order not to punch a hole in the family budget, and you can safely do without them.

Backlighting is good for those who have a culinary blog for photos and videos. Well, maybe even a dark kitchen and / or poor eyesight. In other cases, as for me - show-off, albeit pleasant. And here + two planetary nozzles are a real plus (you can buy it for other models). But the difference in price is the difference in price. The Titanium has more amenities than the Elite, but the motor itself and the material of the planetary attachments are the same. So they are quite comparable models in terms of functionality. It is a pity that they are not sold in Russia.

In Ukraine, there is now a very good offer - Elite with a large bowl + blender + food processor + multi-shredder for 19 thousand hryvnia in the office. store. This is approximately 46.5-47 thousand rubles. We only have Sense with a small bowl for 45 thousand + 3 nozzles as a gift. Incomparable! 🔗

Elite with a partially plastic body and attachments like the Premier, a keshka and a hook (old model) from silumin.

Either the old version (after all, there were names like Titanium 20 years ago), or an error in the description.

I'm happy with Axion, but I can't compare with Kesha (on sausages, for example).

In general, I cannot compare any meat grinder on sausages with a sausage syringe.It is inconvenient for me to stuff sausage in any meat grinder.

In general, I cannot compare any meat grinder on sausages with a sausage syringe. It is inconvenient for me to stuff sausage in any meat grinder.

After I bought a sausage syringe, I completely stopped using meat grinders for stuffing sausages. But how long I doubted whether to buy a syringe or not!

[Miranda]

Miranda, and I never got a syringe! so far I have adapted, but I keep in my head .. What do you have, send me .. please

[zvezda]

But how long I doubted whether to buy a syringe or not!

Me too, but now I can’t imagine it as a meat grinder. The syringe is ten times faster and a thousand times lighter.

zvezda, here is my little one. But I think about big things, although not in a hurry at all, so I can get ready for a couple of years - the little one does an excellent job. Sausage syringe

In Ukraine, there is now a very good offer - Elite with a large bowl + blender + food processor + multi-shredder for 19 thousand hryvnia in the office. store. This is approximately 46.5-47 thousand rubles.

Whoa! Very good indeed. It's a pity, they have delivery only in Ukraine. At least ask someone to bring it))
After all, Ukraine is closer than Germany.

[Manon]

Manon, I use some carriers, but usually this is a bag back and forth for a fixed amount, a lot of weight is expensive - $ 6 per kg. Under 10 thousand such a package will cost. Although they are fast - 2-3 days. And for 600 or 700 rubles. will bring home. You can google the carriers more. In private, only attachments can be negotiated, and a private trader is unlikely to take a large box of a car on a train / plane.

[Miranda]

Miranda, well, yes, a little expensive, it will turn out to be 3 thousand less than the titanium 8300.
My neighbor sometimes flies to Kiev, I thought to ask her, but it's true, such a large and heavy box, it's inconvenient to load)

[Manon]

My neighbor sometimes flies to Kiev, I thought to ask her, but it's true, such a large and heavy box, it's inconvenient to load)

Manon, there is no air communication between Kiev and Moscow since 2015. Only through Minsk. Belavia airline. Carry-on baggage. Belavia airline limits the size of hand luggage for business class and economy class passengers to one unit with dimensions of 55x40x20 cm. At the same time, business class passengers can take on board hand luggage weighing up to 12 kg, and in economy class - up to 8 kg. Luggage. Belavia Airlines uses the weight concept of baggage transportation on its flights. Business class passengers can check in several items with a total weight of up to 30 kg for free. the dimensions of each place should not exceed 50x50x100 cm.
Economy class passengers of Belavia can also check in several items, but their total weight should not exceed 20 kg. Each piece of baggage must not be more than 50x50x100 cm.

And the guarantee probably does not cover the same. With such troubles, it is better to buy in Germany, it will take longer, there are fewer body movements.
