    New Kenwoods have electronic speed control. So rather than the motor slowing down when the workload from kneading the dough increases, the electronic controller just increases the power. So the speed should stay the same but you do hear the motor and mechanicals working harder. My KMC510 has a 1000w motor which is over 1.3hp in old money. Quite powerful and more than most mains electric drills so most of the time it will be just idling. We have the mincer accessory and that also gives it some work - rest of the time making a sponge etc it's having a holiday.

    A google threw up some interesting kneading videos (with sound):-

    Does anyone else find that when they make bread at a faster speed their machine wobbles around? I was making bread at just above 3 today and I had to hold on to it otherwise it would have ended up on the floor!
  • Mine wobbled a little, but it stayed where it should on the work top. I only mix one loaf at a time tho. :)

    I bought an a901 from a charity shop earlier in the year. I haven't made bread yet but dying to try it. I asked for a splashguard for Christmas, i made buttercream in it and it went everywhere. I need to make a cover for it really, don't want it getting toil dusty, i do like looking at it though!

    Just happened to come across this program on ITV 4pm to 5pm. They visit 4 bakeries and part of the challenge was bread making. Also sausage rolls and cakes. You see some big mixers (same planetary action as Kenwoods) being used as well as hand kneading. Its a competition and on most nights it seems.

    Edit} also seems available on ITV Player
