After years of coveting a Kitchenaid I got one, and to be honest I am disapointed. It doesnt do everything I want without all the extra bit. Previously I had a Kenwood for 25 years and it chopped, mix batter, bread, did everything. I miss it but it never looked as cool as the kitchenAid does.
I have a Kenwood, but when you mix small quantities of cake batter the K-attachment does not reach to the bottom of the bowl so you have to get in there and stir it manually.
If I purchase again it would be a different brand...
Not sure if they are available here, but Magimix is much better than either of your choices.
Sorry, just read your post properly. Out of these two, Kenwood.
