The Kenwood Prospero+ KHC29 is a compact mixer with a big bowl and many attachments, but its plastic build, loose head and poor fit for small batches hold it back.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Kenwood Prospero+ KHC29.A0SI

  • Compact design that takes up minimal kitchen counter and storage space
  • Excellent value for money, making it an affordable entry-level mixer
  • Powerful 1000W motor that handles basic baking and everyday tasks efficiently
  • Efficient planetary mixing action that covers the entire bowl well
  • Lightweight and easy to move around the kitchen
  • Comes with essential non-stick baking tools like the K-beater, whisk, and dough hook
  • Versatile multi-functional capabilities with various top-hub attachments

What customers don't like about Kenwood Prospero+ KHC29.A0SI

  • The mixer shakes, wobbles, and flexes significantly at the main joint when kneading heavy dough
  • Constructed with a lightweight plastic body that can feel fragile or less durable compared to older all-metal models
  • The mixing bowl continues to spin automatically even when using top-mounted attachments like the blender
  • Can be quite loud during operation, especially on higher speed settings
  • Requires occasional scraping of the bowl sides for lighter or smaller mixtures
  • Not ideal for heavy-duty batch cooking or processing large volumes of dense dough

Verdict

The Kenwood Prospero+ KHC29.A0SI is a compact, silver stand mixer featuring a powerful 1000-watt motor, a 4.3-liter brushed stainless steel bowl, and total planetary mixing action. Its main characteristics include variable electronic speed control with a pulse option, a safety interlock system, and non-stick metal bowl tools comprising a K-beater, balloon whisk, and dough hook. Key pros include its space-saving ergonomic design that easily fits under kitchen cabinets, dishwasher-safe components, and sufficient power to efficiently handle heavy mixtures like pizza dough. However, noted cons include a plastic outer body construction, a relatively short power cord, and the fact that the stainless steel bowl does not feature a handle.
