The Lakeland 6.5L digital mixer suits regular bakers who need a big bowl, but its touch panel, handle-less bowl and wasteful packaging let it down.

The Lakeland 6.5L digital mixer is a reliable budget workhorse for big batches and multitasking, though the panel and handle-less bowl are awkward.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Lakeland Digital Stand Mixer 6.5L

  • Generous 6.5-litre bowl capacity makes it ideal for batch baking and large mixtures.
  • Powerful 1800W motor easily handles heavy doughs like pizza and bread.
  • Integrated countdown timer allows users to walk away while mixing.
  • Suction pads on the base provide excellent stability and stop the machine from shifting at high speeds.
  • The flexible-edge beater effectively scrapes the sides of the bowl to combine ingredients smoothly.
  • Excellent value for money, delivering premium looks and performance at a reasonable price point.
  • Attachments like the dough hook, whisk, and beater are dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.

What customers don't like about Lakeland Digital Stand Mixer 6.5L

  • The digital touchscreen display can become unresponsive if your fingers are wet, sticky, or covered in ingredients.
  • The stainless steel bowl lacks a handle, making it awkward to grip and pour heavy batters.
  • The large footprint requires a significant amount of kitchen countertop or storage space.
  • The mixing bowl can sometimes be stiff or tricky to unlock and remove after a heavy mixing cycle.
  • The balloon whisk can occasionally leave a small amount of unmixed cake batter at the very bottom of the deep bowl.

Verdict

The Lakeland Digital Stand Mixer features a robust 1800W pure copper motor, an efficient full metal gear system, and a large 6.5-litre stainless steel bowl capable of kneading up to 1.5kg of dough. Key performance highlights include a planetary mixing action, a tilt-head design for easy attachment swaps, and an intuitive LED digital touchscreen display with 10 speed settings, a pulse function, and an integrated auto-stop timer to prevent over-mixing. On the downside, the touch panel can become unresponsive if your hands are coated in grease or ingredients, and the large bowl lacks a handle, making it difficult to lift and detach from the mixer's strong suction-base pads.
