Kenwood Chef - which to buy?

Kim_Possible

thanks piglet.

Premier it is then- as I answered "No" to all your questions!
Argos didnt mention the liquidizer and I doubt it will come down in price again before Christmas.
I think ill either buy from amazon or site you recommened.
And ill look into getting some attachments in the future as most recommend them as very useful.

Just watch Argos if you aren't in a rush as the voucher offer should be on again at least once before Christmas.

Errr can I recommend not looking at all the attachments and then deciding that you really HAVE to have all of them...

The hand finished model looks lovely and it comes with a stainless steel liquidiser http://www.electricshopping.com/kenwood-stainless-steel-liquidiser.html I really want one of these!

I would have LOVED a Kitchen Aid (still would - but a pretty coloured one!). They do a nice range of attachments and because their drive mechanism is different to Kenwood they tend to be quieter. Plus I seem to remember that their aftersales service is very good. (Can you see how much I wanted one )

However, IIRC, there is an entry level model that isn't the ordinary Artisan model, it comes in white only and is popular in the US. I found quite a lot of reviews that seemed to indicate that people felt that it was underpowered and that making bread was problematic.

In the end I felt that as I couldn't afford the normal Artisan model then I would stick with the Kenwood Chef.

Not sure if that helps at all but that was my train of thought when I was looking.

thanks Piglet,

Im kind of highjacking this "Kenwood" thread with talk of Kitchen Aid! sorry
I have untill tonight to pay, so Ive been reading the reviews on amazon - all positive.
I never thought id be lucky on amazon deals- now decisions! I know im lucky to get it at 150.00, if it had been even more drastically cheaper id buy it no question!
btw its a white classic.
However with a 50.00 difference with kenwood premier- its a tough one.

Have you priced the attachments? I seem to remember that there was a difference in the pricing but I can't remember which way around.

You need to be a bit careful with the reviews, it's often difficult to tell which model people are reviewing.

Good luck whatever you go for!
