In addition to the 4.7L glass mixing bowl, the Bakery Boss™ comes standard with a second 3.8L polished stainless mixing bowl for better processing of smaller quantities. 12 speed electronic control

Well, it’s safe to say that we’re writers divided. On the one hand, we have an impressive and iconic KitchenAid stand mixer, loved by the bakers on The Great British Bake Off and professional bakers alike. On the other hand, we have a cheaper alternative that has twice the power but doesn’t look as stylish. Alongside some classic accessories including a wire balloon whisk, flat beater and dough hook, the Titanium Chef Baker also comes with digital, built-in weighing scales. While integrated scales might seem like an unnecessary luxury, having the ability to weigh directly into your mixing bowl is a huge benefit, not only saving on time but also on washing up. The scales also double as a timer, which is ideal if you’re keen to keep mixing and kneading times as precise as possible. Key specs – Power: 250W; Capacity: 3.3l; Speed settings: 10; Attachments: Dough hook, flat beater, wire whip Overall, this is an impressively versatile and stylish machine, and well worth splashing out on if you want those extra features and increased capacity. Our next business day delivery cut-off time is 3pm Mon > Friday and 11am on Saturdays (DPD now collect from us Monday > Saturday).The flexible edge on this revolutionary beater wipes the sides and bottom of the bowl with every turn, cutting down mixing time by 60% and making clean up a snap. In testing, we found digital screen to be a nice touch but it can lag at times. There are several preset options you can scroll through on-screen for both mixing and melting, or you can set times and warmth levels manually. In the box you get a large, stainless steel balloon whisk, a dough hook and a beater/scraper, as well as a huge 7-litre warming bowl and 5-litre classic bowl. All of these are also dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning.

Few modern mixers match this handsome retro beauty for style or blending efficiency. Granted, it has fewer high-tech bells and whistles than some of its competitors but you'll reap the benefits in reliability, durability, efficiency and, above all, ease of use. Another brilliant feature of this mixer is that it has not one but two separate accessory outlets, one for slow-speed attachments (pasta roller, meat mincer and grinding mill) and the other for high-speed accessories (food processor, glass blender and compact chopper). You can also buy optional beaters designed specifically for creaming and folding.

The Bakery Boss comes loaded with everything required of the British Baking Show-wannabe: a 4.7-litre glass borosilicate microwave-safe bowl, an additional 3.8 litre stainless steel bowl and an abundance of tools, including a scraper beater with rubber edges to catch errant ingredients on the side of the bowl, a dough hook, a flat beater for heavier batters and a huge whisk. To make healthy eating as easy as possible, we’ve developed a range of innovative, one-touch, powerful smoothie blenders and super blenders that will mix, spin and deliver all the goodness your body needs to feel its best. Capacity: like batch baking for cake sales? You’ll need a larger bowl capacity and perhaps a more powerful mechanism that will plough through larger volumes of mixture. Buy the biggest machine you can afford that will fit in your kitchen. Key specs – Power: 800W; Capacity: 4.8l; Speed settings: 10; Attachments: Stainless steel wire whisk, aluminium flat beater, flex edge beater, aluminium dough hook Accessories include a scraper beater which continuously scrapes down the sides and bottom of the bowl for through mixing, a flat beater for cakes, biscuits and mashed potato, a dough hook for effective kneading of bread and pizza dough and a whisk for mixing and aerating lighter batters, cream and egg whites.Our master baker, a dyed-in-the-wool KitchenAid devotee, loved pretty much everything about this mixer, especially the easy attachment mounting method, the spring-loaded arm-raising mechanism, the twin handle 4.6-litre bowl, the electronic speed controller and, of course, that brilliant bowl light. Some stand mixers have power points on the top or above the bowl for attaching accessories like spiralizers, meat grinders and more. This is a handy space-saving option as it does away with the need for multiple appliances. Results of functions: A machine that efficiently mixed all the ingredients at the same time was a staple requirement. We looked for pavlova mixes that were glossy and well-whisked, cake mixes that were light with evenly distributed zest and finally, well-risen dough that was soft and light when baked.
