I own two stand mixers currently. I have a brand similar to the Aucma, and I have one of the Kitchen Aid Pro Series with the bowl lift arm. There are reasons I choose each for different chores. I use my less expensive Costways brand for batters, cookie doughs, and French meringues. Most of the pieces are dishwasher safe, and it just makes clean up much easier. None of those really require the motor to run for an extended amount of time. For making Italian, French, or German buttercreams, as well as breads, rolls, etc, I use the Kitchen Aid. The kneading movement is more effective, and then motor allows it to run for a much, much longer time before any automatic shut off. However, I'm lucky enough to have a prep area with a stainless steel prep table outside of my normal kitchen countertop space. So, I have space for both. If you bake multiple times a week, the wear and tear on the machine might be worth the investment in the more expensive units. However, if you're a weekend or special occasion baker, the lower cost mixers will serve you well for quite a while. I've had mine for five or so years, and it's still going. I bought it before investing in the Kitchen Aid. PS - my Kitchen Aid is in stainless to match the rest of the kitchen. ;-)

i used to have a stand mixer similar to the aucma and i was so excited i finally had a stand mixer i didn't bake as often as i do now but i used it a fair bit, i loved the shield but it was a suction one and half the time it didn't stick. once i learnt how to do swiss meringue butter cream my mixer didn't want to work and in the end the actual mechanism fell off into my batter i was gutted i think my parents bought it for me for around 70 pounds, the day my mixer broke i had a complete melt down and decided to spend the money on a kitchen aid. i got it on offer for 300 pounds and it has been the best money i have ever spent. its so heavy though haha and the shield is useless i bought a glass bowl extra and that feels heavier than the mixer i do want to say the bit that the attachment goes in to doesn't seem that sturdy the amount of times ive had to stop and re adjust is more than i want to considering the price of these thing. love that you've done this video

this is such a good time for this i've wanted a stand mixer but i could never never never afford a kitchen aid. i'd like to get something more in the range of the kenswood or cuisinart. i bake cupcakes and sell them by order but it's so expensive to get a stand mixer, i've never quite been able to save up enough for one, since they're super expensive in my country and super pricey to ship in and i don't have a full time job since i'm just finishing my last year in secondary school. i've been considering the aucma but i'm worried because of how cheap it is. it seems too good to be true

I have the AUCMA stand mixer, got it around 3 years ago when I was really getting into baking as a hand mixer can only do so much. Despite the bowl not being the biggest, it does the job really well. It has a really powerful motor, which is my favourite thing about it as I was worried that it wouldn't be that fast, but let me tell you, it goes a lot faster than the one I have in work, and we have a KitchenAid stand mixer in work. If you are on a budget I would highly recommend the AUCMA stand mixer, you won't get a better one for that price.

My first ever stand mixer that I bought in 2014, was the Kenwood K-Mix. Completely inspired by you Jemma, when I saw it in the store I got excited and was like Jemmas mixer I would marvel at how butter and sugar would get EXTRA fluffy and how it would whip egg whites and egg yolks to massive volume. Since moving to NYC 7 months ago, Ive had to bid goodbye to it. Was so sad, thanked it for wonderful years of excellent service and gave it a kiss adieu. But no doubt, Ill get another one here

I have used both the Artisan and Professional series Kitchen Aid models and by far prefer my Pro series. I find the Artisan motors to be too fast when mixing cake batters. My pro mixer has a variable speed start so you never throw flour or icing sugar when starting mixing. Also the dough hooks on Artisan have a tendency to allow the dough to climb right over the top disk and get into the attachment connection. Good luck with your tests.

I have the 6qt kitchenaid professional mixer in gray/gun metel color. I will be upgraded to 7qt pro baker professional mixer in same color. I'VE never burned a motor on none of my mixers. I ONLY use for baking and haven't done cuttings attachment or meat grinder and pasta maker. When I purchased, I also bought 3 extra paddles with spatula on it and 1 extra bowl and has never let me down on performance on bread making or sponge making.

I am looking forward to the review of Kmix and the cheaper one. Got the kitchen Aid but noticed that the metal rode which attached the head to the body does try to come out every time I knead bread dough speed 2. So I have to press it back with my thumb and not move every time I make bread dough. I cannot return it because I bought it years ago and never really used it. Only least month I decided to make my own bread.

I have a Peabody stand mixer and it is great. One of the best things I bought. It's durable, doesn't move while mixing, can go really fast and comes with the 3 attachments. Wish it came with another bowl. Sometimes I have to mix different butters and I hate cleaning the bowl in between. I always clean after I'm finished with everything. My Peabody can mix up to 7 or 8 eggs depending of the size.

We've burned out the motor twice on our kitchenaid and honestly dont want to ever deal with in again. At Aldi's several months back we picked up a cheap stand mixer. We've 4 kids and they all occasionally like to bake. We told then to treat it like a hand mixer they don't have to hold, and it has been great and used multiple times a week. The only complaint the kids have is not having a second bowl.
