Andrew James Stand Mixer for Baking Food Mixer | 1300W Max | Large 5.5 Litre Bowl 6 Speed Pulse Mode | Kitchen Cake Mixers | Flexi-Beater Dough Hook Balloon Whisk Removable Splash Guard

Nice item, mixes contents very well, well worth the price.

Great food mixer we make lovely cakes and scones would not be without it,

The media could not be loaded. This is my first stand mixer I’ve bought. Would have liked a Kitchen Aid one but couldn’t really justify spending that much money on one. So after a lot of searching and comparing decided on this one. Have used it a few times and I’m very happy with it. The paddle / whisk reaches the bottom of the bowl, it’s easy to use I leave the splash guard on all the time rather than taking it off and putting it back. As the body of the mixer is plastic it is light enough to pick up and store in a cupboard If you haven’t got the worktop space. The suction cups keep it in place while using it. The only drawback is it sounds like a small aircraft taking off. It has a high-pitched piercing noise when you turn it up. I know all stand mixers are noisy but this is very very loud!

My mum loves it, it’s easy to use and makes perfect cakes. Looks great on the work surface too.

This is my 3rd appliance by Andrew James, I was worried that the quality would have gone down after the original owners sold up, however, the product and quality are still just as good! I have used this several times now, I think the flexible beater alone has been worth it. There was no need to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl as you do with other (often more expensive) makes. My caramel cake, Victoria sponge and the buttercream that go with them all turned out perfect. I have used the dough hook for pasta and the balloon whisk for meringues and batters, absolutely no complaints on any of them. There is a knack to getting the best from the splatter guard, however! I found that you have to fit it to the top mechanism and then BEFORE you start mixing, lower the tool in to the bowl and then jiggle the guard down until it sits neatly on the bowl, use a tea towel to cover the hole where you can add extra ingredients, and almost nothing escapes. It sounds like a faff but it only takes a few seconds. The only improvement I would make is to put a lift up cover on the hole in the guard. Everything else is brilliant. Time will tell how long it will last, but so far so good!

The media could not be loaded. Head locking mechanism failed within the first 10mins locking it in the raised position. the issue reported elsewhere so it’s clearly a design flaw. Machine felt light and cheap (which it is) and was very noisy but I’ve got lots of Andrew James kit from before the bankruptcy so had faith. It was returned under the Amazon guarantee (tricky as it no longer fits in the box when broken like that!) but I was very disappointed.

Bought this as a present and the recipient is very happy with it
