Salter EK4245BLACK Stand Mixer with 6 Speed Settings, 5 L, Includes Whisk, Dough Hook, Beater, Removable Splash Guard, 1200 W, Perfect For Cakes & Bread, Stainless Steel/Black, Aluminium

I ordered this after months of comparing. I wanted something compact but powerful and this fit the purpose. It’s not too heavy to lift, has good suction feet so it is anti slip and fits neatly into one of my kitchen cupboards for storage away.I used it for making a sponge cake for the first time today and was surprised how quiet it was. It’s a great mixer, so far. Great price fromA well known brand so hopeful going forward. Based on early use I’d highly recommend it.

Great little mixer that really does take the hard work out of making bread dough.

I bought this because of the reasonable price and because it is made by Salter who are a known kitchen scales maker. I looked at other makes in detail and could have bought a machine with all sorts of gadget attachments for not much more but who really wants a mincer or sausage maker when you just make cakes.The machine is much lighter and smaller than I thought it would be which is a bonus as it doesn’t take up much room in the cupboard or worktop and is very easy to move about. At the same time, it is very stable it doesn’t move when in use.Up to now I have been using an old hand mixer and flour and icing sugar has literally gone all over the kitchen. I used my new mixer with the shield and everything stayed in the bowl. Although relatively small, the bowl is quite deep and can easily take enough ingredients for making a cake. It doesn’t come with a blender attachment but I wanted a standalone blender anyway so this didn’t bother me.I made Yorkshire puddings for my first try out and have to say that they came out a lot better than if I had done them by hand. I did have to scrape the bottom of the bowl to make sure all the flour was mixed in but other reviewers for other mixers have mentioned this as well.I would recommend this to others who are looking for a reasonably priced mixer which does what it says it will do.

Looks more expensive than it is. Attachments a bit small. Overall happy with it.

The dough paddle feels a little flimsy, not solid metal but overall very happy!

The machine mixes cake mixtures lovely ... I haven't yet managed to attach the "cover guard" nor used the other hooks

I use this stand mixer for baking cakes and bread. It's great. The dough blade is a bit hard to install compared to the whisk blade and the cake blade. The only criticism is the noise when it's turned on.

Love it. Works really well. Doesn't rumble at all, and Doesn't make too much noise.
