Third-party reviews

What customers like about Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker KVC65.001

  • Integrated EasyWeigh digital scales allow direct weighing in the bowl to reduce mess
  • Powerful 1200W digitally controlled motor handles heavy doughs smoothly
  • Built-in count-up timer helps prevent under- or over-mixing
  • High-quality stainless steel mixing tools are sturdy and completely dishwasher-safe
  • Smooth and gentle speed control transitions including a dedicated fold function
  • Highly versatile with compatibility for over 25 optional attachments
  • Effective splash guard prevents ingredients like icing sugar from puffing out

What customers don't like about Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker KVC65.001

  • Can be quite loud and mechanical when running at high speeds
  • The machine can wobble or jolt slightly when kneading very stiff doughs
  • The 5L stainless steel bowl lacks a handle, making pouring more difficult
  • It has a large footprint and heavy build, making it bulky to move and store
  • The tilt-head opens up tall and can hit low-hanging kitchen cupboards
  • The attachment process for the protective splash lid is not very practical
  • It is a relatively expensive entry-level model within the premium range

Verdict

The Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker KVC65.001 is a robust 9.5 kg planetary stand mixer equipped with a digitally controlled 1200W motor, a 5-liter stainless steel mixing bowl, and 6 speed settings plus pulse and delicate fold functions. Its standout features include integrated EasyWeigh digital scales for direct-to-bowl measuring, an automatic countdown timer, a LightLift head for easy ingredient additions, and customizable PopTop covers. The main pros are its powerful performance capable of handling up to 2.18 kg of heavy dough, highly accurate built-in scales that save on cleanup, and compatibility with over 25 optional attachments. However, notable cons include its bulky and heavy footprint making it difficult to store away, a tendency to wobble or jolt when working with stiff doughs, and the omission of an extra secondary mixing bowl in this specific package.
