Mix, Knead, Beat - KitchenAid 300 Watts KSM90 Ultra Power Series Stand Mixer I recently purchased the KitchenAid Ultra Power KSM90 mixer for $169.99. I have found that it does great mixing u...
This year I purchased a Kenwood mixer for doing my holiday baking. I already have a KitchenAid mixer, but wanted something larger and more powerful. The KitchenAid I have only has a 3.5 quart capacity, and has 325 watts of power. I make a LOT of holiday goodies and the KitchenAid just wasn”t enough.
The Kenwood has a 7 quart bowl and 650 watts of power. That”s a whole lot of power. With the 7 quart bowl I can double or triple my cookie or cake batches easily without worrying about volume. With its 650 watts of power a large batch does not tax the motor, (and cookie doughs are heavy batters). It never misses a beat, no strain on the motor, smooth, even, and strong. The Kenwood also has a fine speed adjustment that the KitchenAid just cannot match, including a pulse speed. It comes with a dough hook, a whipping blade and the standard flat blade. It too uses the rotating planetary action to mix and beat the ingredients. The blades are provided with a different type of coating: no matter what type of batter you are mixing, it will NOT stick to the blades. They are super easy to clean.
A very well designed addition collar comes standard. It matches the contours of the bowl closely for a snug fit. Unlike the KitchenAid there is NO flour or powder evolution puffing up and out of the bowl as you make additions.
Like the Kitchen Aid there are several types of attachments that can be added to the unit if desired. It can slice, dice, and do just about anything you want. However, there are two ports for adding the attachments: one at either end of the the unit rather than the one found on the KitchenAid.
There is one drawback to the unit: it is very noisy when running, and there is a strong vibration. I have not run it at maximum capacity. Perhaps that makes a difference.
I use my KithcenAid for everyday chores, that is, small batches. I have all the attachments except the grain mill. For small jobs the KitchenAid is fine, but when I want power I use the Kenwood. I think Christmas and the holidays will be much easier this year because of the Kenwood. I have used it several times to make bread, and the bread came out fabulous: soft, tender, with great texture and delicious–including my organic recipes. Simply great!
For small everyday jobs a KitchenAid is fine, but for large jobs go for the Kenwood. At $500.00 it”s not cheap and not for everyone but well worth the investment. I have had the unit for about 2 months now and everything still works smoothly. To do the job right you need the right tools. Well, the Kenwood is the right tool for the larger jobs, and well worth the investment.
For Large Jobs, I’ll take a Kenwood over a Kitchen Aid any day!! 650 watts of Power says it all!
