Sage the Bakery Boss Stand mixer 1200 W Aluminium

Product Information

Few modern mixers match this handsome retro beauty for style or blending efficiency. Granted, it has fewer high-tech bells and whistles than some of its competitors but you'll reap the benefits in reliability, durability, efficiency and, above all, ease of use.

Versatility: stand mixers can work hard with the right attachments, which include everything from pasta rollers to sausage makers. Study the number of bolt-on accessories available if you want to use your machine frequently for lots of kitchen tasks. In testing, we found digital screen to be a nice touch but it can lag at times. There are several preset options you can scroll through on-screen for both mixing and melting, or you can set times and warmth levels manually. In the box you get a large, stainless steel balloon whisk, a dough hook and a beater/scraper, as well as a huge 7-litre warming bowl and 5-litre classic bowl. All of these are also dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. Whether you’re a fan of The Great British Bake Off , a seasoned baker or you just fancy flexing your baking muscles at home, there’s simply no two ways about it – you need a stand mixer. The best stand mixers help you to be a better cook: they take the hard work out of mixing cakes and batter, and even knead bread dough so you don’t have to. Our master baker, a dyed-in-the-wool KitchenAid devotee, loved pretty much everything about this mixer, especially the easy attachment mounting method, the spring-loaded arm-raising mechanism, the twin handle 4.6-litre bowl, the electronic speed controller and, of course, that brilliant bowl light. Our Editor-in-Chief Heather Young summoned it up well when she said 'I love my Kenwood kMix, but I store it away when not in use. If it was out on my countertop I'd probably have gone for the Kitchenaid.'

The verdict: Stand mixers

In terms of cleaning, both the KitchenAid and the Kenwood offer something that many of their predecessors didn’t have: their attachments are dishwasher safe. This means that you can pop everything from the bowls to the whisks into the dishwasher and feel confident that they’ll come out sparkling clean. Accessories include a scraper beater which continuously scrapes down the sides and bottom of the bowl for through mixing, a flat beater for cakes, biscuits and mashed potato, a dough hook for effective kneading of bread and pizza dough and a whisk for mixing and aerating lighter batters, cream and egg whites.

Shipped directly from our Isleworth (West London) facility by DPD with a 1 hour delivery time slot. Not only does the KMix look great on countertops, but it also has an extra-large capacity that can hold 2.72kg of cake mixture and 1.35kg of bread dough, enough to make a couple of loaves or several Victoria sponges. Even when filled to capacity, the motor doesn’t overheat, which proves it’s not just style over substance. It does get a little shaky while making bread dough but even heavy-duty machines such as the KitchenAid Artisan become lethargic when pushed to their limits. Google sets the cookie for advertising purposes; to limit the number of times the user sees an ad, to unwanted mute ads, and to measure the effectiveness of ads. On the surface, the Artisan seems like an expensive jump from the classic stand mixer. However, once you consider the additional space, power, attachments and bowl – the price hike doesn’t seem quite so outrageous. Ease of use and cleaning: Modern stand mixers can offer sophisticated features but being easy to use is incredibly important. Washing your stand mixer’s attachments by hand can also be a pain, so we looked for dishwasher-safe accessories to make cleaning less of a headache.

Značka Sage

The flexible edge on this revolutionary beater wipes the sides and bottom of the bowl with every turn, cutting down mixing time by 60% and making clean up a snap. Also included are a stainless steel balloon whisk for aerating mixtures, a stainless steel dough hook, mixing and kneading yeast doughs for breads, doughnuts, bagels and sweet buns, and a spatula, for scraping every last drop of the mixture out of the bowl. Of course, if size is what you’re after, the Kenwood certainly wins this round with a 5-litre bowl. But if you don’t want to fill your kitchen worktops with a heavy glass bowl, it might be worth choosing the KitchenAid’s smaller 4.8L stainless steel bowl - which some could argue is the more stylish option. Which one is easiest to use and clean?

Value for money: there’s no point splashing out on a gadget-y machine with various accessories if you’re only going to use it to occasionally make basic cakes.
