It's a classic for a reason – the KitchenAid Stand Mixer looks the part on a worktop, and if it's good enough for Nigella and the Bake Off tent, it's good enough for us. The KitchenAid works quietly and efficiently, making mixing and kneading easy so you can try out new bakes with confidence. Reviews say it's easy to clean and feels really sturdy. You can also buy attachments for making pasta and ice cream.
If you have even the faintest interest in baking, you'll need a stand mixer on your worktop. It will tackle the hard slog of kneading dough, blending cake mix or whipping buttercream icing.
This particular model has what's called a 'planetary action', which means it turns in ovals, not full circles, making sure everything is blended evenly and the mix doesn't stick to the sides – bad luck bowl lickers!
Three tools are included – a flat beater for cake batters, a dough hook for, erm, dough, and a 6-wire whip for beating eggs and cream. It also has ten speed settings, giving you full control over every baking task. Use a low setting for kneading bread or pizza dough or folding delicate cake mixtures and the highest speeds for whipping up meringues.

You can fit the bowl with a protective splashguard, which makes it safe to add ingredients while the mixer is in motion. If you've ever had a face full of flour or a worktop sprayed with icing sugar, you'll know how crucial this can be.
