Also, does anyone have any tips…

Kenwood Kenmix - are they any good?
A Kenwood chef simply isn't in the budget and I'm having no joy with Freecycle thus far. Is the Kenwood Kenmix any good? I know it won't be as beefy as a Chef, but for a single girl I can cope with that. Mostly, I want to know if the Kenmix will stand up to kneading bread dough - anybody have one?
